800steve Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Left Derby VT Monday morning, west to Holland border crossing. Need more snow in that area, crossed at Holland to trail 521. North on 521 very good condition to trail 55, Trail 55 is in very good shape. Picked up 65 in Weedon, mid winter conditions from here. North to 540 and into Thetford mines. trails are in great condition, lots of snow here. For people who were wondering, looks like the Balmoral Hotel is closed. Comfort Inn is easy to get to and nice staff, Headed back Tues morn, COLD, hit -30f just south of Thetford mines. Headed back up Saturday to Riv Du Loup area.

Fuse6 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Thanks for the report. Thinking about going there next week if can find some guys to commit. Does the Comfort Inn in Thetford Mines have lots of parking, and allow people to park if want to saddlebag for a couple of days? Or can anyone recommend a hotel to start from in the Drummondville, Victoriaville, Thetford Mines area. Would be coming from Ontario. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

800steve Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Comfort Inn does not have alot of parking, the new hotel Road Runner posted about has a huge parking lot. I dont know there policy on leaving trucks there.If you find out anything post it, We used to leave our trucks at the Balmoral, but seems they have closed.

RoadRunner Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Steve 800, I did not check their parking policy, but they are very snowmobile friendly, so suspect they would come up with a solution for you. Give them a call. Happy trails RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
