Carman Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Riding from Roberval to Saint-Raymond next Saturday. What is the better route for fast, wide, picturesque trails; 355 to 73 or 23? Any good lookouts or trail side attractions we should check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooright Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'd prefer 355 to LT-2 (Local trail starts by Trapper Relais ) Join with 73 east to saint Raymond ... or even take SR-1 that connects with the 23 near saint Raymonds club house Carman and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooright Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Lac- Bouchette then Lac - Edouard are on 355 , gas at both Edited March 13, 2019 by dooright Carman and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) "First class dilemma!" Both are super-duper, when they're groomed. I'd use iMoto to make the decision. 23 is a bit faster & wider overall, but like Dooright said 355 using 73 & LT1 & SR1 are GREAT riding! If you go down 23, on a clear day, check the lookout tower 1 click north of Mt Apica relay. The relay has cash-only gas and a good lunch resto. And enables bypassing the few extra (typically lumped out) miles to get in & out of L'Etape.

800steve Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Came down the 355 yesterday and it was great. But warm temps and weekend traffic could be bad on both trails. Which ever one was groomed last would get my vote. Carman and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carman Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 How are the trails holding up after the rain? I haven’t seen any groomer activity in 48 hours... PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionbowl Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Never seen imotoneige with so little green and yellow trails, almost non existent. Mattawin to St Felicien was excellent today, except for a small stretch at the start of the pipeline. PLAYHARD and Carman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club in Tremblant area is sending the groomers out tonight since the rain and mild weather moved off early this morning.
