blaze Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just wondering if anybody knows conditions out of Saint Raymond hopefully better after the storm I bet. Is it worth driving up from Connecticut by the end of this coming week I know it's hard to predict the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledzz Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I was at the Roquemont tuesday night and left on the sleds Wednesday morning and returned yesterday. Was icy for the first 20 miles as said above, then absolutely perfect. We went up to the Delta in Jonquiere. They we calling for ice pellets this morning in St. Ray and up to a foot of snow at Letape today. Wish i could go back, it was great PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Drove up to just south of Saint Raymond yesterday - raining heavily from south western Quebec to Trois Riviere up to Portneuf Station, but snow further on up to Sainte Christine aux dÁuvergne. Fields were saturated but conditions got better the more northerly you headed. Combo of slick snow and crunch snow. I will be out today doing a day loop and will take a few pictures, but given the upcoming temperature forecasts I would say you are probably good to go. Hopefully more saddle baggers will report also if that is your thing, but keeping north is probably the best idea. Seven day forecast: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/weather/quebec/saint-raymond Fourteen day forecast: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/14-day-weather-trend/quebec/saint-raymond?from7day=1 Meantime when you are in the area, (and you've got your cholesteral meds stocked up) consider visiting this cultural event on a Saturday or Sunday at Au Chalet en Bois Rond - trail goes right through the premises - you can use the imotoneige app or map to find location: Web site here: reservations: https://www.auchaletenboisrond.com/en/events/our-events/sugar-shack-brunch https://www.auchaletenboisrond.com/en Four nights for the price of two promotion on now.

slomo Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Out yesterday - (Saturday) scratchers definitely recommended - sleds left the trail on this field to get lube, but did not even leave a track print! After some use, top layer of most trails went granular ice - if groomer was out right after the storm as was the St. Raymond club, it was as if a zamboni had paved the trails with a layer of ice - Otherwise the going was good - some grooming needed but generally spring riding. My biggest concern would be the effects of running water under the snow - some spongy areas already and the streams are running high. Nice to be out though!

Hey Jeff & Sandi, been following your posts, quite a trip you folks have been on. Just curious where is your truck parked? Stay safe.

Northbound Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Blaze, we found conditions good from QC to latuque today. Everything groomed up, a little grainy south, but got better heading north. Alot of southbound traffic today but plenty of snow. Joe, hopefully still at the Delta. It's been a good winter, but it's not over yet. We'll find out tomorrow 🙂 zeusand, MrGutz, PLAYHARD and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpionbowl Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 No need for scratchers today, Claremont to st Raymond. Things should be good till the next serious warmup or rain. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFARJM Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 We're planning to ride 23 from St. Ray Friday.going up to Alma. Has anyone stayed at Manoir du Lac Sept Isles instead of the Roquemont? Is there a good trail to get onto 23? Manoir looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 The local orange trail is right off 23. You have to travel across the lake to get to the Manoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jeff I believe I tried that place once upon a time years ago as a back up because the Roq was full if indeed it is the same place, I seem to remember the parking situation was not ideal. The other knock I had on the place was no direct trail access if the lake is not safe to cross Edited March 16, 2020 by Je me souviens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Apres le deluge....moi Yesterday, heavy snow fall of about a foot, mixed precipitation for a few hours, rain in sheets during the evening and figured our last day here in the Saint Raymond area would be a non- event, but some groomers had been out and main trails 73 and 23 in relatively good shape. A few parting photos... Likely our last ride of the year....sad.😕 Blueblood, mikerider, PLAYHARD and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
