Je me souviens Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well I did not get to go up on T-day after all. If anyone did make it up there, please post some pics to remind me why we all love Qc so much. Thanks. A brief report would be much appreciated.

TDI-HAM Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 We tried the Lanaudiere area on Sunday- 220 kilometers. Started at the Glaciere, towards the Cabanon, over to Saint Michel- All this had been dragged and was in good shape considering the high traffic on Saturday. From Saint Michel we decided to do the "Tour du Lac Toro"- This was - well a workout- Trail had not been dragged, an atv had gone part way, so following the tracks was the only way minimize hitting the rocks- Once things smoothed out there was about 24" of snow for the last 10-15 kilometers before you hit the Dam. Dam back to Cabanon was dragged and smooth- Snow coverage was acceptable. I actually came up on 2 female moose standing in the trail about 1/2 between the dam and the Cabanon- Quite a site to see how massive a moose can be. Cabanon back to Glaciere, dragged and very few rocks- The area is supposed to get snow all week, and the Tremblant park was opened yesterday- Going to head back up next Sunday and do a bit more scouting to see what's open, what's changed and of course as every year what trails are closed due to "rights of passage" complications. We spoke to a couple that had scheduled a trip to the Monts Valins, but they had cancelled to low snow- I heard they are still in need of more accumulations, which should be coming this week. If you are making a long trip call before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain-rev Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 TDI-HAM, Nice report.... glad to hear things are shaping up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thank you for the report, I guess I did not realize they had snow that close to home. Glad I did not try to drive to Chicoutimi when there are trails to ride near the St-Michelle area. I was at the habs game on Saturday, and the guy next to me worked at St-Sauveur resort, he said that they had snow too. I love looking at the snow depth chart as soon as you hit the site. Who ever decided to make that the first page you see on the site needs a beer. Great work TDI-HAM. La prochaine fois amene la camera, merci.

TDI-HAM Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I did snap a few pictures with my phone- I'll see what they look like and if the're any good I'll post them tonight. First time I decided not to bring my actual digital camera on our first outing. Nothing special. but these were taken in the parking lot of the Galciere- Note the lovely cloud of burning fogging oil lingering around the sled... By the way this sled is for sale if anyone is interested. 2006 switchback 600 HO- 8040 Kilometers- 5500$ PM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
