I too have ridden solo in Quebec - not generally recommended but I was riding from the same place and returning there each day.

Hats off to you! I could say you were lucky but having also run out of gas alone, I can’t judge! Thanks for the write up and pictures.
“Locks only keep honest people honest” is a saying I often cite.
Also, these thefts are usually newer, 4wd diesel p/u’s and 3+ sled trailers. You can only make your stuff the least noticeable/most difficult to take.
Thanks Steven. Looked like a great trip (minus the overheating issue). Thanks for the write up and great pics!
P. S. Not sure I could ever travel with 8 - too used to a small group.
Also the grooming before normal snowfall takes a toll. These machines pull a heavy drag that is filled with snow if it’s adequate and need to push a blade out front too.
Thanks for posting this. Haven’t been there since before covid and knew nothing about the chalets - they must be new (?)
sadly, the closure of TQ55 will affect many places north of St. George’s. Hate to see it😢
R.I.P Les Collett and Collett Communicators. They were well designed, all condition units that had the added benefit of a ‘groomer warning beacon’ that alerted you when a groomer was close by.
Thanks for so many great pics and your usual, entertaining narration! That area is generally good to great riding although I prefer to stay off the lake. Glad your ride was good and best of luck sorting out your tech issues.
Don’t want be labeled a ‘climate denier’ but there have always been ’bad winters’. Certainly last winter was notable for a lack of snow nearly everywhere but I’ll try to be a bit optimistic and hope to look back again in 5yrs to say “don’t need these snowmobiles anymore” 😢
