Jean Guy,  I bet that is the same machine we watched breaking ice in Pointe a la Croix a few years back.  

 

Bob  It is a hovercraft if you cant tell by the picture.  The downward air pressure cracks the ice so it breaks up easier.  Pretty cool watching it slide around.

Jean-Guy,

 It looks like there was still alot of snow in 2008, why was that your last trip on the TQ5?

bonjour pinkm1

yaa...still lots of snow.....right after a storm ...

we always groomed into first week of april when possible.......tourists season is over and most local riders are fed up with snow !!!

some see a little rock or a little patch or dirt .....vroooooooooooommm...sled in the garage...season kaputt...

those who still riding late...i guess they have camps in the woods ....

i drove in front of the house of a friend this morning ....gone at the lake  with his sled...saw only 1 track this morning on the local trail......none on tq  5

batch  of ice this morning ........snow squalls this morning ...

-3c !!!

Good Morning!! 

 

Looking at Jean-Guys photos and dreaming of next winter already!

 

This is the last of his 59th year! On Sunday April 11th he will begin his 60th! So next winter (March) I will (If covid allows) organize a Birthday Party to celebrate! 

 

For now...it will keep me happy to plan for next season!

 

Happy Birthday Week Jean-guy! I will keep posting some of my favourite pics of you!
