Trails are getting choppy in the corners. Lots of sleds out there. Moosifer joined us & we rode up to the shelter on Top C. Talking to a few riders (a group that left Hearst today & a couple riding back from Kap) & they say other than the rough stretch between Cochrane & SRF, the Corridor was good.

Explored the L trails this morning. C west, L22, A111C, L31 & L25 then back to Mikes for lunch.

 

Intersection of TOP C & L25 north of Timmins:

And here's a few of my pics to add to revrnd's mix.  L22, L31 and L25 in particular were in awesome shape.

Not necessarily.  Been there and you can get some good speed.  LOL

revrnd, I am glad that you have found mostly good trail conditions to enjoy the new sled on. If you need another trip this year, you might want to look into the drive to SSM. Lots of snow north of Searchmont to Hearst that should last most of this month. I agree with you completely about the transition from 600 2stroke to 900 ACE. I used to ride along the straight stretches daydreaming about different sleds that I would like. Now the thought never enters my mind. Hope your last day goes well.
