I think it was around 600’ish each that we paid for a cabin that slept 4 of us for a week at Rabaska back in 2020 I think. I don’t think that included meals, but cannot recall right now.

I’m not interested in travelling more than 2 hours to ride so I still have time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to get into the spirit when at home winter has not really shown up.....even if there is nothing to ride near me, at least some snow out the window is encouraging. I just got out for a ride the other day and it is surprising what a difference it makes in my enthusiasm / interests after you get out and put some actual miles on. Still do not like the driving to ride though - my threshold is around 2.5, unless it is a trip, than totally different ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im into other things in the shop and have some small projects to get to around the house. I didn’t plan for any sled trips this year. Maybe I’ll find time to do a couple days in February if the trails don’t open closer to home. Not looking good for districts 4,5 or 9 right now.

No frost either so going to be a short season no doubt. 2 weeks minimum to open now. Not much left after first week of March. That leaves us with 2 to 3 week season. That’s depressing to be honest. Seems all trails that are open near park are all best to crap. Lots of complaints every where about traffic and not enough grooming. Every flocking to open trails.

And when there's no open trails in the south by end of January, everyone heads north and chews up the trails. No thanks. I'll wait for a window of good trails or not go at all. There is always next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still putting more miles on my sled than the bike so I got out. It was nice to look at in the garage though.

I always loved riding 62 and 64. That area always had good trails for man power they have. Usually snow coverage is same as HF. Glad to see some help to keep them open and great loop to avoid B trail in hali 😎. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always next year. March break head to Cochrane or week after if things stay open. Should be safe to go then 😎. I want to go. No way I am going to take zero miles in a season 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
