scottyr Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 I am in St Michel right now. Not tons of snow but they are grooming pretty consistently. We parked the truck in Mont Laurier and the 1st 20kms out of town are terrible. The trail should be closed. Once you get about 20kms outside of town things get a lot better. The further north you go the better the trails for sure. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've been reading on Quebec Rider the further north (towards 83) you go the better but reservations are very hard to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sitting back in Mont Laurier after 4 days/1189kms of riding. Day 1 - ML to 100 Lacs. Once you got 20kms out of town the trails were good. From St Anne Du Lac to Meekos was brutal. North from Meekos gradually turned into great conditions. Day 2-100 Lacs to Riviere Mattawin. 80% of the trails were mint. Day 3 - RM to St Michel. 70% were excellent. Day 4- St Michel back north towards Repos and then down to Mekoos and then west towards Rabaska and then back into ML. We got into some drizzle today but the majority of the trails were good to excellent. The trail into ML was worse than on the way out. If I was going there, I would avoid ML and go to an Outfitter north of town to stage out of. By the looks of the long range around ML, next weekend may not be rideable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to hearing your report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MXZMike Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 Suns out.. If temps stay above freezing a lot of damage is going to be done. Sun will kill anything thats open. I imagine most roads are pretty bare already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 I think this coming week unfortunately could be the final nail in the coffin. The ground isn’t frozen, and water is flowing in a lot of places. Even if we do get a big storm mid February, I personally think it won’t last or that there wont be enough time to reopen the trails. I hate to be that guy, but I think this season is done. These are just my thoughts, and I’ve been wrong many times before but forecast is showing 7 days in a row of above average temperatures with 5 straight days of sun and more rain to follow after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were open for 5 days in our area and had lots of sleds through day and night. I was fortunate enough 600 km. riding from home on 6 different clubs trails all connected and yellow on the map. Thats almost twice as long as we were open last year. I closed the gates where the trail goes through a horse field across the road. Hope I have to open them again but.................. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 My Ontario permit is still in the envelope after saying I wasnt buying one this year. My Quebec permit is stuck to the sled. If I have to drive 8-10 hrs to ride any more this season, it will be in Quebec. I think I may put my OFSC permit on Marketplace and see if I can recoup $100 from someone wanting to go to Cochrane or somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
