Just rode this trail east to west on Friday. Agree with all that people here have said. Best conditions I have ever encountered were this week. There was no water breaking up through ice bridges, no ice on the hills - conditions I have seen before. The only serious issue with this trail can occur on the east side hill when it becomes ice covered. Then getting up is very difficult without studs, and can become dangerous. Friday we had an Apex without studs in our group and there was no issue because the snow conditions were great. When riding through this area, ride as many of the excellent 130 and 190 series trails as possible, unless you really like rail trails. The newly routed A trail has over 45 km of rail trail between Deux Riviere and Deep River - great for making time but very boring. 

Negative, but we rode across Mary Lake at around 4:30 on our way back. Only ones around 

The trails these sleds were running are smoother than the roads around here . 

Candu did they notify you about this agreement during price negotiations ? Or after they had your cheque . The dealer should of at least given you a jug , or a case at cost .
