Left Shawinigan sunday 3/2 to sainte ferol des neiges condition 7/10 due to local Quebec city traffic.
Monday took trail 83 to HI Jonquerie, awsome 10/10.
Tuesday looped around lac st. jean but had a mishap and had to find a Bombardier dealer so we back tracked to Alma, the dealer there were awsome, took us in right away and found a broken wire. we went on to to roberval for the night, conditions 9/10.
Today it is white out conditions, over a foot of snow and still comming down so we went local riding this morning and are staying here again tonight, hopefully we can continue to la tuque tomorrow.
Will post rest of conditions as soon as trip is over or next hotel computer.

If it`s not an adventure then it`s not fun!
I have 2 first timers with me and they are having a ball (except for today, they are bored waiting out the storm!)
Can`t wait for tomorrow to hit the fresh powder!!

Well fresh powder it was!
Left Chautau Roberval thursday morning on freshly groomed trail but for only a few miles!
Had to push over a foot of snow to the bridge on 73 going to relais 22. Burnt a ton of gas!
Groomer had gone by on other side of bridge so 10/10 till relais 22.
Caught up with groomer 20 miles past relais 22 and then ungroomed till La tuque.
We decided to continue all the way to Shawinigan 355-360 -318 - and none of the trails were groomed and they started to get bumpy.
Ran into groomer on 318 outside of shawinigan at end of day.
The storm ended wednessday at 8pm up north but with the exception of the relais 22 section (club latuqe?) none were groomed almost 24 hours later, a little dissapointed.
