And cut a lot better
Got another 2" in the last hour.

jason knowlton said:i have a hunting camp north of madoc so I'm just waiting on some good snow to get in there. I was told there was 2 feet before the thaw came which would have made for some good riding. It's only January and we can still get some good snow and riding in Febuary and possible early March maybe. A couple of my buddies and I are planning on putting some money away this summer with the expectations of possibly doing a 4 day trip next winter to Quebec or maybe Cochrane New Liskerd area.
One of my buddies went with guys from Iantomassi racing 2 years ago and said it cost him $650 to $700 to go for four days. he also said if we waited to go to quebec till the end of the winter we might be able to buy permits cheap from someone that isn't gonna use theres anymore.Cooper0809 said:my younger brother went to Cochrane last year with his buddies, not sure how much that trip cost him but he might be goin again this year. He also went to quebec at the end of this past December for 4 days and that trip cost him $1200+$160 for a pass. I think he went with 6or7 of his friends. just to give you an idea of what it might cost ya. they went to mt. tremblanc....I think that's how ya spell it. supposed to have taken them 7hrs, but took 11hrs because of that huge storm that went through on that Thursday.

I've never been to quebec but I hear they do have awesome trails. I think Ontario has a free ride day as well on Family Day but I think I heard it was all weekend but I would verifi that with the OFSC before I went.O2viper700 said:Quebec has a free ride day on February 9 which I will be taking advantage of.
My dad has gone riding in Quebec before and has never experenced such nice trails. Can't wait!
I've you got snow out there and really cold. There comes a limit how cold you're prepared to ride in. I draw the line after -25C her. The wind chill is a bit too much and frost bite is no fun. I had it one on full helmet. My lower cheeks swollen up like chipmunks. My Venture is much better in the cold then my old Mirage II I had but hasn't seen those temp since I got it. The handle bar heater can fry bacon wrapped around them I am sure. I keep it on the lowest setting and its plenty warm.bluemonster1 said:well we have the snow here..but the temps are in the -45 range now and for the rest of the week.So no riding .Everything is rock hard,my back is still sore from doing 20 km's on last Saturday.. so this is pathetic ...
told ya!!!! Yeah we never get what they tell us what is coming.It keeps scooting North or East of us most times.Now it is friggin cold windchills into -45 range all week now.Maybe Saturday warms up a bit to -17 temps.I don't have any issues with freezing while riding,my grips are hot,my BVS helmet works mint to eliminate fog since I wear glass's.Just don't think it is good for the sled in that temp. hitting all the hard drifts and maybe breaking something and have to walk home.Not worth it for me. I will sled if it is around -20 temps and sunny out.Last week I took a little ride and it was around -38 windchill..wasn't that terrible..but took it easy on the wot runs,keep rpms to around 8000 most times.I have jetted up both sleds this year 1 jet size up from stock..I am sure that will help.Cooper0809 said:didn't get that 15cm we were supposed to get, should've listened to ya Blue!
That"s cool must be nice lol. Well sooner or later we have to get some snow down south here I hope.95rxl650 said:I just got back from a 6 hour ride on some nicely groomed trails and some not groomed yet. A couple deep mud/water holes, but not to bad.
The guys I was with said it's the best riding they've had in 3 years.
My van has another 4 inches on it since I left.
Stud issue is solved...atleast up to 100mph or so. Most of the roads had too much snow to get to top speeds.
Cant see across the street right now. About friken time.
