Great time to experience what Quebec has to offer.

More pics from Quebec last week.
We woke up Wed am to 6+ inches of fresh snow and temps right around freezing. Made our way down the club trail to the rail line n headed East to L'Annonciation for brunch. Once a few miles each, accumulation was closer to 8 inches, great ride. As you can see, virgin undisturbed trail for miles n miles n miles.

If you look close in the last two shots, deer on the trail. During our ride, came across 20+ on the trails in different places. Later in the day, one came out of the woods n lept across the trail almost clocking my brother, damm it was close.

Last deer finally gave up the trail n opted for the woods.
In for lunch at the local truck stop, worst food of the trip but at least it didn't make us sick. Normally busy truck stop equals pretty good grub, maybe an off day.
Former rail station, yes those are piles of snow not dirt.

After eating we turned back West opting for a local club trail vs the rail line. Snow depth started off about the same but within a few miles it increased to 14" plus with trail going from flat to nothing but huge rolling hills n narrow. OMG it was fun.

Few miles into it, finally got lucky n had sunshine for a couple of hours. Nothing but virgin trail n deep snow to play in, sledders paradise.

Pics don't do justice of high high you really are, no way you want to loose control of the sled n end up over the edge, amazing scenery.

Loaded up n headed home. Even though only a couple of days riding, packed a ton of miles n fun into the time we had away. All in, logged just over 500 miles on the sleds. My brothers Ram did an impressive job of hauling the sleds n gear all the while just sipping the fuel back.
