Sled Den Update
March 24th - Snow...snow...snow...

Woke up this morning at the Sled Den and found another 6 inches on the truck…..Whoohoo!!!

We got ready and headed out for of my best sledding days ever…

Yesterday I wrote that I have never ridden in snow this deep in the Gaspésie…..well, I say again today that I have never ridden in snow this deep in the Gaspésie - close to 5 feet plus.

It snowed another foot overnight and while we rode…….  it snowed another foot….The tracks from the day before were completely gone….We thought that was crazy…….But then when we rode out it was like we were the first ones……. cutting tracks…..whoohoo!

We have gotten over 4 feet - I would even say more like five feet - of snow above 2200 feet... ….Most places you're up to your waist when you get off your sled…..Other spots, IT’S EVEN DEEPER….It’s nuts.....

The forecast is for warm temps but that’s like 1°C….but up high it’s just right….another 15 - 20 cms this Tuesday….lol….Crazy…!!!

The trails have not been groomed...don’t know why…but when they are, I’ll let you know right away. The trails are full of snow…..above 2000 feet there are more than 3 feet on the trails.

We didn’t get much in the way of big winds with this storm, so maybe you can pass on the trails…..not sure.

We will be riding late this year….There will be good riding in the spring for the whole month of April. I’m sure we will be riding Mommys day…..

This is Annie and Chantal….

just a couple of girls riding with their boyfriends

and another friend…..

....just kicking back……

DEAD SLED……Yep, we left a sled in the mountains today…..It just died. It finally gave up after all that powder over the handlebars….

The snow came down so hard that by the time we left, there was a foot on the tracks we had made in the morning to get to the spot...

We’re watching a guy try and climb a wall....lol....

Didn’t make it….too much snow!!!

The sledding is insane now….and more snow for the mountains coming.... so don’t put your sleds away yet, all you diehards……plenty more sledding to come…..Jack
