Sled Den Update
April 8th

WHO:      Quebecmountainrider and friends

WHAT:    Sledder’s heaven

WHERE:   Somewhere near the Sled Den, Gaspésie

WHEN:    Second week April 2013

WHY:      Well, Why not? ….or….. Because I can!!!

....we drove up in the morning and it was snowing in the mountains, we left in the afternoon and it was snowing in the mountains....

What an incredible day with my 2 local friends…..We had a fun time riding the pow pow in APRIL !!

....Guillaume  - killer sidehill in 2 feet of pow....

The drive by truck was under cloud, but as soon as we got to 1000 feet, the freezing rain started….at 1500 it was snow only. Just a light snow for the whole day!

....Christopher on a 146....

The clouds were low and that made for a foggy, snowy ride….lol….nonetheless….cutting tracks in pow pow.

.....the guy in back is standing up and the guy in front is sitting down and the result of digging trenches is....the blown belt around his neck.....

The snow was wind-blown in some spots but even though the snow was setting up, we still had 2 feet of POW….The Mountainforecast says we are getting snow all week….with the most on Saturday....Who knows with them….They have been wrong every time this year!

....Guillaume doing his thing....

The trails are still being groomed….They were done just yesterday. Like carpets I might say….

....if you've been following the blog and the pics, this is the same stream as previous pic 2 weeks ago and there is even more snow today....

There’s pow pow all week and maybe all weekend….I usually don’t see pow after the 18th  of April....But who knows?....I still say we will be riding May 13th  for Mother’s Day.. ..!





...if you didn't know where to ride, this is the place in the BC of Gaspésie.....








So if that itch is still there, we have pow pow for the next week for sure….last weekend for fresh pow maybe, then a month or more of spring riding….Jack
