OK, so maybe some people would prefer this weekend to hit Tremblant for some Backcountry fun. I'm still going weekend after x-mas and those who can join me is OK but for those who can't here's another option.

Cheers

IM in with my board...!

Cool, who else?

Apparently Tremblant has had only snow so far this year and what we got here as rain the past few days turned into snow for them. I need to go walking a bit because the holidays have been real good to me foodwise and drinking.

I am available on the Saturday January 2nd and would really prefer not going anywhere on the Sunday. I start a big week with my work and need to prepare all my tools and so on.

Cheers
John

Not true. I'm at Tremblant right now, there's a crust of hard snow and ice pellets from the rain.

On the 26th I was at the bottom of the mountain having a beer and watching all the rain come down. Everyone was soaked.

There should be more snow before the weekend, have fun

Oh crap, thanks for the update. What's the snow depth so far?

About a foot of snow in the woods. More in the forecast....but not much more

More I think about it, you might wanna wait a week or two before coming. There might not be enough snow yet for backcountry skiing.

There's enough snow for snowmobiling, but the rivers and lakes arn't frozen enough yet.

I got my puppy on New Years eve in 2003. She's a little husky. Her first trip out was at Rigaud on the Escapade.

J'irais pas finalement...j'ai un grand besoin de sommeil. Le temps des fetes a ete dur.

Pas grave puise qu'il ya pas assez de neiges.

Comme bg a dit mieux attendre pour d'autres neiges.

Jarrive de camp Fortune et je l'ai monté en raquette et descendu en board... jpeux pas croire qu'il n'y a pas de neige a tremblant!

Just changed the thread name and did a sticky so we can use this thread for the month.

Ya de la neiges a Tremblant mais il en prend pas mal pour descendre le gros bolle dans le sous bois.

next week-end?

Why not.

If theirs not enough snow in the woods then theirs always the groomed trails after climbing for free.

Edit:
It would have to be on Sunday, have the water pump, timing belt & thermostat to replace on my Honda Civic Saturday.

moi faut que je me trouve des batons...
