Day two promised to be just as great as the first! Today.. flurries.. no wait! LOTS AND LOTS OF beautiful snow!!! The expression- the sky is puking... comes to mind...
We drove from the lodge to Evasion Sport in Chicoutimi to meet up with Steve,(yamaha) Nancy Donnelly (tourisme saguenay-lac-st-jean)and the President of the Snowmobile club, for our day of riding...
Denis was not going to be joining us today, but he has a great location, friendly helpful staff and services to any make and model just incase you need to get back on the trails quick!!
READY SET ....RIDE!
Our starting point for our ride to L'Anse Saint-Jean, was Rivière-Éternité. Since 1988, the tiny village of Rivière Éternité , has held an annual international exhibition of Christmas crèches.
From mid-November to mid-January, this exhibition displays artistic works and collective projects of three different kinds.At Rivière-Éternité, huge granite walls carved by once roving glaciers stand some 300 m tall...
... and plunge 276 metres into the obscure waters of the Saguenay Fjord.
The trails here were just as amazing as the previous day... this time we were treated to some tighter, twistier trails.. but still very very wide trails
Look up.. WAYYYY up!
I only wish the day was a little bit sunnier so we could have seen the view of the Fjords!I think another visit is FOR SURE on the list!!! ;)
also with the ice just getting solid the "fishing villages" on the fjords weren't all set up yet.. they apparently have everything out there, huts, convinience stores.. hotels anyone!?
All this riding and scenery was making me hungry! and Luke and Kyle Cranky! ;) Lunch STOP!
okay late late lunch!! it was nearly 4pm! Time really flies when you are enjoying your ride! Luckily we were near the end of our ride... and L'Est Anse Ciel served us up some fantastic snack.. HA! snack.. more like 5 meals in one!!! the boys named their Tortiere - MEAT INJECTION! I think they got through most of it! Certainly they don't believe in small meals!!
But wait.. what would a trip with lots of snow.. massive snow drifts and banks without a "digout"
nope not yours truly.... LUKE!!! I saw this beautiful sidehill , and thought to myself.. ooo that looks like fun.. but we've been riding all day... it's been a good trip.. naw.. leave it prestine.. then from out of nowhere i see this little blob out of the corner of my eye! WOW Nice one Luke!!! perfect sidehill.. oo wait no , no no!!! ya.. end result.. couple minutes of diggin.. sorry Luke i could only get my camera out AFTER the Beautiful sidehill shot had passed...
Onwards to where we will rest our heads tonite.. Les Gites du Fjord, Located in L'Anse Saint-Jean. We were so late arriving that we had to miss the most anticipated stop of the ENTIRE TRIP!!! hence I will be making it back out.. maybe an entire trip around Edouard Les Bains!!!
It looks soo inviting!!!
The evening at Les Gites des Fjords was fantastic..the Snowtrax Crew even CRASHED the Christmas Party! HA!
Thanks so much for having us!!!
To sum up our trip to Saguenay-Lac-St.-Jean region..
C'était une magnifique expérience! Je suis inquiet de rendre et monter plus de pistes de motoneige immaculées!
Grâce à chacun pour avoir l'équipage snowtrax!
