Perfect!
Sometimes, it is OK for things to be less than OK. We have, in our minds, an unrealistic expectation.
We think everything ought to be perfect. If it isn't, we figure we must be doing something wrong.
But we live on a planet where nothing is without fault. Nothing.... and nobody !
What counts, in the end, is not how you manage to make things right.
It's how you manage to live with the fact that some things will always be a bit wrong.
Second day we rode to KM 31 on Mt. Valin...Very remote complex completely self powered...Got a foot of snow Tuesday night...

Broke trail all day Wednesday, over 100 miles of no tracks at all, very glad I had GPS or we would still be there, there was much more than a foot in places. My sled was completely covered with snow many times...

Thursday was sunny lots of big drifts the 1200's had some trouble in the drifts, I am sure better skis would have helped...
OK enough already I am getting tired of breaking trail, at least it was sunny and bright...

Very Nice. Glad to see you had a good time.
Yep that's me and my wife on the Double up sleds with the kids....
10 miles with the kids are more memorable then 100 with friends!!
I missed a turn rode up here turned around and back down with no problem, maybe 3 - 4 feet deep there. The 800 e tec renegade finally ran like a top.
A look back down a typical pole line run...

Misplaced my camera for a few days so photos stopped...we rode to Albertville to a Gathering of some Quebec Rider friends. I met Shane there, about 35 of us had a good time. Then made our way to Quebec city took a flat bed truck across the St Lawrence and on back to Shawinigan. It was an great adventure, could have run more miles but it was great anyway. Did just a bit over 1,500 miles in 8 days. All the deep snow really slowed us down. If you have a fear of heights this bridge might not be for you...
