St Zenon Trip
Club members Art Dages, Reggie Orr, Skip Wallace, Ward Nebel, and Tony Amenta made the decision to travel north to find snow and spent several days this past week at Real Masse in St Zenon in Quebec. St Zenon is located approximately 2 hours north of Montreal and is a east coast mecca for snowmobiling. Real Masse is a resort that caters to snowmobilers and is one of the most secure places to stay in all of Quebec.
Conditions were excellent and snow depths exceeded 5 feet. Skip Wallace found the snow to be waist deep when he stepped off the groomed trail.
The group went on a couple of long rides including a 235 mile loop to the Maurice region which included 30 mile run on a frozen river.
