Join a snowmobile club
There's still alot of grizzled old guys involved with the snowmobiling clubs, and their wisdom in all matters is priceless, but what will we do when they're gone? They have been working as volounteers for years, dealing with government officials, local land owners, and snowmobile organizations. Their experience and knowledge is irreplaceable. We need to encourage the younger riders to attend the committee meetings at the local club house, and realize that there is more to snowmobiling than having your day on the trails. It is a complex sport that relies on thousands of volounteers to keep it rolling. The youth have to step up to the plate. So, start with hot dogs and beer over a fire somewhere. The youth like beer! Hahaha. Invite the younger guys and gals to come out and cut brush or instal a new culvert, or build a small bridge over a wet spot. They can get their whole family out into the bush and work. Then when the winter comes and they ride through that bit of trail, they will take pride in it and feel a sense of ownership. The new friends they make while volounteering with the club, will keep the attraction going. Families working together towards a common goal is a rare thing now-a-days, and a good thing. Imagine being out in the woods with a chain saw on your atv with your teenagers, working side by side on a cool project, out in the fresh air. This is good family fun, and a time for bonding. It sure beats the hell out of working out in a gym somewhere, or worse yet, sitting on the couch playing some lame video game. zw
The snowmobile quebec website zenwaiter.com was created to give snowmobile riders traveling to Quebec to ride, information for all areas including St Zenon, Lac St Jean , Val Dor, Gaspe, St Michele, Latuque, Shawinagan, Quebec City and many other places in between. Snowmobile Quebec has become a major winter sport over the past 30 years and riding the 30,000 km of groomed trails has become very popular with American snowmobilers. one of the hardest things to find is accurate snow and trail conditions, especially early in the year, Our goal is to get the trail and snow conditions direct from Quebec snowmobilers and American riders that go out and get the trail reports first hand, we also ride snowmobiles in Quebec and usually start riding as soon as there is snow, Mt Valin, Val Dor, Lac St Jean, St Zenon, Wherever the snow is in the trail we go to ride quebec, There is a lack of quebec trail information especially on tour loops and area connection. we will be reporting our findings as well as that of others who wish to provide it, we have some locals in all areas of Quebec that will be working with us to get the snow and trail conditions for Quebec riders as early in the season as possible and direct them to the area in canada that has snow and more importantly connections for riders who snowmobile tour in Quebec. Most riders that go to snowmobile Quebec early in the year usually ride local to these areas and are afraid to venture out for the reasons mentioned, A lack of trail and snow information in other linking areas,. I hope to try and help this information pipeline for the trail system of the province of Quebec and provide Americans with more riding information so they can feel better about moving around to different areas.
