| This was a first-time Quebec trip for me
so this photo-narrative is from the perspective of a newbie
to Quebec but also from a snowmobiler with 30-years
experience. Most of this has been written to be
enjoyed by those with no snowmobiling experience whatsoever.
The mildly curious are the perfect audience !
This activity is called "saddle-bagging" in
sled jargon. Try to fit a week's worth of clothes into
a few small bags. You'll see no hot-roding kids here as
most participants are either retirees or those who have
committed a vacation week to the journey.
Most sleds seen here will be of the newer
4-stroke engine variety which means low noise, very low
emissions and double the gas mileage. Welcome to
the hidden world of long distance winter RV-ing... |
