We don’t know about you, but ever since we were kids, we’ve often dreamt of putting ourselves in the shoes of a musher… And then three dogs, including two huskies, came into our lives. We moved to Quebec. And in the winter of 2021, we spent the winter in a cabin in the middle of the famous Parc des Appalaches. In short, we had everything we needed to enjoy snow scooters on an almost daily basis… A dream come true!
Long live the snow scooter!
Living in a refuge in the middle of the Parc des Appalaches, the snow scooter quickly became our number 1 means of getting around. Of course, there’s the 9-kilometers Défricheurs trail, which has been specially laid out to provide the best conditions for practicing, but for us, the best thing is to get out and about from our cabin, on the snow scooter trail. Our favourite thing to do is to set off from our hut along the forest tracks, because here our doggies can go anywhere with us.
After a snowfall, we always wait for the snowmobiles to pass so that the snow is well compacted. It’s in these conditions that the sliding is at its best and, above all, the least tiring! We can tell you that we’ve already tried to practice in powder snow, and it’s clearly a lot harder for us and our doggies!
