Fudge, I miss a lot of things here...
Sorry for the lack of posts/ delays of response, etc... so busy on the job + on our website...
But thanks for the thoughts... effectively, they got enough snow, in the laurentians park (where the average elevation of the road is over 2500' high) and it's a winter climate from mid october to mid may.
Funnily, it's just a few miles north of Quebec city...
