Wonderful staff. Just did a ride with green mountain snowmobile tours…read moreGot to say had a lot of fun. The machines are fast and comfortable. The staff is pretty nice. It is a little pricey but well worth the tour Pros. Great ride through the beautiful mountains towards stowe. What an amazing ride. Cons. If there are any I would say that it's way to quick,I wish it could have been an hour and half. My kids loved it. One of my kids was able to ride with the guide. Which is great since I have two 11 year olds. Also did see some younger kids with our group. Note the only reason I gave it four is because it's only an hour. We had a blast

We did a 4hr day tour with a really nice guy (im sorry I forgot your name!) and he took us out all…read moreover the place. We met at the Sterling Ridge Inn/Resort which also looked really nice. He went over the machine (brand new, great shape) with my boyfriend to make sure we knew what we were doing. Started off into the woods.The terrain changed from hilly to flat to OH MY GOD hold on! ( In a fun way! ) I was smiling the whole time. We saw around 30-40? deer, which was great, and they just stopped and looked at us wondering what we were doing in their forest. He stopped a few times to make sure we were doing ok, and to see where we wanted to go next because like he said "it's your tour". He gave us a couple options and we could decide, which was really considerate. He never got too far ahead of us so he always knew we were ok. He didn't go too fast which was great because it made us feel like we could didn't have to speed to keep up with him. It was just what we wanted. Obviously on the straight-aways you go faster and that's great as well. If we needed to stop for food or bathroom we could do that as well. And he took our pic in front of the mountainside. Over all it was a great trip and would love to do it again.

This is the only fitness center in the area. The next closest is 7 mi. in Morrisville (Snap…read moreFitness). This will be mainly to review the resistance training amenities. For a university gym, it's a bit lacking. It has 1 barbell bench, 1 bb incline bench, 1 power cage, a smith machine, and a leg press (see pictures provided). I was curious as how a gym with one BB bench would be able to manage the demand for this popular item. And to my surprise, it does. The most patrons I have ever seen in the weight room was about 5. On average, there is 1-2 people. (this considering it is 6-8pm during December) I am not sure how crowded it gets during the day. There is only 1 standard 7' olympic bar (usually on the bench press). The other olympic bars are 5/6' and from what I've read 35lbs rather than 45lbs. There is also a hex bar that is usually left on the floor with plates still loaded on. The dumbells only go up to 100lbs and the adjustable benches are quite elevated and have an obnoxious leg hold down pads that seems to get in the way more than it helps. Parking isn't too bad at night. There is visitor parking and since this is mainly a commuter school, it is pretty empty after class hours. Here is a list of other items available: Adjustable Cable machine Machine shoulder press Lat pulldown machine Machine chest press Lying Hamstring curl Leg extension Peck Deck Fly (really awkward arm angle) Captains Chair Machine Row Preacher curl bench Decline situp bench

The Fair of Saint-Hyacinthe is the biggest agricultural festival in Quebec. Lasting ten days,…read moreusually at the end of july/first week of august, it boasts more than 1800 animals, hundreds of activities and kiosks, carnival rides, all kinds of shows and draws over 180,000 visitors every year. Following the definition of summer fun, there is something for everyone. This is my third visit and I definitely recommend it if you are fan of festivals, animals, food and a little country flare. For anyone who lives in the city, this is a great way to get away and learn a bit about livestock, farm life and the equipment used in the production of our food. You can visit a birthing center and see little piglets or chicks, watch milking of cows or shearing of sheep and there are ample animal judging competitions throughout the day. If you are a fan of big tractors, trucks and machinery -antiques or new, you'll find it here too. The site itself is very spacious as there is a mix of indoor (air conditionned) pavillions and outdoor entertainment, along with concert stages and stadiums to witness the different shows. We particularly like the demolition derby or tractor pulls. Included in the cost of your entrance(20$ for adults, or cheaper if you purchase online in advance), you get access to all facilities, shows and unlimited rides. The fair is located in a neighborly suburb, you may find free parking in the streets however this fills up fast. There are also paid parking lots belonging to the fair. In previous years, we were able to park at the hospital right next door for a very low fee however this year many security personel were garding the entrance. Best tip is to arrive early, and if possible obviously come on a weekday instead of the weekend as this fair becomes an extremely popular attraction and gets crowded quickly. As with many big attractions, this fair does have more of a "commercial" vibe, with sponsors like Bank of Montreal and other big giants, you'll notice some of the kiosks do not sell handmade arts and crafts as one would expect at an agricultural fair, but are advertising products and services. This can still be fun though as with all times I went, Dodge Ram was showcasing their trucks and gave free gas cards. One year Jean Coutu was there handing out goodie bag and Oasis juice was serving the thirsty for free. The sponsors are your opportunity to snag free samples. The only drawback for me is the lack of unique food options that I come to expect at fairs, from watching American food carnival shows. There is mostly poutine, burgers, hot dogs, pizza and sandwiches. You will not find deep fried oreos, giant monster creations or wild concoctions in St-Hyacinthe - the choices are boring and expensive. There is a kiosk for fresh smoothies and fruits and vegetables if you want a healthier option. I recommend the delicious mini donuts made on the spot and an indoor kiosk selling flavored curd cheese. If you'd rather eat before or after the fair, in the surrouding area there is a cheese factory/restaurant by the name of "Qualité Summum" that offers delicious fresh cheese and anything you can make with it, including stuffed crust pizza. Mark the Saint Hyacinthe Expo on your to do list, especially if you have kids as this will be the highlight of the summer.
