Such a beautiful shoreline. Thank you

Currently on the Magdalen Islands of Quebec. Beautiful. And the Best Ice Cream. Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine Drone Videos

I would run the groomer for them if I lived there. I run our local groomer in Nova Scotia, we never seem to get much snow anymore and usually only lasts 3-4 weeks when we do get it. It would be awesome up in that area where the can easily have 5'- 6' of snow!

maybe they are getting a new surfacer too? Hoping for the best for this. Just remember the club there is working with some old iron to suface those trails. They get worked hard. Lots of snow. This trail will be very popular the first season it reopens. Gonna require alot of grooming.

When I drove by there 3 weeks ago they were working on the highway bridge! LOL

That is great news! The trail between LaCache and Murdochville is super essential to any good ride in the Gaspe. Any news on the cable supports that were compromised at Rivierre Madeline last season causing the need for a shuttle?

Sounds like 2 years was long enough to get all the red tape satisfied...for 1 bridge....imagine how long those poor people in Texas are going to have to wait after this flood

July 12, 2025 "Opening of the Chic-Choc trail for the 2025-2026 season! The project to open the Chic-Choc trail between the Relais de La Cache and Murdochville is progressing well and the prospects are increasingly positive! The Murdochville Star Snowmobile Club will have the responsibility of maintaining the trail, including installing signage, clearing the trail, and performing other essential tasks. The club is currently looking for volunteers and Surface Operators to join the team! If you are interested in contributing to this exciting project, please contact Club President, Steeven Grannan, at 418-355-7777. We can't wait to see you on the trails! "

Started early for some of us also !

Plenty of snow last season, and the season went WAY WAY long.

Yeah and thats one way all downhills try going up on skis sled you can do both ups and downs much more for the money however the ski mountains do make the snow if needed. They got that figured out. we have to wait for mother nature

Yes I now see it was for 2024, my brain did not seem to register the years quoted in the chart 2024-2025 and not 2025-2026. Thank's for clearing it up for me.

After looking at all those empties....I realize that I'd be getting off easy buying your dinner...truthfully I like to look at things proactively ...rather than re-actively...we aren't doing so well with the reactive things in this sport

It is great to hear you say this Bob. Hopefully we can meet up some evening during the winter. I will let buy my supper just to make you feel better. LOL !! I would like to know the numbers breakdown, how many permits are sold to riders from other provinces, and how many are to riders from the USA? I am betting those numbers would be fairly significant.

I was trying to cut/past the english version for 25/26, but got the 24/25 chart by mistake. Just checking to see if anyone is still watching 😉 Here is the english 25/26. For the last few years they do let you dummy in the VIN if you don't have your new sled information yet, but then they charge you $40CAN to get a new card when you have the proper VIN.

Unless I am reading something wrong, the price for antique is $325 for the upcoming season.

Antique is considered 2005 or older. If Quebec is like Ontario there are quite a few locals and young guys riding older sleds as there trail sled. That fact may have been part of the pricing decision.

Yup. I am more than willing to pay. I just don't want anymore preventable unfounded trail closures.

I'm not promoting higher prices...but ..when I buy out of state hunting and fishing licenses to use some other state or countries resources...I always have to pay more than the local residents do...and I understand that...for a sport that is facing escalating costs and labor to maintain status quo...it puzzles me to understand how and why non residents are not charged a higher rate for access to what we all consider the very finest trial system on the planet. At this point everyone understands what it costs to operate and maintain this sport we all love ...and the last thing we want to do is financially operate like a government ...AKA...in the red...we all know that's the day it's over...and we don't want to go there...nothing wrong with having a little money in the bank

At 30 percent exchange...this season pass for US riders is one of the best deals on the planet...unless we get a reciprocal tariff added on...which I would completely understand...hell a day of skiing is 300 dollars these days ...

The chart posted above 12 hours ago is for this past season. @iceman reported on 31 May 2025 that proposition 2 was adopted for the 2025-2026 season....

This price chart is not even close to any of the three proposed ones, where did they get it if no one voted for it? The 325$ proposed price for antique category is now 400$ that is a big difference. I like the 415$ for the Oct 1st category tho!

The paddler has arrived home. she is having problems signing on to QR i will try to help her get it sorted. for Kayak Rentals she gave me two spots https://natureaventure.ca/hebergement-matapedia/ https://cimeaventure.com/ She recommended the second one strongly they are well organized with shuttles to bring you up river and it’s gorgeous scenery surely a nice stop on a spyder ride.
