Some pics from our SxS trip to Quebec the past week. Unloaded in Rivierre Mattawin, first day to Meekos. Second day,coffee in Rabaska, beer in Notawissi, another beer in Fer Cheval, and evening at 100 Lacs. Day three rode big roads to Parent and evening at Barrage Gouin. Day 4 down to Relais 22 in the TQ 83 to Windigo by noon. Awesome day sipping drinks and riding around in one of their outboards. Saturday night at Windigo is Wing Night, people landed by boat, truck, and ATV from all over the Resevoir for drinks and wings. Day 5 rode big roads back to the truck, stopped at Desmarais Pourvoirie on the way by. 1200km/750mi in 5 days. Great time, very cool to see some of these places in the summer.

A Very Happy Glorious Fourth to all of our American neighbours from the Hill & Gully Riders/Les Voyageurs des Collines et Ravins!

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian Friends.

from Club Motoneige St Raymond Hello snowmobilers In collaboration with the Town of St Raymond and the fire department (first responder), the Club de Motoneige St Raymond has installed markers every 5 km along trail 23 (St Raymond/L'Étape) to facilitate location and reduce waiting time for an emergency response. These markers are connected to a GPS point. SAFETY is always a priority for the club.

Fusion Dear members of the Guillaume Tell snowmobile club, We are pleased to announce that our club is in the process of merging with the Sainte Béatrix snowmobile club. After several fruitful meetings, the Boards of Directors of both clubs have unanimously decided to pursue and finalize this process by September. We are delighted to confirm that the club's name will remain Guillaume Tell. As part of this merger, our club will now be responsible for the marking and maintenance of the new trails, which will be integrated into the existing Guillaume Tell network. This initiative will not only expand our trail network, but will also increase our total mileage, making us more eligible for subsidies from the Fédération des clubs motoneigistes du Québec and/or for the renewal of our equipment. We'll keep you informed as soon as all the administrative formalities have been completed. In the meantime, we encourage you to take full advantage of the summer to recharge your batteries and get ready to make the most of our wonderful hobby as soon as the season permits. .If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us via our Facebook page or by e-mail at communication@clubmotoneigeguillaumetell.com. We look forward to this new phase with you all. Yours sincerely

Awesome ride. I have never been on a trip that covered so many outfitters. You definitely get bonus points for the boat ride on the river before wing night. The sunrise and sunset there are hard to beat no matter the season.

Update The Parc régional des Grandes Rivières du lac Saint-Jean is taking the bull by the horns to protect the infrastructure of its Passerelle du 49e quad and snowmobile tourist circuit. An action plan has been drawn up to protect the 9 footbridges that cross the area's rivers. "The plan involves adding physical barriers, possibly gates, combined with a camera surveillance system. We also plan to set up a surveillance network with the community. This action plan will also be complemented by communication initiatives to raise public awareness of the importance of these gateways," says Dominique Gobeil, General Manager of the Parc régional des Grandes Rivières. Dominique Gobeil also stresses the importance of preserving these facilities, which greatly facilitate access to the Maria-Chapdelaine area. "The Passerelle du 49e is an investment in sustainable development. We want to generate wealth, see our living environments become more dynamic and enable the rural municipalities in the area to maintain local services. It's a major draw for the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. It represents several million dollars in economic spin-offs for our region," adds the general manager. Vandalism This initiative follows a series of acts of vandalism perpetrated over the past year on some of the circuit's footbridges. On May 11, an arson fire broke out on the footbridge in the ZEC Rivière-aux-Rats sector near Notre-Dame-de-Lorette after a driver heated his tires on the wooden surface. A complaint was filed with the SQ and the investigation is currently underway. "Following an analysis, it was concluded that the damage to the footbridge does not represent a total loss. On a 72-metre infrastructure, 25% of the bridge deck was rendered inoperable by this act of vandalism," says Dominique Gobeil, General Manager of the Parc des Grandes Rivières du lac Saint-Jean. While the steel structure was fortunately unaffected by the flames, the repair costs will nonetheless amount to $100,000. Work will start in the next few weeks, and Dominique Gobeil hopes to have it completed by Labour Day.

Indeed. Also, as I always say, a GPS is nice, but one should have, and know how to use an M-A-P....

The VTT trails need to be paved. wonder if this guy has a trail pass?

maybe more roads for windmills could equal more trails? Beautiful area to alter forever with this project. some happy some not it seems. your thoughts? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/hydro-quebec-wind-power-project-1.7254233

Steve you two are my absolute idols WHAT a spectacular report and trip !!!!! thanks, I think LOL

Nice trip. Your SxS looks sharp!

Can't wait to see the GPS tracks ! LOL

Such a neat deal! Places that we all know about. Thank you

That's cool. Thanks for sharing.

I believe there is no trail number on the map since it is a local trail. It had been removed from the map when the problem bridges were found but was put back on the map a month ago or more. Logic would dictate that the problems are repaired but I have some doubts. You could try calling the Relais Du La Cache at (581) 886-5455 to find out. If you find out what is happening please post it

Another promotion on the way...a new job!!

You have to be kidding!

Yes when OPM.... dried up ...it was over...OTHER PEOPLES MONEY... AKA TAX DOLLARS

The End After 50 million of public money, Taïga Motors suspends its operations!

Matagami does not say when A great evening of presentations last night to announce the construction of a 76-room hotel with meeting room, pool and fitness center. A very important piece in Matagami's long-term economic future!

One of my most memorable ride was on the 386. My kid , my nephew and another you who I think of as one of my kids started in Swisha one morning heading for Val d'or. When we got to LA Verendryd the the boy that is like one of my own, Jimmy, was all smiles and raved about the trail we just rode. At the time the 63 was open to the east as well as to the west. I was reading for weeks about how great the 63 was so I told Jimmy wait for the next section on 63 to 386 north. He said no way. We'll it was smooth and wonderful. Bigger smile when we got to 386. I had also read about the 386 north being in the best condition of any trail in the west. So I had to tell him to be prepared and of course he said no way again. We started up the trail and about 10 miles in we met some riders on the trail stopped heading South. When they seen us coming they all lined up and gave us the thumbs up and the huge smiles on there faces told they hole story. What a days ride we had. We still talk about that ride. Them days you never forget.

BIG project. There will certainly be a lot of push back. I would imagine that it will take a while to get approved and implemented. $9 Billion will certainly affect rate payers (Quebec tax payers)..

Hard to know ... Sure covers a lot of our "Fun" Zone

I have called for other questions and during business hours have been able to speak english to a very helpful lady, just cannot remember her name.

Thanks Iceman

I sent an email to the club a couple days ago. If/when I get a reply I’ll post their response.

I would say someone or maybe a couple SS will be going home.

Major security failure. A shooter from an elevated position well within range. Someone got some explaining to do. Never should have happened.

Had an amazing meal at Meekos, Kelly took a picture of her plate, I laughed and said we should send you the pic! LOL

The coffin is out, loaded, cover on and nails inserted. The only step remaining is lowering it into the ground...........

Train Wreck for all to see. Should have stayed in the basement.

In reality, it was over before it started.

10-4 or dix-quatre. just call out in english each KM. “Crazy Americans northbound looking for fish” what could go wrong

You should never go out there without a radio so you don't meet up with one of these trucks at a bridge...most everyone knows this...these guys are very lucky
