  1. A friend just asked me about staying here. He’s riding with his wife this weekend. I have never been myself, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  2. We have phone numbers for Quebec City crossing but who offers service across at Trois Rivieres? Thanks in advance. Leaving Thetford Mines in 10 mins headed to Delta for tonite then south across river tomorrow.
  3. Don’t miss the sawmill and be prepared to look for someone to open up pump for you! It’s a great run in both directions from Chibougamau
  4. Done this trip a couple times! Morgan VT to Hotel Universal in RDL. 6am-7:30pm 464 miles with a 1 hour lunch break. 100 miles of railbed that only takes an hour!!🤣
  5. Merry Christmas Everyone! Is it possible to ride from the casino to the Delta and north to Valins at the time? Probably end up looping back to the ferry and south down TQ3 back to the Casino if possible. Thanks in advance, Jim
  6. Yesterday we left LaSarre and ended up in Chibougamau around 8:30 with just under 400 miles for the day. Trails were perfect except 50-60 miles thru Amos, very bumpy! We had a friend with us that woke up sick as a dog with the flu this morning so he took a flatbed to Roberval And a buddy from Massachusetts is headed north to get him as we speak. We were hoping he could rejoin us in the morning. The 2 of us went to the Ski Doo dealer in Chibougamau!! Somebody needed. a windshield and mirrors after playing in the powder yesterday!!Left there at 11:30 and headed down 93 to 373 and sitting at Hotel Du Jardins now planning where to go from here. Trails were great today and there's tons of snow!! TONS!!!!
  7. Not sure if we are going into Ontario now. Sitting in Preissac having lunch. Anybody know where of a good place to stay in LaSarre or Amos?? Maybe a cabin or something??
  8. Left Mont Laurier at 9am on nice flat trails and arrived in Val d'or at 9pm on Saturday night trails!!! Lol. Last 15 miles was beat up but it's Saturday!!!good ride!
  9. Anyone gone from Rouyn-Noranda to Timmins recently? Looked on Timmins club for trail conditions and it shows a 60 mile trail in yellow, meaning limited riding. Cant find any discussion on it.
  10. From Mt Laurier to Rouyn-Noranda? Thanks in advance!
  11. We stopped at a small place trail side, 20 minutes before Chibougamau. It had cabins and a little bar/resto. It was run by a woman (60ish) and her husband. She had a pork tenderloin fresh outta the oven that was fantastic!! We stayed at the Nordic. Her husband came back from town as we were suiting up and gave us a full (first hand) review of the talent at the "nightlife" across from the Nordic!! It was -39 when we went to leave the next day and the heated garage was GREAT!!!! Both sleds fired right up!!
  12. I had a starter put in my sled on Tuesday at DRC Motorsports in Alma. They had a 2016 Summit X with 200 kilometers on it that was 12' deep for 3 days! Complete loss but at least nobody died!!! We just finished a 700 mile saddlebag trip and only crossed 1 body of water, the staked river in alma! Purposely we avoided all water! In no hurry to go out falling thru the ice!
  13. Tq3 south of the ferry was 5 star!! Plenty of snow and groomed to perfection almost all the way to the casino!! Just got home to Massachusetts after another great trip!
  14. Went 93 to local trails towards Escoumins. Thanks for your report Scorpionbowl! Those trails were the best yet!!! Stopped at Relais at TQ3. A welcome rest. From here it's TQ3 all the way to the casino
  15. The trail over the Dam behind Onatchiway all the way to Scoobyraid was phenomenal too!! 10/10!! Next stop casino!
  16. Onatchiway! Here's passion!
  17. Valins is 100% ready to ride!! Had an issue with my starter yesterday morning so wasted most of the day getting it replaced and ended up at the Hotel Universal. Headed across 93 and up to Onatchiway. Thin but passable down low but very good after that!! Snowed all day so far!! Spotted a few Sticker too!
  18. Just giving back! More to come
  19. Left the casino and trails were good. 9 miles in we pass a groomer, 5 miles later another groomer! Everything is flat, fast and freshly groomed. Local 54, TQ3 all the way to TQ83. We stayed on 3 to check out the clubhouse but it was closed, still early season up here. Using the GPS we take a local trail that cuts through back to TQ 83 and it's on! Double groomed and fast! I guess that's why Bill calls this the Claremont express! 5 Miles before TQ383 where the Saguenay club takes over it is bumpy but once at 383 it's fresh tracks again! Get to a small bridge and the groomer turns around from there it was bumpy for a while not horrible. Find another relay that is open so decide to eat and rehydrate and what do we see another groomer!! From there to the Delta it got Thinner as we went but was 100% froze up and completely passable do not hesitate if you're thinking about coming up. Today were headed for Valins, not sure where we will end up tonight. Overall conditions are much better than we had hoped for.
  20. Leaving casino on sleds now!! Headed to Delta!! Thanks for the info!
  21. Just crossed border and headed north. Is St Raymond open? Connected to Latuqe? Chicoutimi?? Or just continue to the casino?
