  1. I spoke with a guy in La Malbaie today and he said there was 20-24" of neige there!! I called a place in Sacre-Couer and was told the same thing, 2' of snow!! She said within 24 hours they would be connected to Mont Valins and TQ3 north was next!! Anybody know anything about this? I wouldn't mind trailering to the casino Sunday!

  2. As usual I had questions about our trip and you guys had all the answered!! This is the most dedicated snowmobile site out there!! I wanna thank you all!! We left Derby Vt 1 pm last Sunday and rode to Shawinigan. Crossed the river at Trois rivieres calling ramp truck from bar 55. Monday rode up 355 to 83 and spent night at Universal in Alma. Tuesday, day 3 to Chibougamau via north of LSJ!! Wednesday rode to Balbuzard Sauvage with the advice of iceman. Great place!! Thursday headed to St Zenon and La Cabanon. Friday, day 6 back to Derby VT taking the ferry to Sorel and headed to border crossing at Bedford Qc/Sheldon Vt. We rode the US side back to Derby. Did 2000 miles in 5 1/2 days and had a great trip!! Only issue was 1 idler wheel on my sled was lost somewhere before Chibougamau. Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions, replies and quick responses!!

  3. We took 55 for quite a while and it was unbelievable! Sunday afternoon and it was fresh groomed!! All of this trip was groomed to perfection except where 355 ended and 83 began. All the way to Alma(50 miles) was terrible!! Next morning we went north at the lake and everything was fresh groomed all the way to Chibougamau!

  4. Last year I "stole" our trip idea from a post in the Cote Nord section that was posted by markusvt!! Up tq3 across Saguenay to Baie Comeau then ferry to Matane and south to RDL. We went opposite way around and did some different overnight stops but basically took his great trip and made it work for us!! We are leaving Derby Vt on sleds Sunday and are not sure where to go on this trip!!! We were thinking Chibougamau and back as I've never been there!! Not sure tho. Been around the Gaspe a time or two but never thru the middle so that's a possibility. Idk?? What do you guys have for suggestions??There's just 2 of us and we aren't afraid to ride long and hard (derby to RDL,464 miles in 11 hrs last year! Twice!!) but don't need 400 mile rides everyday! Leave Sunday and back in Vt Friday-Sunday!! Thanks in advance, Jim

  6. No tickets Eddie!! 2 of those guys are cops and the other a Coast Guard officer. I don't think that sled will be back to Vermont tho. He's gonna leave it at his camp in Presque Isle. After seeing how Vt trails go thru towns and close to homes he understood!! Sounds like your wallet took a big hit at the ballet!!! Never a bad trip just another story to reflect on and laugh!! 2 of us are headed out of Derby next Sunday headed to Chibougamau! Should be an adventure!
