Today 1/31 Matagami to Val-d’or Forestel. To warm 34f. Trails around Amos are hanging on by a thread in places much better towards Valdor but anything near town sucks.

Thanks, Tom will do. Also they rerouted you on the 93 it is not a long boring rail bed the whole way. There was a good 70 miles that was actually fun before it popped back out on the rail bed. It was like this several years ago too. Makes the trip much more fun

We have not seen any trail police the whole trip yet. Do you mean the burned down hotel in Matagami? Gas station is there nothing else. Only one place to eat and it’s right across the street wasn’t bad.

If that picture of the bridge is within the last 24 hours, I would be amazed to see it finished inside of two weeks.

Also it was exactly 40 miles to the “closed” lumber mill that had plenty of people at it and LOTS of logs piled up.

Tonight we are at the Nordic in Chibougamau, marina was full…bummer. The trail up was good and fresh groomed but if a little 80’s style bush scares you then wait because some sections had stubble sticking up. http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_01/IMG_1528.thumb.jpeg.d810bf296a865540d6e11f8d177bf471.jpeg

How much per night? How was their english?
We bought fuel for our sleds and spare cans and you can order whatever for supper but I would say $175 Canadian including breakfast and supper etc…but they gave us a lot of food and put us in a large lodge. English was ok, 3 young guys from France doing the cooking and helping out. Real nice and the cream of onion soup was outstanding!!

That little cabin was at Domain Edouard. Pourviere La Dore is the pic with the Christmas tree. I was going to take some food porn pics for you Chris but I was to hungry!! It is about 15 miles of the 93 north when you pass the power line on the way to Chibougamau, just a white square sign on your left, then it’s a small bush trail for 14km to get here.

Shaw to Lac Edouard was so so. Left Sunday am from Domain Edouard ended up at Pourvorie La Dore tonight awesome place!! Most of 355 was good fields around LSJ ok but warmth will kill them quickly if it happens. 93 was good so far.

Sounds to me it could happen this weekend. Or you need to roll the dice if headed west then through chibougamau back down then reverse it. Guve them the time to get it open on the new route.
i told them i had friends that are very experienced snowmobiler’s and they said it was dangerous as it is . That’s just silly shit there 60km with transport bois. Craziness. Like border being secure that kinds crazy.
I could always just hit the ballet in Rimouski….

Legally open and groomed except the 30 miles that’s plowed and sanded if you like that type of thing.
I’ll bring my KTM and ride that section! Thanks for clarifying will have to rethink my plan… I see there is a 10km section on the 93 past LSQ that is crap also due to hauling the burnt area away.

Direct from Alliance du Nord
Thank you for your interest in our trail. Trucks will be on the trail all season long, covering 60 km.
I must confess that we are currently looking at changing the track completely in collaboration with the forestry company. You will have all the information this weekend on the Facebook club alliance du nord 2.0
It’s unfortunate moving the track wasn’t considered before 1/25ish so the surfers could be on the move.

Wes are you talking about from the 13 south junction outside of town towards Clova ?
has been shit in recent years until you get 10-15 miles out. They should build a new trail if they are going to continously plow that road. Wait till someone gets creamed by a logging truck and see what happens with Intact Insurance. Will make the Rouyn-Noranda incident seem like nothing.
Hope your having a BLAST regardless !!!!!!
Wrong Pipe guy Chris! but I appreciate it and hopefully see you this winter

13s out of Clova is perfectly fine, groomed the whole way. He is talking about 83 W. out of Parent towards Clova. There are 30 miles plowed and sanded . Loaded logging trucks that want to kill you. Trail should definitely not have been opened.
So if I take 13 north to 83 and hang a left to go west to Clova that is all normal, correct? Thank you👍

Apparently this situation is getting deep. The ZEC here in question Well it’s more the people who use it in winter. They are charged winter fees by the ZEC and they want those fees abolished or they will block the trails.
Hearing the TQ 23 could be cut Feb 1 (st ray to l’Etape) that is the deadline given by users of the ZEC for the board of the ZEC to act on abolishing fees.
tha ville and club are trying to avoid the economic disaster closing TQ23 would cause.stay tuned
Dang! That would really suck

Yes and as always the answer is “follow the money”. Who is put in position of power is crucial…most just follow along.
