    No I completely understand your question....and I too misunderstood what we were buying in Quebec...we are buying a trail pass...not a registration...so if you are not registered else where...you are operating unregistered....if you have insurance state side ...you can provide that and lower the cost of the trail pass....but they want you registered somewhere....they don't really care where you live...I have used registrations from Ma, NY, and NH over the years...depending on where I have been riding

    "we are buying a trail pass...not a registration"  Now that makes sense. Thank you QB

    I have never had anyone question my registration in New Hampshire...I have a boat that I use only in New Hampshire...so I also register it there and not in Mass. Seems like the right thing to do if I am using it there...you can always transfer it to a mass registration in the future.

    Bob, I think you misunderstood my question.  I'm riding in Quebec and of course have a Quebec registration with included insurance.  Over the course of many years riding in QC, on occasion, unfortunately, we've been stopped on the trail and and they always request to see both my QC reg paperwork as well as a local registration from the state I live in. If I'm NOT going to ride in the state where I live, I prefer not to register. Why do the Quebec officials want to see my NH or MA or CT registration as well as the QC reg? If it's to prove I own the sled can't I simply show my Certificate of Origin? If it's to insure I have insurance, can't I simply show my insurance certificate?

    As a resident of the States, why do the Quebec authorities care if my sled is registered in my home state? They do, because I've been asked for it. I don't ride at home at all, so it's just a wasted fee that goes up each year. This year it's $150. which is not insignificant.

    If it's a proof-of-ownership question, which is understandable, can I simply show my passport and the sled's Proof of Origin  -instead of registering in the states? (Of course along with my Quebec Registration)

    Thanks everyone.

    Sorry to say, the MUST SEEs are the Rt5 trail you are not going on. Best views are on the St Lawrence.

    I was going to say the same thing. That section of 5 from Petite Vallee to St Anne Des Monts is quite possibly the nicest trail in all of Quebec. Lots of snow, incredible views of the St Lawrence river and fun elevation changes with switchbacks.

     

  8. Best Hotels in Val-d’Or and Amos

    What is your favourite places to stay in the Val-d’Or and Amos area? 

    Forestal in Val-d’Or would be my first choice. Clean and modern with a great restaurant. Also, its right on the main drag. 

    You may want to make a reservation if you can. I guess there are a lot of hockey tournaments in this region and if you happen to be there on a weekend or holiday week you may be out of luck.

    Did I say nice restaurant? Yes indeed.

  18. Gear bag

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I use a NorthFace waterproof duffel. 31L Very rugged, and guaranteed.  I can carry a weeks-worth of the essential clothes. A smaller-ish bag also forces me to carry less and keep the weight down. I'm getting too old to dig this thing out.  To secure duffel to the sled, I use motorcycle-type cargo bungies. $10 for 2 on Amazon they wont' freeze up like other straps and a very secure. They allow me to also stuff things under them when not needed, like my gauntlets.  It could be a little bit larger, but I'm living with it. Pictures aren't great, but may help. 

     

  21. Gaspe trail grooming

    in Gaspe Peninsula

    Posted

    Does anyone have an update on grooming operations in eastern Gaspe? We're in Riviere-au-ren , just outside Gaspe and the TQ5  hasnt been groomed and according to the fcmq map it looks like all trails east and south haven't been groomed in more than 72 hours.  It's not good at all. On the other hand everything West of cap chat was outstanding. Any insight as to what may be going on in eastern Gaspe would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  24. Sept Isles

    in Cote Nord

    Posted

    8Epic adventure in the books. 2325 mi in 10 days. 965 mi during first 4 days in Abitibi, (Fontbrune, Club Trout, Lac Fallion, 100 Lacs, Fontbrune) then trailered to Baie St Paul . Rode east with  nights in Forestville,  Port Cartier and Harve St Pierre -both up and back.  With  exception of the last few mi returning to BSP on Sunday afternoon, conditions were fantastic for 1360 mi. IMO this region competes with the North shore of Gaspe for variety of trails and scenery but with less traffic. As I said we lucked out with sun and fresh snow the entire trip....however...the last 100 miles heading into HSP -knowing what i do now- i wouldnt attempt in a snowstorm or heavy wind. Miles and miles of elevation with no vegetation,  navigating stake to stake through the drifting snow and sharp, off-canter turns. 

    If you like Gaspe (and who doesn't???) you should put Cote Nord on the list... Now if I can only figure how to post pics 

  25. Sept Isles

    in Cote Nord

    Posted

    Livin large in Havre St Pierre! Ken and Owen's excellent adventure continues with a 202 mi run today finishing at Hotel du Harve in light snow. Some of the nicest terrain and views we've ever ridden in Quebec. Why don't more people ride Cote Nord???  Conditions and weather have been mostly ideal since we left Baie St Paul 3 days ago, warm and sunny with lots of snow. However, north of Sept Isles is nowhere I'd want to ride in weather or wind. Wide open mostly,  following stake to stake across a moonlike landscape working feverishly to keep the sled in the center of the trail. Failure left or right  means certain digging out of a ditch -or worse (and if your riding buddies are anything like mine, you won't be allowed to forget:). 

    Of course this means we have to do it all again starting tomorrow. Havre St Pierre to Port Cartier to Forestville to Baie St Paul, and did I say its snowing?? The adventure continues.....
