Has anyone had to make a claim through insurance for damage caused by hitting a rock? Not sure yet what the dollar value of the claim is yet, but it is definately in the 1000's if not a total write off. Sled looks good until to look underneath at the cracks in aluminum castings and belly pan, broken a arm, bent parts, possibly bent tunnel etc. Were they fair with you?

Yes, four days. We were there 2 weeks ago and in the morning it was freezing rain and a group that had 4 rooms booked decided to trailer to next destination further north and they made a deal that they would cancel and only had to pay for one room rather that 4.

I was at Bazinet s couple weeks ago and the night we stayed a snowmobile was stolen from in front of one of the cabins. It was literally almost right on the front porch. When the police were called they said they would be out to file a report but may be a while because there were many that night. This is not old news or hearsay. It is very common

We have stayed there many times. Yes they have a secure spot with a gate that gets closed at night. we havent had a problem. We really like this place for their food, gourmet. The only thing it lacks is a bar / lounge type area to sit around and visit or have a cocktail if you are into that. Overall very nice place.

Part of our trip is from Delta Saguany over to Auberge 31. It is not a big mileage day, was hoping to take in some scenery as we have never been north of the river in the Valin area. Any "must see's" ?? I have seen "blueberry fields" mentioned, is this something to see? And where is it? Thank you, Sledzz

Just heard of a stolen sled from the back of a truck, with a trailer on behind, in a locked compound in the St. Zenon area. How does this happen without people seeing it or help from someone within?? What do you use to lock up your snowmobiles? or is it even worth it?

And if you click on a specific location on a trail it gives you the exact time the groomer drove over that part of the trail.

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has stayed in the yurts at Imago Village in Mont Valin. Is it very rustic? Also see they have a bar / restaurant in a big yurt as well/ Any feedback on it would be appreciated. Thanks

Many of you are saying "be flexible" - Are the hotels / motels generally easy to accommodate you if you are delayed a day due to weather / breakdown. Do they nail you for cancellation and are rooms usually available if you must delay a day last minute?

Thanks guys, I have the Linq bags and was reluctant to subject the cpap machine to the jarring while on bumpy trails. Sounds like it wont be a problem! I will just make sure it is well wrapped. Yes, even if I am without it one night I am exhausted. Doesn't make the trip to enjoyable without sleep. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers

Does anyone carry their CPAP machine for sleep apnea on overnight saddlebag trips? If so, how do you pack it? Kind of a weird question but I try and go without it but dont get much sleep. Thanks

Thanks Iceman. Happy trails and new year!

I am trying to call the FCMQ but all the messages are in french and i dont understand french and I am assuming the office is closed due to the holiday. I was wondering if I purchase an annual trail permit online and it doesnt get to me through the mail before i leave, can i just bring proof of purchase and show that when stopped? Appreciate any feedback provided.

Any feedback on Paourvoires Du Lac Repos? How are the rooms and the food in the restaurant? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Anyone been north of St Raymond on 73 then 355 North to Lac Bouchette yet? Grooming map hasnt been updated. Just wondering if the system is down or any local real time feedback?

Looking for feedback on the Real Masse Lodge near St. Zenon. Seems to be the only place i can find right now with availability. How is the food and rooms?

Can I buy one on amazon?

Auberge Eva on Lac Bouchette is nice and food is good.

Get the app Imotoneige - it is pretty accurate

I also recommend Auberge Vieux Moulin, Nice rooms and delicious food. My only wish for the place is a bar / social area.

Left Auberge Drakkar in Shawinigan up to Auberge Eva for one night in Lac Bouchette up and around and down to Club Odanak for one night north of Latuque and back down to Roqmount for one night in St. Raymond and back across to Drakkar. All trails were dynamite with the usual bumpy sections leading up to rivers / water crossings and thin snow in and around urban areas. We broke trail coming down 73 on Friday with up to a foot on new snow. Two thumbs up to Reggie at Drakkar, clean large rooms, secure parking, good breaky, and very accommodating. Auberge Eva also 2 thumbs up with large clean new rooms and delicious food and cold beer on site and Roqmount also very good and convenient with clean rooms, secure sled parking and good food and cold beer on site.

oh great! Supposed to be there tonight. Hope the battery croaks before we get there

Supposed to head up 355 from Drakkar toward Lac Bouchette but the map shows that it hasnt been groomed all week which seems odd?? This trail is usually groomed every few days. Has anyone been on it today or yesterday? Thought maybe the groomer beacon to update isnt working.... Thank you

Yes, we had ours changed and there was no cost to us. GM did the upgrade for free.

I have Drakkar booked for a couple of nights and also Club Odanak. What do those that stay at Drakkar do for dinner? Any good restaurants / pubs close by? And does anyone have experience with Club Odanak? Thank you
