    Hey Groomer!

    Does the sale price include the terrain or is it leased from the gov't and is just the business for sale?

    Nice place always busy sure is less traffic for sure compared to a few years back

    But There are always riders up in that area.

    I agree summer must not be as good for business as the sleds

  3. la tuque !!

    in Mauricie-Centre du Québec

    Yes I agree Club Odanak was a great stop stayed there a few times. The owner who lost his son had come from Africa to Quebec not sure if he was from Quebec or France. Was a much different place once he was gone, and the new owners took over. With the closure of 347 it was game over. It's a Shame but without the 347 or an access trail that is groomed their fate is sealed not sure if 347 will ever be restored. This new trail 73 maybe will be what they need to make a comeback. We shall see. I will stop there. If it's open and accessible.

    Still hopeful that somebody who has ridden up to one of the outfitters on the Gouin can provide some insight on doing the loop shown on the Tamarac placemap. It seems that there are 3 outfitters (plus the indian village) up there that are open in the winter??? You juiced-up freeriders who long for the big off-trail experience should know something about this?? Anybody??

    i have not done this loop, yet.

    My brother in law does business with at least one of the outfitters there. He told me about the loop. He knows I have ridden just about everywhere and said go there.

    Talking with Martin at the Tamarac in Clova it seems like a very popular run for the groups from mt Laurier(mostly French) from France . There is an Indian woman who makes traditional meals by reservation in her home (lunch stop for the tourists)

    Most of the trail is over the ice at times they say you can see no land at all just stakes marking The trail

    Note not groomed as often as is a private loop and not sure if they groom on the reservoir but I doubt it so never know what is like.

    They are open in winter

    I can verify that before we get the groomers going this year.

    That's all I got for you Timbo looks like a great loop is on my list for sure maybe this season.

    So many trails so little time.

    Wemotaci residents being allowed to return home. No word on Relais 22 will try to find out. there are still more then 20 fires burning in Quebec only 1 is listed as out of control. rain helped for now and number is way down from the 60 last week that were burning

    unsure if the trails have been affected yet (bridges burned etc.....) we shall see

    not sure if the people from manawan have been allowed to return yet.
