I'm writing to you this morning, disheartened and angry.
A snowmobiler has found it clever to go off-trail on private land, a maple sirop producer. 
Despite the very visible signs indicating a very fragile right-of-way, this could very well cost us a right-of-way.
The club has invested time and money, only to have it all ruined by a person who disrespected us all!
 
A search is underway to find him, and he will have to pay for this trespass.

Hard at it. Making things ready for snow.

Transmission issues as well before last layover. 
I find it fascinating. Ride of a lifetime. Now once they open the groomed Hudson Bay Northern white road count me in.
 

Update 
The group of four men, originally from the Eastern Townships, were hiking in the mountains some 20 km east of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts on Tuesday, in an off-piste sector not accessible by federated trails.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) declined to elaborate on the cause of the accident on Wednesday. According to eyewitness accounts, three snowmobilers passed over a ledge. It collapsed, and the men found themselves buried under the snow, according to our initial information. Some were reportedly covered by more than two metres of snow.
The fourth snowmobiler alerted emergency services at around 5:30 pm. Sûreté du Québec (SQ) police officers, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts firefighters and the many snowmobile guides who arrived on the scene in the evening could do nothing to save the three men.
"It's an extraordinary tragedy," commented Guy Bernatchez, prefect of the Haute-Gaspésie MRC. "They were in their early thirties and fathers. That makes it even more dramatic," he added, before offering his condolences to the families.
The SQ would not give details of the victims, but confirms that they were from the Eastern Townships. According to our information, they had already visited the Chic-Chocs in recent months with a guide, and had decided to return to this area, eight kilometers from Mont Médaille.
 
The men were behind the wheel of Snowbnikes or Timbersleds, a type of motocross bike with tracks. These machines are more maneuverable, but less powerful than off-trail snowmobiles.
A guide who took part in the rescue, but did not wish to be identified, spoke of a "stupid accident" that could have struck experienced snowmobilers. "It's like the year the French died in Lac Saint-Jean. These are powerful machines, they move, they stir, they move fast," said the man, referring to the tragedy that occurred in January 2020 when five tourists and their guide sank in the icy waters of the lake.
Adrénaline hors-piste guide David Lévesque was on the scene with Avalanche Québec on Wednesday, trying to understand what had happened.
"Cornices build up a lot with the wind, but when the weather warms up in spring, they get much heavier and can fall much more easily," says Lévesque.
Without wishing to go into the details of the accident at this stage, the guide feels that this is a reminder to snowmobilers in Quebec: avalanches can happen here.
"People who go to Western Canada do avalanche training for snowmobilers, and they're confronted with avalanches almost every trip. In Quebec, it's really in specific places, in specific conditions. But it can happen."

Did not end well, sadly all 3 dead.

Three snowmobilers dead after avalanche in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts
Rescuers found them several hours after the slide.
Three snowmobilers lost their lives on Tuesday evening, possibly swept away in an avalanche near Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Gaspésie.
Rescuers began searching for the three people around 5:30 p.m., when an emergency call was placed to 911. They were possibly surprised by an avalanche in the Mont Médaille sector of the Chic-Chocs.
"A team of rescuers from a specialized emergency measures team, who are trained in avalanche situations in particular, went to the area to rattissage," says Frédéric Deshaies, spokesman for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). Local firefighters and paramedics also pitched in.
The SQ initially reported two missing, but the number has been revised upwards. They were found late in the evening in the search area, in critical condition.
Unfortunately, the three men were pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to hospital. The victims were all in their thirties and from the Eastern Townships.
"An investigation is still underway to understand the exact circumstances surrounding this sad event," says Deshaies.

Did not end well, sadly all 3 dead.
