  1. If anyone’s heading up I just want you to know that the trail does smooth out after roughly 10 miles North of Chibougamau http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_03/IMG_0150.thumb.jpeg.c9c7271af169c9f3d4c2711edf7ffa85.jpeghttp://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_03/IMG_0151.thumb.jpeg.302e8ef46b73034065b1d8e64c1fbbcd.jpeg
  2. With all the new snow and more predicted in the next week in Gaspe is there any chances of trails opening back up?

  4. The weather channel is predicting the possibility of over 2’ of snow starting on Wednesday night, any chance of trails reopening if this happens?
  5. When I passed through here in March of ‘20 we were escorted by 2 Hydro Quebec trucks as we crossed the bridges into Havre
  6. I had the lasagna Friday, it sucked, I was told when they had a chef the food was great, hopefully they along with many others are able to rebound someday from the Chinese flu!.
  7. Now that’s the review I’ve been looking for! I read somewhere that a Saturday night in chibougamau is about as close you will come to experiencing the bar scene in the first Star Wars episode!
  8. Planning on passing through this week coming from the West looking for recommendations on a place for the night and a good dinner? Thank you in advance.
  9. Anyone have any info on TQ 3 being closed between Sept Illes and Sheldrake, hoping this isn’t a permanent closure?
  10. Thanks for the update, I was hoping to hear better news , perhaps there is still time for rescinding the rules before the prime riding season hits!
  11. I heard Ontario is going to end their restrictions on Bars & Restaurants on January 31 , 2022 . I’m curious if anyone has information on whether the tyrannical government of Quebec has announced that they will do the same?
  12. Hopefully they’ll offer snowmobile packages.
  13. I’m sure with the Christmas Eve snow people were out riding, I have friends that live on the Westside of the Allegheny National Forest and they were out riding this past weekend, still no base and the ground is soft but in this day and age take what you can get.
  14. The trails are decent, there’s one big loop around the kinzu Dam, on occasion they get some big lake effect dumping, lots of traffic, minimal grooming.
  15. Very little traffic , especially during the week. Seems that most people use the trails to access their cabins in the bush.
  16. I ran this trail last March, stayed at the complex Pelchat in Les Escoumins, there’s a nice restaurant and fuel next door. The gas station in Baie Trinity Is easily accessible from the trail and actually has good sandwiches and such, for a quick lunch. Hotel Les Mouettes in Sept Illes is easily accessible and very close to Mike’s restaurant and a large IGA grocery store, best part is they have a full service bar and a great staff!
  17. 1st day riding was pretty much a whiteout with 2’ of fresh in the upper elevations so we basically did 85 mile loop from 5,700’ to 10,200 and back to the trail head, it was a hell of a workout trying to keep the sled from getting sucked off the trail. We found the further you ride in from the trailhead the less traffic you’ll encounter when playing in the mountains and it certainly helped that a member of our party has been riding in Alpine 3 weeks a year for the last 12 years so we didn’t waste any time looking for the untouched hill climbs, best off trail riding I’ve ever experienced! My only bitch was they didn’t groom our first 3 days there and mountain sleds really do a number on the trails, almost like Tug Hill. I felt sorry for the people who came to just ride the trails it was brutal considering it was Presidents Day Weekend .
  18. 3,900 for the season, 975 miles in Northern Ontario, 400 in Alpine, Wyoming, 125 brutal miles on Tug Hill, 400 miles in the Keewenaw Peninsula of Michigan and an epic 2,000 miles from Les Escoummins to Blanc Sablon and back.
  19. Passed boatloads of sledders heading to Mount Vallin.
  20. I crossed into the USA this evening, not a single vehicle crossing South other than myself, but the Canucks heading North stretched for a mile, I’m unable to download video due to size issue of file.
  21. I’m currently at the Econolodge in Forestville, the Bar is closed and seating in Restaurant is spaced every other table, The day before in Bae Comeau at Marco’s Pizza the Bar was dead, myself plus 3 regulars.
  22. Mr. Iceman, we left Labrador this morning at 7:am trying to get back to Sept-Îles before the next winter blast, luckily today’s snowfall was at our backs as we traveled 180 miles back into Harrington Harbour.
