I booked everything 2 weeks ago, we prefer to stay at really nice places with great food, hot tub/sauna/pool, and spa for a message if possible . Here is our itinerary: Day 1 Le Village Windigo to Pourvoirie Windigo(13 North to 83 East) Day 2 Pourvoirie Windigo to Auberge Du Lac Taureau(73 South to 355 South to 360 West to M20 to 345 South to 360 West to 33 South) Day 3 Auberge Du Lac Taureau to Pourvoirie Meekos(33 North/West to 100 Lacs to orange feeder trail South to Meekos) Day 4 Pourvoirie Meekos to Le Village Windigo(319 West to 13 South to Devils Mountain Lookout and then back to the truck/trailer and drive home)

I start my saddle bag trip next Wednesday, what a great season!

Great video, looked like a perfect blue bird day for riding.

Great report guys! Lots of groomer activity last night, should be smooth sailing today and hopefully the winds die down this afternoon.

I love the trail side snack pic, what’s the plan for today? Did you guys get a dumping of snow last night, Val d’Or received 40cm in the last 24 hours apperantly.

The award winning St Hubert in Val d’Or is the best place to eat according to locals. Forestel is hard to beat, fantastic food, newly renovated accomedations, and great lit up video servalace parking lot for the sleds.

That sounds like an amazing trip, Clova to Chibougamou would be a great ride.

Great pics, Lebel to Chapais isn't the most exciting or picturesque run but it looks like you guys had great weather and freshly groomed trails. Tomorrow to Saint-Felicien is one of my favorites, enjoy!

Beauty pics, Senneterre to La Sarre via 93 is a great run! Warmer day tomorrow hopefully you guys don’t get any freezing rain.

Great report guys! What is the plan for tomorrow?

Thanks for the heads up, I think they have snow in the forecast over the next couple of days, that should help the trail conditions.

Ski-doo semi synthetic preferably, we are leaving Mont Laurier and heading up to 83 across to Relais 22 then back down to La Tuque, across to Saint Zenon area and then back to Mont Laurier area.

Looks like there is a 9km section that is not passable by the groomer.

Looks like you guys are following ICEMAN and crew who are doing a similar loop.

Weather is looking good and everything is nicely groomed for you, enjoy the ride today boys!

Great report, hopefully you guys find freshly groomed trails tomorrow.

I know Senneterre is good for oil. I want to know if anywhere along 83 from Lac Faillon to Roberval has bombo 2-stroke oil.

Great report and pics guys! No more freezing rain and ice pellets in the forecast, a little snow and then blue skies, enjoy the ride to Senneterre. Trail 83 Senneterre-Louvicourt-Val d’Or was just groomer last night. Did you guys notice if 2-stroke oil was available at any of your stops?

Yes

ICEMAN is running from Pouvoirie Windigo to Lac Faillon today, he will give a trail report tonight, it should be perfect and not effected by the warm up.

83 is the much better run IMO. You can get oil in Chiboug, Senneterre, Clova, Parent, Relais 22 and Roberval. Always carry an extra 2 litres just in case and you are good to go.

Any pics from today’s ride?

Senneterre, Val d’Or and Amos have the most snow I have seen in years! Head west from Faillon, we were there last Friday and groomer was on route from Clova; 83 is in great shape! Looking forward to seeing pictures and trail reports we will be back up there Feb. 20th.

Any places to buy 2-stroke oil along the way?

If it is a blue bird day I will try and find the CIP trail to get higher better view. Every time I have visited Devil’s Mountain it has been cloudy and snowing, hopefully I have better luck this time.
