I suggest e-mailing the fcmq, the ministry of tourism and saguenay tourism. If we all do this it will gain some traction. We won't get anywhere with Nancy as is evident in her e-mails. This is crown land. It is sad for km 31 and La Chapelle. They will be the ones that suffer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this is a great idea.  I wonder if someone could put together something we could just forward?  I'm not that computer literate.

It is odd that he left the stop without a written citation with court details listed on it if he wanted to dispute the fine. Even a parking ticket you get given the citation on the spot with the fine listed and details on how to plead or dispute it. Also not questioning that he was stopped.  Just finding the details odd.

 

last year I had several friends stopped outside of Rivere du loup.  for high speeds these were definitely officers.  they just took there info and informed them if they had any other speeding tickets they would be getting one in the mail.  apparently they cannot look this stuff up from there sled?  nothing ever showed up but one was thinking he'd get a ticket seen five years ago he got one.          Another question is do these passes have dates on them?  Could you buy one and be good for the season?

What was your reason for not saddlebagging with it?

I also had a 22 xrs 900r.  so a bump sled and a touring sled.

 The 600 lb. dry weight has me concerned about the Polaris.  I was seriously thinking about buying the 650 two stroke but dependability issues concerned me. There are several Polaris Adventure Centers in Maine. One has Matryx 650 rentals for $999.00 Mon. thru Fri. I may do this a couple times this winter to get my 'fix'.

yes the heavy dry weight seems out of place as far as other four-stroke sleds.   I had a xcr 650 last year liked it alot but wasn't the sled for saddlebaging trips so it didn't get used much so I sold it.  now just one sled set up for what I do 90% of the time.

I'm waiting on the turbo version for next year.

Hot of the Press......

just spoke to Celine at Kanawata.........

The trail to Casey IS GROOMED a couple days ago and just not showing on FCMQ map due to technical GPS issues

I wonder how many other sections are having the same problem?

[Senneterre to Pourvoirie Fer a Chavel]

I would suggest everyone carrying fuel.  that's a long run if your pushing any snow and if it's like it normally is and smooth its hard not to run fast.

[Sainte Anne du lac north]

guys where is camp Casey located?  didn't see it on 345?

[Hotel Roquemont heading to Lac St Jean]

I prefer 22.  accommodations are a separate building with a common room to hangout.  with bedrooms down two wings.  bathrooms are shared but plenty big enough.  food was pretty good there as well.  service last year was great also a small bar where some locals come in.  side note one of the helpers said they have snow into late April to ride.

you watched it go over?

I’ll second that for l’hombre du vent.  Several years back I got talking to a guy in the Central.  He told me his buddy just built some cabins and handed me a card for l’hombre.  Fast forward a few more years. We were caught in some heavy rain. After a half day of it, we decided to cut the day short and head to the Central for the night.  As we were coming into town I saw a sign for l’hombre and stopped the group.  Let’s go check this place out.  We pulled in, soaking wet.  Andre had us pull our sleds into his shop for the night. He hung a clothesline up to hang our suits on and turned the heat up to what must have been around 80 F. He hands us the keys for his minivan to use for the night.  The next morning sleds and suits are dry and warm.  Talk about a super experience that we still talk about to this day.

that's quebec hospitality at its best.

[Big chunk of TQ 3 closed , east of Forestville?]

guys saw this yesterday and it didn't change today.   is 3 going to be open now imotoniege doesn't show it closed?

[The "Buffalo" is going to get SLAMMED !]

I remember last year dealing with two big snowfalls in quebec of 30" in 24 hours.   weather like there seeing now is stay in the hotel and drink lol.

[She's out]

any obvious problems seen yet with the "bad" motor?

[TQ93 sawmill gas stop?]

I know a group made it last year no gas on sleds.  several Mach z and a 850renegade.  top speed was 30mph.  and the z's were in echo mode.  but that's no fun carry gas and pin it.

[New Bridge]

did they build a ice bridge at this spot before?  our is there a road crossing just out of picture view?

[TQ 5 Rivere Renard to Gaspe]

on imotoniege it's still the old way.  wonder if it was rerouted to go by there clubhous?

 

 

 

[Big chunk of TQ 3 closed , east of Forestville?]

if a easy go around like guys posted is still available it won't be bad.

[Is this old news, or do we not care out grooming (or trails) anymore?]

if we all chip in we can share one lol.

[Border crossing 2022/2023]

I am planning on bringing my brother and my niece to the powersports show in Toronto.   last year only one person in the group had to do this is it still the same?

[Now in the Gaspe]

this is just sad.  

[Right not left people]

first thing I have seen accidents at high speeds and the snowmobile were not tore up that bad.  both sleds doing 100mph?  second thing from my riding this year is I have noticed more people riding left In groups when trying to pass from behind.  I finally was able to talk to one group that spoke English and the led guy has a communicator telling about oncoming traffic.   so when coming from behind these guys are all over the place thinking there safe.  I'm sure my passes on the right in a straight away pissed some off but what the he**

I have read about that too Gutz but thanks for reminding me. It will be challenging (and hopefully fun) diagnosing and finding out what went wrong. Thank God I have some serious professional gear heads in my inner circle of friends for support. 

this sounds like a great summer project involving lots of captain and coke  👌 

[questions on the ski doo skandic]

thanks for the info I see they also switched to the ras x front suspension thus year but 38" wide.  are they a handful in the twistes?
