  1. If you stay at the Canadiana B4 your trip or on your return you can park for free. They will give you a parking pass for your windshield in the hotel office. If the office is closed the bar downstairs will have them. If your not staying I would assume you pay for the parking pass at the office or the bar. I always stay B4 departure so I have never paid for a pass. Don't know what they are worth.
  2. I know 307, 309and 313 but don't know 316. 309 Definetly has to cross the Harracana river about 10 or 12 KM North of Val dOr. Just North of the Outer marker beacon for the Val dOr airport. You can see it on the FCMQ map when you zoom in
  3. Any chance 309 North out of Val dOr will re-open? Is it the Harracana river crossing or land owner issues?
  4. So sorry to hear that. Run from Chibougamau today was 👍. Hopefully next year the snow is back to normal levels. Cheers
  5. Got into Chibougamau at 3 this afternoon from Amos. Trails were 9/10. Great day. Snowed all day today. Temiscaming is getting more snow and they are grooming 309 so you guys should be in good shape. Lots of snow in the forecast. Have a great trip.
  6. Second page of the post we were talking in or it’s on the second page in my phone. You saw my update so all good.
  7. Woke up to 6 inches of fresh snow in Temiscaming. Groomer headed North at about 6:30. We passed him about 15 miles North of town. Trail was great for 40 miles and then no snow. We went about 18 more miles hunting for snow running way to hot. Talked to a buddy that had just drove to ValDor this morning he said 50 to 60 miles of really low snow and ice. We turned around went back to the truck. 134 miles when we got back. Loaded up drove to Rouyn unloaded there and rode sleds up to Amos. Trails were great. Worst case if they don’t get more snow South start in Rouyn or Val DOr. All good up here. Heading for Chibougamau in the morning will update you in the afternoon.
  8. I will be having lunch in Pressiac about 1:30 or 2 tomorrow. Will update you then.
  9. I’m sure you will be good. If you look on the FCMQ site and click on groomers there is purple showing up everywhere. By tomorrow morning they will have a lot of trails covered. They will be out in full force Tonight.
  10. Got into Temaicaming about 4:30. Staying at Canadiana tonight. Put everything in the room pulled my wife’s sled off the trailer and went for a spin North of town. Went as far as the left turn for the voyagers clubhouse about 12 miles. Trails are hard lots of sled and carbide tracks frozen in. They haven’t been touched since B4 the warm and rain. Sled ran at normal temp with out the scratcher’s down. Now -10 going to -20 tonight. Just saw the groomer go by the hotel. As soon as they groom them they will be great. Supposed to get 6 to 8 cm tonight so if we do lube will not be an issue. We are riding from here to Amos tomorrow staying at Eskers and then to Chibougamau Saturday staying at the Nordic. I will update on thé conditions we get Friday and Saturday. Road crossings are bare and the shoulders are as well but the trails should survive and snow is in the forecast. I’m sure as we go North it will only get better.
  11. I will be in Temiscaming about 5pm tomorrow. Will give you an update. The few mm of rain should not be an issue.
  12. Was wondering about gas myself.
  13. Anyone know why about 15km of trail North of Angliers is Red. Landowner issue, Swamp?
  14. Last year my wife and I rode from Temiscaming to Amos Friday. Amos to Matagami through LSQ. Gas station lunch and back to Eskers on Saturday. (Left our bags in the room....nice) Resturant at Eskers is fun and an indoor walk from the room. Sunday Amos to Temiscaming through Val dOr. Loaded up and drove home. 850 miles of great Abitibi running.
