  16. Update Mt Valin La hutte trail

    in General Discussion

    Access to this section of trail within the Parc has been the subject of conflict between motorized and non motorized users for many years.

    Many Quebec riders are familiar with the outstanding views of la hutte and I thought that this translated update would be of interest. Appears that is is anticipated that this new trail would be for the winter of 09-10, not sure of the access status for this year. So if it is open, this may be the last year for snowmobile access to the hutte.

    "The conflict between environmentalists and snowmobilers about snowmobile traffic in the Mountains National Park Valin is about to end.

    After months of negotiations, the League of outdoor facilities in Quebec, the snowmobile club Caribou-conscripts and the MRC Fjord-du-Saguenay have finally agreed on the creation of a new track which will bypass the national park.

    Under the agreement, snowmobiles therefore cease to attend the park, probably by the winter 2009-2010.

    For several years, environmental groups asked the government of Quebec to prohibit access to snowmobilers Mountains National Park Valin, particularly at peak of the hut.

    The development of the new track will be funded by the Quebec government at a cost of 350 000 dollars. The new route will offer five locations of stops with panoramic views. However, snowmobilers can no longer reach the peak of the hut.

    The director of the park, Francois Guillot, said the new route and new viewpoints to be arranged outside the park will meet club motoneigistes Caribou-conscripts.

    Within five peaks that have been selected and we have overflown by helicopter this summer with club members, there is one which is higher than the peak of the hut and there is one that is the same height as the peak of the hut, "says Guillot.

    Snowmobile Caribou-conscripts, Yves Simard, confirms the quality of views. He explained however that it is too early to know whether the snowmobilers come Mountains National Park Valin for the winter season 2008-2009.

    Very sad news,just heard. I loved Bernard, known him 15 years. My first trip to Quebec I stayed at his motel.We talked on the phone every few weeks, I just spoke with him last week and he was telling me about an electric car he was going to buy. He came down to CT about seven years ago and stayed at my house and I took him and Jocelyn into NYC and went sightseeing. I will truly miss him. As Rob said, He really was an ambassador to the sport.

    Rest in peace Bernard!!! I love Ya Man!!!!!!!!

    Your friend Stan
