Great report Alain, where are you headed on your trip this year?

I like the dog in the coat 😀

You need to sharpen your Beaver hunting skills

Don't have the foggiest about the trails in 2 weeks but lets not get anyone started on an Amsoil vs. OEM battle!

No subject is more polarizing for snowmobilers than this one. I really don't get why but there seems to be no middle ground. I personally think signaling how many are in the group is a silly investment in blind faith but I admit when I see a group coming at me on a straight stretch practically falling off their sleds trying to signal me I will give them signal. I think everyone needs to remember that no matter which opinion you of signaling you follow, it is just that....your opinion. As aggravated as you may be that someone does not signal back they may be just as pissed that you are trying to get them to signal

wng-2 where was checkpoint at the NB/Quebec border in the past and where were you when they wrote you up? I was always under the impression you could go to first place a pass was available

If you only have 3 days for sure drive to Matane. If you have 5 or 6 then RDL

Nice trip Andy 👍

Great report and pics Alain, I am sure I am not the only one who fires his laptop up on a Sunday night looking for your report!

Mike we were at the one near Rimouski on 5 near the power lines two weeks ago on a Monday and they were closed then

There a few ways into NB probably either take 85 and cross at Degelis then take I think 12 to 17 to Moose Valley or probably the preferred route would be going through Sqatec to Biencourt on 35 then making a right on the Orange local trail, keep an eye out you will be on 35 and just after a small road crossing you have to go right. This will take you into NB and put you on 135 you can either stay on 135 to 17 intersection just North of Moose Valley or take 135 just a short distance into NB then take 150 (this trail is really nice) then take that to 17 which will bring you out just North of the 135/17 intersection. Not sure where your goal is for the night but the trail leaving Moose Valley on 17 N/E to 155 is awesome and brings you out in St. Irene Quebec

They have been saying that for years, I think the real issue is there is not enough business in winter at least steady business

The trips that go real smooth are the ones you forget

How many days do you have to ride?

I was there with my wife and another couple. We were riding the Yamaha’s

Rodney, met some guys from your area last Tuesday night Wednesday morning in Murdochville was one of them you?

Maybe we all need to start running Waze

We missed you Mike, came up to Universal last Sunday and left there today about 1:30. Maybe next time

Today finished the trip with an easy 75 mile run to the truck. Took 85 to 35 West to the Pohenemagook clubhouse. Continued on 35 to 544 back to 85 then 526 into Hotel Universal. All trails good Load up and start heading home. Almost 1200 miles for the week lots of snow low traffic and great grooming made for a great week, come and get it

Think I figured out the pic thing, when I checked my profile it doesn’t show up as a contributing member for some reason

Left Amqui yesterday and took the 587N Topped the gas at St. Irene then took the Orange trail 154 right there to Moose Valley NB. Trails down there are great groomed forestry roads, 100 miles from Amqui to Moose Valley Sporting Lodge. Had lunch there then took the 150 to 135 back to the border at Biencourt. Took 35 to Sqatec trails still in pretty good shape for a Saturday afternoon but much more traffic on the Quebec side. Continued on 35 after Sqatec through the twistys (should have taken 571) to 85 into Cabano to Hotel Fraser for the night. Can’t load pics for some reason will try later
