we stayed at the Forestel last month and everything was great. Stayed at the L'Escale a couple nights later just to try something different. It is really really in town. alot of scratching to get to. Rooms were nice there as well. Food was excellent but very expensive and took a long long time to get through dinner, they really make a night of it

Love the Chevaliers Club there in Pohenegamook. We were just there on Friday as well

we use communicators for this very reason

Great news for sure!

Sad to hear, this is by far the best source for information on snowmobiling in Quebec. Will miss it for sure, the Facebook page version is filled with nonsense and very little useful information

Does anyone know how to get in touch with John Rowe?

Last Day, left the Quality Inn in RN around 8:15 took 93 to 83 towards Ville Marie. Hit the 303 and continued South. Everything was groomed up the night before and smooth. Gassed up at Angliers then continued down 63 to Lac La Carne. Rolled in at 12:15 and had a great lunch. One more stretch to the TemRose and everything was great, saw a Lynx in the trail what a sight. 160 miles for the day approximately 1100 miles for the week. Great trails all week, one small note, pay attention to the gas stations marked on the map/app. Many don’t have signs out on the trail

Yes, I knew it was colder than it’s been in years but cold=great trails. Very low traffic even on Saturday

Yes, we were checking in right ahead of you. I recognized your name when you said it but wasn’t sure if it was from here or a Facebook page. How was the Lasagna?

Day 6: Late launch, cold this AM -9 and -35F real feel. Not going far need to stage for tomorrow. Tried to get rooms in Ville Marie for tonight but they are booked because of some winter games they have going on. Got a room at the Quality Inn Rouyn Noranda so only going to be 120 mile day. Leave L’Esterel take the local to 83. Take 83 all the way in. Stop for gas in Cadillac and eat lunch there. Restaurant is closed Saturday and Sunday??? So we ate at the gas station. Lots of options either cold sandwiches or stuff you can heat up. Continued in to RN all trails in great shape and very low traffic for a Saturday. It’s full winter here. Come and get it. If you are sitting home waiting for the latest patch on the iMotoneige app, you may as well Summerize the sleds. The time is now

Just so you know the 83 reroute has been updated on the app. I saw the Malartic club announced it on their page the other day but because I didn’t clear out the page or refresh it, mine still showed the old trail

Day5: Left Forestel took 83 East to 313 North, then the local over to 309 and gassed at LaCorne. Took 316 to 307 up to Pressiac and had lunch in the gas station there. They have hot food available. We backtracked down 307 to 83 at River Heva. This is where we messed up with the 83 reroute, when you come down 307 to the warming shack 83 is not to the left at all anymore, you need to go right (west) a few miles to get to 83. We finally found 83 and took that into Val’Or to the Hotel L’Escale. Nice place but tough to get to and if it doesn’t have snow on the side you can’t make it. 160 miles

Day 4: Cold this AM, -23F late start in LSQ left the hotel at 11 am head to Senneterre, stop at the warming shack with the oil stove for a time and then head to Senneterre to the Pub Metro for a late lunch. Continued to Val d’Or to the Forestel for the night 115 miles

Day 3: Left Amos, took 93 West to 307 and topped the gas at Pikogan. Cold -6F this AM. Continued on 307 to 396, crossed the Rivera d went about 5 miles in good trail but ungroomed since the snow. Here we met the groomer coming down from Matagami. Trail was great and didn’t pass a sled all the way into Matagami. Filled up at the Shell then warmed up and had lunch across the street. The Hotel seems to be coming along, maybe next year. Left on 396 to Lebel Sur Quevillon. Trail not groomed since the snow but not in bad shape. Only passed one group of 4 going the other way. Stopped at the warming shack, luckily the other group had started a fire and the shack was nice and warm. After a break we continued to LSQ for the night. -11F real feel -34F Motel Iris, nice place we have been here before no restaurant on site but a close walk. 215 miles for the day

Day 2- Left Rouyn and took 93 in the direction of LaSarre. Cold this AM, -9F stopped to warm up at the Golf Course in Duparquet, had some soup and headed up the trail. Continued on 93 and took the Orange trail past Gallichan and looped out to the Ontario border and across Lac Abitibi. Connected back to 93 and into LaSarre for lunch at La Brute du Coin, great place and easy access. After lunch made tracks on 93 East to Amos and into the Amosphere for the night. 160 miles for the day.

Left Temiscaming Monday morning at 9AM. Pretty warm 28F and snow with heavy wind. 63 out of town was a just a little bumpy. Good snow here just the twisty’s in the woods over the rougher terrain can’t be smoothed out. Stopped at Camp Lu LaCarne for a break and ended up eating an early lunch. Great place and great food right off trail. Continued up 63 to 303 trails were all in great shape with good snow conditions. Stayed at the Quality Inn Rouyn Noranda for the night. 160 miles

Headed up tomorrow for a week. Going to launch from the TemRose in Temiscaming

Wednesday-Sunday 11AM to 7PM

they just opened it yesterday

When were you planning on riding it and which direction? Like what date? I say if its not too far out of the way try it and maybe when you get closer to the affected area someone will know if there is traffic on it. Maybe call Pourvoirie La Dore, they seem to be the closest to the closure 1-418-317-6431

A trail has to be closed more than just on a map. While I am not saying to ride closed trails I am saying nobody can assume everyone is seeking out an app for their direction. If a trail is closed they would need to mark THE TRAIL as such not just a map on the interweb

something looks off but I can't put my finger on it

yes.....always

January of 2013 on 93 near Amos

Good to know, still nice to have a spot to warm up and get lunch though
