That's strange it's on the pass I printed out. Maybe the difference is mine is a Temporary for the season verses yours which is a one day pass.

Purchased a one day permit for next week. Yes it’s print version of a pass and they ask just to keep it in your pocket in a ziplock bag or have a screen shot of it on your phone.
Nice and easy.
Instructions that are attached to the printable permit
INSTRUCTIONS: Once printed, the trail permit must be affixed to the snowmobile to which it was registered. It is your responsibility to ensure that it remains clear and legible for the duration of its usage. We offered the following suggestions as methods of protecting and affixing the permit to your snowmobile:
- Insert the permit in a clear plastic packing slip envelope with adhesive backing from an office supply store.
- Laminate the permit and tape it to the snowmobile.
- Affix the permit to the sled with clear packing tape that will allow to be seen while protecting it from the elements.
- Insert the permit in a clear Ziploc bag and tape it to the snowmobile.
- As an extra precaution, we recommend printing the required permit registration paperwork and proof of purchase and carrying it on your person at all times.

La Glaciere gets my vote, Lionel the owner tends the bar and waits the tables, his wife is a chef, the food there in my opinion is hands down far superior to cabanon. Parking for trucks in a snow bank enclosed area that gets blocked in by a vehicle at night, sled enclosure that also gets blocked in at night, new security cameras in the sled enclosure, as with Cabanon, gas on site.

^^^X2. La Glaciere gets my vote much more personable. Lionel and his wife are great host’s.

Very nice report an videos.
About the hand signals not being common in Quebec, I know a lot of us run gauntlets making it much more difficult to take your hand out and get it back in depending on the style. That being said we ALWAYS assume there is going to be an oncoming sled coming around the next corner or over the next knoll! Ride hard.....but always ride right!!!
Not to derail a good write up but I never did like the signal thing. Been almost taken out numerous times by people taking their hands off the bars to signal as their sled darts all over the trail.
And...how is the guy that is last in one group and signals you to that fact know that there is not another sled or group just around the corner behind him????
Signals are stupid !!! Keep your hands on the bars and your sled in control on your side and I'll deal with whats behind you.

Ski doo had guys with the adjustable columns thinking that wires would wear with all the movement so wanted to get as much wiring out of there as possible with all the risers being installed, fair enough, we will live with it.
Not really, mountain guys have been relocating everything off the bars even the kill switch for awhile now.
It's less things to break when rolling the sled over and from tree branches also keeps them out of the way when hoping from one side of the sled to the other and grabbing the strap, but most accomplished riders don't use the strap.

Like most here, I'm getting excited for the winter to come and have some high hopes for a good season with epic snow!
Have my eyes on a new sled for this year but a truck came first, picked out a new Ford F250. There are some things I want to do such as better tires, tint, air ride for back, list is growing fast but really excited about the new F250 diesel coming from a bunch of F150s for many years. Should make for a comfy trip to/from quebec with massaging heated seats if nothing else... ; )
Post up pics of trucks and trailers HERE as we all get them ready for the snow tow season.
Nice ride !! you won't be disappointed I love my '06 F250. I wouldn't waste the money on airbags it's not a 150 it won't squat unless you're dragging something thats extremely heavy. I've had a little over 1 ton of sand in mine and no issue.

That new Ford is quite beautiful thought.
Yea not happening!! Even if you are just pulling that tiny little trailer. One reason is I don't have to stop for fuel, I have an extra 100 gals in the bed that feeds into the main fuel tank gives me a little more than 1600 miles without stopping.

So are all the hydro lines free game to ride??? I have ridden the lines near Mt. Valin but not sure if all are free reign.

Iceman we saw you at Chapelle we were in for a bite to eat and a thaw.
We were on 3 Freerides and a Summit was going to introduce myself but you guys left before I got the chance. Stayed at Vince's (Passion)for the week.

Thanks wasn't sure how they would react to this. Trailer owner is my best friend so I have all his contact info.
-
We have a trip planned but one of the guys that was coming can't make it and we were planning on him for his trailer (4 place)
He said we can use it to go so my question is...
Has anyone crossed the border with a trailer that does not belong to anyone in the vehicle (we will have the registration/owners card card for the trailer)

Sorry about your luck.
St Donat is my wife's favorite place to stay and ride, though it's not the without Gatan and Pierre(Arèa) around.
Where did you stay in St Donat? At the pot?

I received a phone call yesterday afternoon and was told that we lost one of the great ambassadors’ of the sport, Gaetan Aubain.
I was told that he succumbed to lung cancer after a long battle with health issues.
As most of us know Gaetan was a pioneer in bringing U.S. snowmobilers to St. Donat and the surrounding areas.
My wife and I are glad to be able to call him a true friend and spend time with him and his wife at their home after he retired as the owner of la Cuillère à pot.
For so many years the trips to the Pot were always our favorite of the season.
Three or four trips a year just didn’t seem enough, the fantastic riding was just icing on the cake of our time spent at Gaetan’s.
Gaetan my friend, rest in peace you will be greatly missed.

Hpoe you and Andyman have a great ride.
We're leaving PA tomorrow, late, for St-Donat. Spend the nite in Watertown. Should get in by mid-day on Thursday. Will leave my place on an Archambault friday morning (with the ladies) and will do the Woods Runner Trails for 6 days. Meekos, Mille Lacs, Rabaska, mebbee Bal Buzzard, around to Kanawata, and back to St-Donat. Not big miles, but a big time with the snowladies. 'Sides, there is often great merit in commencing the cocktail hour at 4:30, rather than 7:30.
if you are in that neck of the woods, we'll be easy to find.
Timbo/Andyman,
Maybe I'll run into you guys up there, We're heading to the Pot on the 14th-21st. My wife is dying to ride her new GSX.
Timbo, where are you staying on the lake?
Looks like game on

Yes I was just editing my post as to that effect.
Could be the difference but like you said strange that they would not want the day pass affixed to the sled.
