We may all be guilty of it at one time or another, but parking 2 wide across any trail and not riding right can sometimes end badly. Like Andy we have come across sleds where we would have sworn we had the whole area to ourselves. Often these apparent 1 way trails have another way in/out the locals are clued into. Sometimes a camp road access and the like. Always got to try to leave as many options as possible, especially in Quebec. Looks like a good time was had by all for sure!

I am guessing 1 mile to the river, (no telling how the bank is there, and you have to cross 3 RR tracks), 1/2 mile to the trail 1 way and 3/4 to the other.

1.5 feet for December 2nd is pretty darn AWESOME!

A soon as the clubs start reporting open and conditions good, sledders start showing up. In the early season they are often not ready. Relays, gas, food, not ready yet. Signing, bridge work, frozen water used for the trails, not ready yet. Pockets to play in, sure, ready. Trail systems that have a very good summer system come into play with very little snow, others it takes a bit more time. The groomers that fired up have down so only in the last week, and even then they are several weeks ahead of last year, (awesome!) The good news is it is looking very good for us with the season off to a decent start. Mark.

With careful planning you don't need it, but it sure was handy! In past years depending on who/how it was run it was really nice to have there. Maybe Greg can leverage his contacts in the area and let us know if there is any chance of it being open. Mark.

The feature was there last year. No new updates mainly because the trails not really open for the most part. Soonish up to date reports will start populating. It is decoupled from the official FCMQ and relies on the ADMQ user inputs. Until it starts getting updated, not much use. If you look a t last years data, it got very little updating in general. Still useful for trip planning if someone was kind enough to share their trail experience before your ride. sledmagazine.com is maintaining the official trail reports this season. They had a really nice system 2 years ago,(better than FCMQ), and now it looks they are the real deal. Greg would know more as he is on their team, and also very good friends with the President of ADMQ.

Nice first run, looks like a good time for sure!

I think Jack rides mainly in the Chic-Chocs, you can find him here: www.Gaspe-Snowmobile-Adventures.com https://www.facebook.com/theSledDen

Like anywhere, try to buy from the club in the area you ride so the money gets to the trails you actually use.

Bummer. Moving operation to somewhere else?

100%.

Not direct, you can have a dealer order them.

You could stay at the Sheraton. Be in Quebec City, the Ice Hotel is right there too. Quebec Inn is nice too, lot's of nice places to eat and go close by.

Retail is $339 for the QualiPieces rollerski.

The worth it is relative to you and you situation. How bad do you want to ride, what conditions you are will to accept, and what is good for you in the dollar per mile calculations? Lots of folks will go, and plenty more who live a lot closer won't go. This time of year, you have to wait till the last minute, check conditions and go/ no go depending on what you learn. For sure, there will be something ride-able.

Close to the border so the area gets a lot of action. Mid Range is the guy right there with all of the latest and greatest information on the conditions once the snow starts.

The one in Quebec City is worth the trip, I went twice last year. Not sure I noticed any fire alarm system with theirs but I was not really looking for it.

Makes the unmarked intersections and the distance to gas much less stressful for sure. In this case bigger is better. If it is not a weather resistant model, be careful in snow or drizzle. If moisture gets behind the touchscreen it can make a mess of things. I see they make a sun shade for it too.

Don't understand where your post was aimed?

Dam, where did I put my decoder ring.

Awesome fun, just need some snow now!
