  1. Could be worse, Polaris issued a do not ride on 230,000 units in the fall due to possible fire.
  2. Quebec Snowmobile Trail Maps https://sites.google.com/site/scdiscdi/cartesgps/sentiersmotoneige Snowmobile Trails Map 2023 v15.1 This map is offered to you free of charge, it is available on PC, Mac, Android platforms, and is compatible with Garmin GPS. Here are the links where you can get the different versions of the map. The PC version https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlrtCHHWCApwhBUS5_a5yKqd3EtF This version is composed of 2 cards. A low detailed background map of Quebec and another transparent containing only trails and points of interest. It gives you the possibility of superimposing it on another card of your choice. The Mac version https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlrtCHHWCApwhBb5nQkuV5FTT9Hz Its name suggests, it is designed for Mac computer users. This is the same map as the PC version. Its installation method is different. We dropped the use of Javawa to make it available to all Mac versions. You will find all the information necessary for its installation in the .PDF file that comes with the card. The Nuvi/Zumo version https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlrtCHHWCApwhBd28bCVtAOI4JiD Unlike the Mac and PC versions, this one is made up of a single card which is not transparent for display reasons, because this type of GPS does not support not very good "autorouting" with transparent maps when using the route function. Android version https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlrtCHHWCApwhB9uKo7oF2zOZQ0Z This version installs on an Android tablet or phone. It requires the use of the OruxMaps or Locus Map application.
  3. Released last September 15,2022 for MY22, March 17, 2023 MY21 added. VIN specific, easy fix, (tighten and/or replace screw.)
  4. Nice run. Look at the weather in Clova or Mont Valin, should be good for a few weeks more at least!
  5. Parent groomer was heading out to pull him out. One of the few times it actually moved all year. 😉
  6. Fer A Cheval was awesome. Clova was PACKED!!! Trails were mostly very good also 😏
  7. FWIW FCMQ showing most of it closed.
  8. No way to look at it on the FCMQ map, you can download as a .gpx file, and view any other way you want. Basecamp, GPX viewer and a zillion others. The tracks off your GPS are WAY more useful as they have lots more data points.
  9. We can thank KM31 and Chapelle for really fighting this. Hoping common sense prevails for next season. Mylène is a beast and never gave up the fight! https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1961664/montsvalin-zecmartinvalin-motoneiges-contravention-droit-passage-boycott?fbclid=IwAR2xSw5vDkGbRfmNUpvUwLh8-5i9LUIL0W5ceVAtqfm7KgXdt801JT7B7T4
  10. March 13, 2023 4:08 p.m.Updated at 6:42 p.m. Share Access rights: zec Martin-Valin temporarily exempted DENIS VILLENEUVE The Daily The litigation affecting snowmobilers using the trails on the territory of zec Martin-Valin is over. Discussions between representatives of the MRC du Fjord-du-Saguenay and the Ministry of the Environment resolved the impasse. The zec has obtained the flexibility that allows it to be exempted from pricing and temporary registration for snowmobilers who are members of the Fédération des Clubs de motoneigistes du Québec (FCMQ). Under the agreement, snowmobilers who hold their access card from the Federation will not have to register and pay traffic fees in the zec, provided they stay on the trails maintained by the federated clubs. READ ALSO NEWS “Good news” expected Monday for snowmobilers on Monts Valin March 11, 2023 Snowmobilers who travel off-trail and all people who travel through the zec reception station must register and pay their driving fees, otherwise they risk a fine. During a press briefing held late Monday afternoon, the MNA for Chicoutimi, Andrée Laforest, said she was satisfied with the outcome of the dispute, which nevertheless constitutes a temporary measure allowing the continuation of tourist activities related to the snowmobiling for the rest of the winter. "We realize that a small decision can disturb tourism," she said. As for the future, the MNA mentioned that discussions will have to take place between the FCMQ and the zecs, however, insisting on the fact that the MRC du Fjord-du-Saguenay is preparing to submit its tourism strategy and that it will take partnership to get it right. She recalled that the snowmobile industry represents spinoffs of $35 to $40 million. Asked whether snowmobilers who have received statements of offense distributed by zec patrollers could be exonerated, Ms. Laforest mentioned that she was going to discuss with her colleagues in Quebec. Under current regulations, the zec must ensure the control and protection of its territory by distributing statements of offense when there is omission to respect the regulations. Zec Martin-Valin decided last year to diversify its activities during the cold season by opening certain lakes to ice fishing, increasing the accommodation offer and offering free parking areas. Director General Marie-Josée Savard has indicated in a press release that she is ready to discuss with the partners in order to work towards the development of all forms of collaboration.
  11. Been happy with the Hotel Nordic, nice to be able to park in the garage in the back, normal winter it gets REALLY cold up there.
  12. If you are issued a ticket by "ZEC" police, I would think the the enforcement options be be little to none. Frame it and hang it in your garage. I know lots of folks who have ridden there in the past several weeks, no issues whatsoever.

    Took me a while to talk him off the cliff so that him and his buddy didn’t wanna throw us in jail and before you know it, we were high-fiving, hugging and exchanging Christmas cards. It wasn’t that hard to get out of actually.
