I would run the groomer for them if I lived there. I run our local groomer in Nova Scotia, we never seem to get much snow anymore and usually only lasts 3-4 weeks when we do get it. It would be awesome up in that area where the can easily have 5'- 6' of snow!

That is great news! The trail between LaCache and Murdochville is super essential to any good ride in the Gaspe. Any news on the cable supports that were compromised at Rivierre Madeline last season causing the need for a shuttle?

It is great to hear you say this Bob. Hopefully we can meet up some evening during the winter. I will let buy my supper just to make you feel better. LOL !! I would like to know the numbers breakdown, how many permits are sold to riders from other provinces, and how many are to riders from the USA? I am betting those numbers would be fairly significant.

Looks like an awesome adventure. Rivers in the Gaspesie always seem to be crystal clear.

A group of us were at Grand Nature in the Gaspe last Thursday night, the owner was struggling 3 days before the official opening to find enough staff. I realize it is a different type of place and geographical location then Repos. However finding good workers to come and stay for multiday shifts, or drive in on remote roads is a huge challenge. There is certianly not the bike traffic in the summer saddlebagging to create the business sleds do in the winter.

I purchased my permit last season through the Murdochville club, will again this season. I believe it it is very important to support these more remote clubs.

Is this close to the gas station where the trail comes out?

Thanks for straightening me out!

Stayed at Meekos last summer last summer on a sxs trip. They had some Defenders out front that I thought were available to rent.

That is pretty amazing!

$23/ day + Drinks for me

Just Googled the ski hill at Sugar Loaf in Maine. $600 for a six day lift ticket.

Good to see the early, early bird permit as an option on 2 of the 3 options. ( 2 & 3 )

Planning a side by side trip around the Gaspe mid June. A lot of different trails by bike but often meet at infrastructure. Going to take our time, will take 5 days to do the loop. We did a similar loop a couple years ago in early june and drove through snow in places!

Scorpionbowl and CKF met today and got things restarted. Things appear to be working better already. Looking into upgrades. Very good news!!

Stopped there for drinks last summer on a sxs trip.

Agree, BRP may be missing something. I have never driven a power steering sled but everyone I know that has say there is nothing like it.

I use the Quebec Quad Trakmaps on my Garmin, they are good. Having the snowmobile trail layer on the same GPS is helpful by times. I have found Quad trails and sled trails mostly cross around infrastructure in the Gaspesie Region. The Quebec Quad Association also has an interactive version that can be loaded on your phone. BTW the Gaspesie is just as awesome when riding a SXS.

Any ride on April 5th is a bonus ride!

Sent this to a Cat buddy, he took it hook, line and sinker. Had to tell him to read the fine print. LOL

Awesome George! 5400mi is a great season for sure.

That is the pub at the Hotel Danube Bleu in Forestville, I great spot to relax, have a cocktail, and talk about the days ride.

There are some awesome miles east of Tadoussac, well worth the trip. She is an excellent sledder, sticks right on my bumper right up to about 55mph.
