  1. Hello Bill, Welcome again in your second home. We hope you'll have a great time in Paradise. Max
  2. Hello, Today, the Québec Minister of Transport, M. Robert Poëti, announced that he never intended to prohibit the use of stud for snowmobiles. Here is the translation of the press release. (Since they don't have it in English, I had to use Google Translate, my apologize). QUEBEC, Jan. 21 2016 / CNW Telbec / -. The Minister of Transport of Quebec, Mr. Robert Poëti, explained that, as part of the pilot project on the use of stud on tires and track vehicles off-road, it was never his intention to ban stud for snowmobiles, while reiterating that security on roads or off-road is a priority for him at all times. "During the drafting of the ministerial order, a generalization of measures to all off-road vehicules could suggest that we will restrict the use of stud for snowmobiles, which is absolutely not the case. To avoid confusion in its application, the wording of the order will be clarified as soon as possible, "said Minister poeti. For its part, the Federation of Quebec snowmobile clubs expressed reassured by the minister. "We consider that this is excellent news for the safety of snowmobilers and winter tourism industry," acknowledged the President of the Federation, Denise Grenier, while offering its full cooperation on the matter. "This is great news for the snowmobile industry. I invite all snowmobilers to enjoy their sport while discovering the wealth winter and hospitality found in all regions of Quebec, "was keen to stress the Tourism Minister Dominique Vien. Here is the link to the French version of the release. So, as usual, sledders are more then welcome in Quebec Snowmobile Trails.

  4. For several days now, the Dubuc bridge across the Saguenay River in Chicoutimi is not accessible to cars. Fortunately, there are many bypasses travelers can use to cross safely from one bank to another. The following information is intended to snowmobilers who want to visit the north shore of Saguenay where is the massif des Monts-Valin. For those who want to cross with a trailer: the Carcajou bridge (Alma), Kénogami Bridge (Jonquière) and Tadoussac ferry are bypasses recommended. Note that it is impossible to cross with a trailer on the Arvida aluminum bridge whoever, cars are allowed. For those who want to cross with their snowmobile: Trans-Quebec Trail #23 in Alma (Île-Maligne bridge) and Tadoussac ferry are bypasses recommended. Note that it is impossible to cross by snowmobile on the Arvida aluminum bridge (Regional Trail #367 ) and on the local path of Saint-Charles-de-Bourget, because the Saguenay River is still not enough safe. Lastest news about the bridge and sled trails are available at www.snowmobilersparadise.com or at Snowmobilers Saguenay Club web site Here is the map of the Saguenay bypasses :
  5. Of what I know, I think they got what they wanted. Othewise, the trails would still be close today. Have a great winter.
  6. This afternoon, the Quebec Union Farmer (UPA) and the Province of Quebec governement settle their dispute wich mean that all the trail blocade is lifted. It will take some days for the snowmobile club to groom their trails and fix the signs. It's why we'll have to wait for the next week for the whole network to be back on track again. Keep yourself informe and visit the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean official snowmobile site or the site of the Quebec snowmobile federation. Hope to see you soon on the trails.
  7. The snowmobile season is now officially open. The Caribou-Conscrits club is actually grooming 300 km of trails. This friday and for sure the whole week-end the Monts-Valin will be the destination for all the sledders. Form more information just follow the news on the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean official snowmobile website : www.snowmobilersparadise.com Keep in mind that you only have 13 days left before December 9th when the trail permit price rise to 300$ CDN (240$ before the 9th). You can buy your permit with Pay Pal security on our site. And for those you can join us on the trail, just dream of it with this video. A nice WE to all the sledders.
  8. Hello Sledders, The Caribou-Conscrits club in the Monts-Valin, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (Quebec) region, announced Friday, November 5th that 600 km (372 miles) of trails will be open at the end of November. So far these will be the only trails open to sledders this winter. You may have heard about the conflict between the Quebec Farmers Union and the Quebec Governement. Basically, the farmers have decided to block access to their land in protest of government policy. This means that a portion of snowmobile trails which pass through these agricultural lands are not accessible for the moment, the exception being the 600 km of trails in the Monts-Valin area. This situation might be resolved at any moment so we will do our best to keep you informed. If you want to follow the events yourself, we invite you to visit the news section of our site www.snowmobilersparadise.com. From the same site, you can order our new trail map or a trail acces pass. We also invite you to participate in our snowmobile topic poll. You could receive our new waterproof trail map. Keep in touch or keep in touch with Saguenay Bill who knows the trails more then me.
  9. Hello, To answer you, the KM 12 is near the junction of the regional 328 and the local trail 264 along the Bras de l'enfer. At this place you have a parking lot where you can parc your truck, unload your sled and hit the trails. Attach to this mail I have enclosed a map of the trails who'll be open this weekend. Share it. If you have any other question, feel free to ask.
  10. Hello sledders, Nothing is yet official, but the Monts-Valin Caribou-Conscrit Club is working to open 100 to 125 miles of trail this weekend (December 12th).
