The big change this year is insurance related... i'm not sure if it have already been discussed here but here are the facts
There is an increase of legal proceeding against snowmobile clubs in the last years, especially this last spring there is one that ended up with a $3 000 000 settlement against Rouyn Noranda snowmobile club and there are others pursuits pendings... https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/practice-areas/personal-injury/snowmobile-club-negligent-for-a-tree-stump-that-permanently-injured-a-man-quebec-superior-court/376167
It not only increase the insurance fees for the clubs/FCMQ to get covered but also tend to be an insurability problem and if no company want to insure... no snowmobile clubs will take the chance to open a trail. It's not a joke it is a very serious issue.
So this season each snowmobile club have to follow some new security rules for trails opening, all the signs and opening work on trail need to be complete and they have to fill up a form that they sign and send to fcmq before activate the dozer GPS and the trails can show up open in Imotoneige. They need to do that to make the trails safer and protect insurability of the system in the future.
Other than that are the usuals bugs and delays that can happen with Imotoneige system and the clubs volunteers those lasts days are more on trail work than the web for sure!
We were almost on dirts just a week ago and there are between 2 and 3 feets of snow to the ground right now after this second storm yesterday in my area and many others. Imotoneige picture will change a lot in the next week...
 

This and a court system that has common sense which, of course I know is a pipe dream these days generally speaking. You are on a snowmobile. You hit a log or a stump or a water crossing on the trail and you sue. Are you shitting me? should not there be some assumed risk when doing this?

Yes for a bit more up to date info most of the snowmobile clubs have their web/facebook page. For my backyard Lanaudiere/Mauricie I had helped them last season to update their clubs list that should be now good https://www.snowmobilecountry.ca/en/snowmobile-clubs/
For each club you click on you have a small facebook sign that you can click on to acces their page. It's mainly in french but with google translate you should be able to find what you  are searching for

Very surprised it has taken this long for this to be implemented here in Quebec.
It makes sense. I would rather they take the time and verify all is good.
sad that they need to worry about being sued. Welcome to 2024.

Towing said just exactly what I expected when I saw the question.  The FCMQ has always held back on posting trails open till signage is in place.  I have seen this for years.  A law suit that should not have gone against the club gets everyone up tight and adds new regulations.
Also as Towing said, it was grass a week ago, clubs need time to set up trails.
Thanks for sharing Alain.

If anyone wants to try this, it worked for me on another forum, but who knows if that will solve the problems here. I'm sure it's different for every browser and operating system, so you may have to do things different. I'm using the latest Chrome on Windows 11.
If you go up to the URL section at the top, you'll see "Not secure". Left-click on it and select "Site settings", a new tab will appear as shown below. Select "Privacy and security". Scroll down to "insecure content" and set it "Allow". I also did this for "pop-ups and redirects" and "intrusive ads" for the heck of it. Note that this only effects quebecrider and none of the other sites you visit.
