Quebec City, September 10, 2007 – More than 400 representatives of clubs from across the province belonging to the Quebec Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (FCMQ) will be meeting at the Château Mont-Ste-Anne in Beaupré on September 13, 14 and 15. The theme of this year’s convention is Opération 100 000…moi j’embarque! The presidents and directors of snowmobile clubs will explore solutions that will ensure the development and continued practice of snowmobiling in Quebec’s regions. Participants will be able to attend workshops on the clubs’ various activities, management of the trail network, and the media and communications. The Quebec Ministry of Transport and the Sureté du Québec will present a joint workshop on the new laws that come into effect this season, as well as the presence of SQ agents on the trails. “We would like to take the opportunity of this meeting to review our methods for managing club members. It is imperative that volunteers get involved so we can better control access to our trails. This improvement is necessary to ensuring that snowmobilers can enjoy this exciting activity safely and under optimal conditions,” said Jean-Luc Sylvain, FCMQ president and a native of the region that is hosting this year’s convention. About the FCMQ The Quebec Federation of Snowmobile Clubs develops and promotes snowmobiling, an activity practiced by nearly one million Quebeckers and a sector that generates more than $1.5 billion in annual economic benefits. The Federation consists of 220 clubs representing more than 75,000 members. With support from 4,560 volunteers, the Federation’s affiliated clubs manage the sale of access permits for the 31,600-kilometre trail network in Quebec and ensure the network’s development, maintenance, signage and safety.

I could say a few like Hotel Villa mon repos in LaSarre is a great place. Hotel Forestel in Val d'Or.Those are my favourites when touring Abitibi..

I will second that........gaz,beer and food all at the same place.Having a cold one after a day of riding is a religion to me

Of course....the thing is,we like to leave from home.We would need trailers but we never need one back at home.But one day........We have to see our country

a-w-e-s-o-m-e pics groomer.....every year we are suppose to go to Gaspésie but........ending up somewhere else

impossible to name one...there are too many.ABITIBI offers awesome trails such as 386 between villebois and Matagami. TQ 93 between LBQ and Senneterre 83 between Cadillac and Val d'Or for instance.......Beauce area offers some pretty nice trails as wellSaguenay also TQ 93 heading toward Sacré-Coeur(wow!!!!)Mauricie area: Private trail 369 between Pourvoirie Lac du Repos and Casey. fast your seatbelt!!and the list goes on...........

Like we,Québecers say, Bienvenue Belle sur le site.Ben oui un autre site de skid

right!!!...... and you can order them online for free and they will ship them for free....well at least in Québec.As for the trails goes.You never know which one can be closed.That's why forums like this one here exist!!

Perfect!!

A guide in Québec by the name of Léo Lalancette had published a book 2 years ago .Title of the book is ''Le guide du motoneigiste'' which included charts with distances for every region of Québec.

Welcome aboard!!!!!!!!

Good post...I too am a volunteer for my club.I work on signage and never asked a penny from my club.I pay my own gaz.

Tom.......there are so many options for saddle bag trips.What I would suggest you is to go on http://www.bonjourquebec.com/ If you are from the US.... click on United States, then.....Tourist regions....you will see a green map of Québec.From there you can browse all regions across the Province...For any regions,scroll down until you see ''Useful links''.You can order snowmobile Maps and Brochure ONLINE.......Very neat. P.S. it's too early yet to order them.

Right on Guyzoun !!!!!!!!

Bernard svp ici c'est en francais que ca se passe.Merci!!!

How about Captain Morgan as a chaser

Yep.......I agree with you.not much different that going to Cuba for a week. $1.00can/ mile: Make sense to me.

Looks like we have a bunch of guys riding the eastern part of the Province.... Where are we???

Down the Hill (Devil's mountain)

According to me........it doesn't look that bright but I hope I'm wrong.But Why....... -Bad resale value on sled.The market is simply not there.Paid my sled 12,400 CAD last year.Worth near 6,000 on the bluebook as of last saturday. -Landowners issues -Lack of volunteers -Less members across the Province.So less incomes for clubs. -Many clubs are not in bankruptcy but not too far off.Many of them can't keep up. -Groomers are very expensive. -etc.......... We are defenitively not in the 90's anymore....... What you guys think

Aventure Joncas on Trans-Québec 63 in the Lavérendrye Park.150 miles east of Ville-Marie.

Right on!!!! Would have been a good pic for the ''Where am I quiz''.

I read the paper on a daily basis and no news on the incident.No words as well on the Québec forum.

There was talks last winter about getting one for the monts-valin.No words yet.
