Nice report , Thanks !

Not that great of advise , I got a nice $325 fine a few years ago by la tuque.(139kph) What is not on that list of fines are the extra fees that each town will add on , in my case it was an extra $175! With the mirror deal , i have had a hassle a few times (no fine tho) now i just run with a real mirror.

With the area forcast you will be in fine shape ... lots of cold weather and there is plenty of snow in that part of Quebec.

As of 12/30 there was no grooming past Lac des Coeurs ... about 20 miles of wind blown bumpy single track to the C 900 junction , then it gets a little better the last 10 to the Lac Brumes junction.

Nice ! what a great trail ... as fast as you dare to ride !

I found the snow .. Just had a nice 4 day 800+ mile trip on my new 2012 1200X .. North of the Saguenay river.

By the looks on the traffic cams it's starting to build up a little at a time in town. http://www.quebec511.gouv.qc.ca/en/cameras/saguenay/index.asp

Feliz Navidad a todos aka BajaDoo

116 is a short local trail, maybe 5km long . it connects with 117, thats the trail that equipements villeneuve (ski doo dealer) is on.

Your cell phone is only good for playing games/ taking pics in 99% of the valin area. Heck , the clock even goes to all zeros with my phone in most places up there.

Well rates are from 07/08 and it's posted for sale .... i would think , not open

Yes it is , the place is at the gateway to the ZEC. I think it's closed and for sure it's for sale as posted on that site. Our group had a stay there back in 07.

Nice , Thanks for the info guys !

Thanks for the updates. Sounds like you had a great day on the trails ! Any plans to check out the pelchat trail ?

Hey Grump I think what momojonny was getting at was maybe a dealership that far north (chibougamau) could give you some useful advise on how to make that deal happen

I'm sure at this point most all places on valin are booked , your best bet is to stay at the holiday inn saguenay ( a advertiser on this site) and truck up to the snow each day.

You found winter ! Thanks Iceman

Great news !

I'm not sure cobra makes one for the XR , it's not the same as the XP style Yours looks good painted black like that.

Je me Souviens !

Just a FYI ..... What is a ZEC ? click this link , more than you ever want to know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZEC

Great pics , lots of heavy snow in the trees. DO you get to that park out rt.117 north? , it mustbe 3 plus hrs. from Montreal.
