Drove up from Vt to Forestville Sunday and met up with Roadrunner our friends from Maine .
Left this morning on rock hard  local trails towards Chenail du Nord  After a quick stop we're off to the Pipmuacan Reservoir. Dropped on down to pourvoirie Itouk to say hi to Luc    the place was rocking on a sunny Monday afternoon  !  Next stop La Chapelle then off to Km31 for the night  . 215 miles for the day 
Was awesome this morning to see and chat with Trailblazer in Forestville and meeting Linda sled girl here at the 31 ! 
Tomorrow,  we'll see .

Here here.  Some ferme signs are more real than others.  Should be easy to understand (and respect).
If it's a farm field with the snow down to the ground, or a plowed logging road with fresh truck tracks...

We did 1,800 km Cote Nord trip starting in Les Escoumins out to Sept-iles at the end of February. Spend 2 nights at the Econolodge in Forestville. Allows us to spend a day riding all the orange trail loops north of Forestville. Beautiful scenic ride, felt like parts of the Gaspe without the water. The warming hut up there is the nicest one we ever came across.. The day we spend there trails we’re perfect,  not a single bump. 
 
We also rode the big loop orange trails north of Baie  Comeau. This is also a beautiful scenic ride. 
The 2 loops north of Forestville and Baie Comeau were the best parts of the trip.

2' of fresh on the magnificent 330?...
 

"Better late than never…"
100%!
Thanks for sharing!
(Except for a little ptsd from the shot with the snow up to the front bumper, but I should be OK after a while!)
 

M&M Tours is off. Left Oliphant Sunday March 17th, pulled into the Best Western Premier Hotel Aristocrate in Quebec City around 8 and had a fabulous dinner at the in house restaurant, La Fenouillière. Off Monday morning and checked in to Complexe Hotelier Escoumins then spent 3 hours trying to find places to stay for them next 5-7 days. 
 
Rode loops for the first 3 days in a variety of conditions…good, bad & ugly mostly due to the new, wet snow even though the groomers were out. Des Bouleaux Blanc clubhouse is a great stop 40 km from town. Thursday morning rode most the day through storm conditions to the ski village Valinouët and stayed at a local rental house, Auberge du Yeti. Rode up 373 as far as we could then spent the night in a cabin at Auberge 31. A quick lunch at Piste D’or was tasty and the owner was entertaining-he sort of reminded us of Bernard 
 
Then back to truck and trailer, 93 did not disappoint-smooth, fast trails. Loaded up and drove to Forestville.

What are friends for ! .. Lol

Did a similar run out of Complexe Hotelier Escoumins starting Wednesday after an 11 hour drive on Tuesday. Ran up to Le Chapelle on 3 and then 93 and back on 350. Thursday up to Forestville on 3 with a heavy wet snow. Got colder and really started to snow later in the afternoon coming back on 330. In the higher elevations it felt like a new foot had fallen on top of 3 feet on the ground. Was a lot of fun bounding through the fresh powder, not very often you get to do that anymore. Then Friday under some bright blue sky (finally) and chilly, headed back toward La Chapelle in the reverse direction over 350 and breaking some trail up in the higher elevations. Looped around to Auberge du km 31 for lunch (great spot) and headed back on mostly groomed trails before sled blew up about 50 miles from Les Escoumins. Wouldn't be a trip without a little bit of towing. Anyway great trip to an otherwise pretty bad season. Wish I took more photos but was too busy riding... and nobody swimming in the pool at the motel.

I'm truly deplorable for not getting my act together enough to post live from up there, or since driving back down in Sunday's butt-puckery road conditions.
I almost made a crumple-zone out of a Honda, between my Nav being pushed down one of the big Charlevoix hills toward the salt/plow truck by the 4-place trailer filled with 5 old-school Yammis!

In all seriousness
congrats Chris on the new ride back in black looking good sure you will get used to it very quickly
 
 

Agreed it’s gonna take a bit of effort but easily achievable.  
Forrestville/Escoumins would still be my pick. Temps staying ok for Groomers to work i see right now at leat until next Thursday. 
 
There are other options. 
 
I almost shouda wanna go truck up there…but aint in the cards.
Season is a wrap. Moving on. 

 

People that like to snowmobile will stay home, snowmobilers will make it happen. 😉

Are you there? 
 

From club yesterday 
Great news.
Our resurfacer is on its way to the stage from Roquemont.
This will be the only trail made by the club
Surfacing will be done a few times this week. It will be announced here.
Parking: club garage, shopping center, rang Saguenay
Good hiking
 
from Today
We are happy to read all your comments about the opening of the stage trail.
I'd love it if you could send me some photos of our trail from our relays. Photos that show the world etc etc.
More good news. The Roquemont is ready to welcome you in its parking lots. So why not encourage them by going there for a meal/drink.
Be careful, there will be resurfacers on the trail and lots of people.
 
Last time I will say this.
i motoneige is useless
 

Yes 
Stop watching conditions online
i-motoneige is as useless as hand signals
