Saguenay Bill Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 NOTICE: I will not be able to take any further orders for trail passes as I am heading for Paradise next week. If anyone would like them I will have them for sale at the HI. Thanks to those who have supported us. Bill I have received Quebec Trail Passes and they are for sale either by using PayPal link or by mailing me a check. 100% of the money I receive goes to the club. The clubs need every dollar they can get in order to maintain the trails that we all love. I will be posting some facts shortly regarding cost, equipment replacement and other info on trail grooming by the clubs in the Saguenay region. As some of you are aware the Caribou-Conscrits club grooms about 6 months out of the year which is about twice what a lot of other clubs do. So for those who like riding in "Paradise" please show your support by buying your pass from them. I need the following info to register your sled: Your name, address, phone number, email address (new requet this year), make, model,year, vin number and registration number. By that I mean the number on the sticker that you have applied to your sled. Example: if you live in PA but register your sled in NY and that NY sticker is on your sled, that is the number I need. Trail pass prices are: Seasonal pass purchased Dec 09 2007 or after $250 US or 250 CA* 7 day weekly $150 US or $150 CA* * Prices are subject to change as value of US dollar vs Canadian changes. Thank you for your support. See you at the Holiday Inn. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Bill, Does the $25 dollar savings come out of what the clubs get, or the National Org. If it does, buying early only hurts the clubs and Us? Thanks Gutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBLER Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 question? not that it actually really matters, but for general info, if we pay by pay pal, are the funds taken out in canadian or us dollars, reason I ask is because I am pretty sure that I get charged 1% for a foriegn transaction fee which will mean in reality it costs 1% more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, buying early only hurts the clubs and Us? Thanks Gutz The $25.00 after the 9 Dec goes 90% to the Federation. So what a bummer. We would like a piece of the action to Groom. That new money is not going to the right place. What do you guyes think????. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm going to try and buy my passes before the 9th, and donate 25.00 to the grooming fund. Or buy my passes later and donate 25.00 to the grooming fund. The cost in comparison to everything else is so small. Later Gutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I agree Gutz. It is undoubtedly the best $250 youll ever spend. Dinner and 1 night on the town will set you back $250 and riding is much more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new money is not going to the right place. What do you guyes think????. I have to disagree with you on this Bernard. Being closely involved with the executive committee of Nova Scotia's provincial snowmobile association, is it possible you may not know the whole story? 1.) Are you 100% sure the whole $25 dollars goes to the Federation or is this a rumor? 2.) If it is true, then that decision would have had to be made by the Board of Directors representing all clubs in the province. This would have been voted on and the majority would rule. I can assure you no provincial or state snowmobile body wants to have to increase the price of their trail pass. They know as well as anyone the cost of operating clubs, groomers, and/or an individual snowmobile. Believe me these provincial snowmobile bodies hear all the complaints about the cost of organized snowmobiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg du Vermont Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Bill, Thanks for your Ambassadorship and support of Quebec clubs in the Saguenay region. It's great to support clubs where you ride and the clubs that maintain the trails the lead to where we like to ride. For 20+ years I have enjoyed riding throughout the belle province. I have belonged to clubs across quebec. For the last several years I have been a member of the snowmobile club of Lac St Jean East (UDM Lac St Jean Est). This is a smaller but very important club that maintains trail 23 from L'Etape to Herbertville/Alma/Larouche/Jonquiere. If you like myself, enjoy riding from the Quebec City/St Raymond area to Saguenay, the health of this club is of critical great importance to each of us. Consider joining UDM Lac St Jean this season (This is also the club of the famous Belle de Neiges) With the distance involved in getting all the way to Les Monts Valin area, I often find myself departing from the Quebec area and enjoying the saguenay region and it's many routes. If you have, you know what I mean. If you have not, you should as it is another part of the paradise. Branch out and have a blast. I currently have a limited number of memberships available, which is my way of helping the club. They do all the important work, I help by selling a few memberships for them. E-mail me if you wish to support this critical link club. "UDM Lac St Jean Est" Memberships are the same price as previously posted $250 with the same discounted price $225 for purchases prior to Dec 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
