Nice run Alex.  That area is great for sure.  Thanks for posting the pics. Have fun.  Is the hotel nice?

It’s nice Mike but it’s nowhere near as nice as the Universal.

Going to throw the towel in with recent forecast (and we were going to drive north into Abitibi) as a “red wave” is going to engulf the motherland late next week. (On already sparse conditions in most areas)

Don't throw down just yet Chris.  The forecast is bleak, but it keeps changing.  We are holding out for a quick hit next week after the warm spell and Abitibi just might be the answer.

Hey Chris,

We have the same plan of heading up there on March 4. Today’s warm-up and then the warm up and heavy rain for next Wednesday-Thursday have me concerned for sure. I hope the forecast changes. Be nice for a big nor’easter instead!

Day3: 254 total miles. The temperature dropped like a rock last night making for excellent trails all day lost count of all the groomers I passed trails are on tip top shape here! Was a very cold day high of only 3 or so but that makes for the best conditions! Todays ride took us south of Amos to Malartic to top off fuel then over to Rouyn then up to La Sarre then back over to Amos to complete the loop all trails were excellent! Anyone who’s not up here is missing out big time. Some pictures from the day enjoy!

Next time I need to listen to you.   Did you need your spare gas often on those high speed trails?  I think my 600R would be out at the 100 mile mark.

You definitely should have come along! I’ve used it once or twice there’s actually pretty many gas stations here to refill I’m maxing out like 105-110 miles per tank

Abitibi is always the answer-go for it!

Day 4: 298 total miles epic day! More amazing riding cold nights and days really make excellent trails! 90% of the trails today were 9.5/10 just simply awesome! Today ride took us from Amos over to Seneterre then up to Quévillon the the trail between the two places which is TQ93 might be one of the best stretches of trail I’ve ever ridden in Quebec! After lunch in Quévillon back down 93 to Seneterre then continuing south to Lac Simon for fuel. After that we did a loop north of Val’dor to take us back into Amos!

Great trip you guys are having! Abitibi Temiscamingue is by far my favorite snowmobiling area in Quebec. TQ93 between Amos & Senneterre is on the list of best trails in Quebec. 

Yep-Barraute to Senneterre is a must do!

Day 5 215 total miles. A bit of a snowy day today so not as many pictures they don’t look as pretty haha. Tons of sleds today guess everybody is out anticipating, perhaps the end of the riding season unfortunately. Since all the traffic trails were a bit more bumpier than normal, but still not bad at all. Decided to head down to Rapide 7 so left amos south to Rivière-Héva then to Malartic then continued down the 309 to Rapide 7. Back up 309 then into Val’dor and then snaked our way back to Amos the long way!

Such beautiful trails, will 2 mild days and 5- 10mm of rain on Tues/Wed be enough to end it ?

 

It’s hard to say they have a lot of snow here, but warm temps and rain will do a lot of damage. The weather for the next 10 days looks absolutely horrible thinking this season is close to being over in most areas of Quebec.

Well i booked the hotels today in hopes there's still snow left after Wed . Going to trailer right to Lebel Q and run 3 days , 2 up to Chibougameau and back and 1 to Matagami and back. Forecast is showing 5-10cm after rain is over and cooler temps, so fingers are crossed.
