I will be in the area next Sat. or Sunday. Would love to go there. Comming from Matane. Is there signs? Looks like I go south from Val Brillant on orange trail on map? Also, does anybody have the GPS coordinates of Groomers club house? Thanks

hi snobeeler !!

from amqui ,you must take trail 587 south toward la redemption to go to the ''radar'' or montagne st pierre .you should see that sign near the top.trail could be plowed for 1.5 miles according to a poster on the french forum.they are building wind mills there.

for our clubhouse you can t miss it .just next to tq5 .200' from main street in albertville.

Hi Groomer, thanks for the info. Would Radar Lookout be where I drew the red circle on the map?

val d irene ,it s the ski center .a bit more west for the radar .but i m not a 100% sure ,there s trail for sleds going on top of the mountain at the ski center .i ll e mail friends just to make sure ,if you are interested.

if you stop at a gas station /motel ask if they have the regional map.

Ok, the pin you put on the map looks more west (directly south of Sayabec) as you said. I have a regional map from 2009 but it does not show Radar?

Thanks Groomer, heading north in 1 hour. Maybee we will see you on the trail or clubhouse this weekend.

Hi Groomer, talked to you on the phone from clubhouse Saturday afternoon. We found the "Radar" easy. Like you said, follow 587 toward Redemption. You know when you are close and there was a sign for lookout. What a view. It was also very sunny. Thanks

received an e mail earlier this morning about the radar.where trees are full of snow ,they call that ''zag ''

zone d amplification de givre....'' amplification zone of frost''

not related to sledding ,but here s a video of mount logan in the gaspesie park.the cabin is about 2 miles east of mount logan,for cross country skiers.

can see the towers at 2.07.

Yes, that is very cool. Would you estimate the tower is about 10 miles from where the video was shot?

hi snobeeler !!

i ve been about 15x on mount logan back in the 90's ,last time ,third week of april back in 00.i think i know enough the area there.video has been shot not too far from the cabin,going toward the towers.less than 3 miles from the towers.

looks far, probably because the guy had a wide angle .

rob is probably working on the site ,i ll post pics later.

here s map around mount logan.when the sky is clear ,you can see the wind mill in cap chat.

pic 1 :i was within 500' of the cabin.

pic 2:view from the top.mount mattawee (first) ,collins and fortin

pic 3:last steep hill before arriving to the towers,max 3/4 of a mile ahead.cabin is on the right.from the left,usually climb between sled 2 and 3 .once on top .don t forget to make a sharp left turn,very steep on the right.

pic 4 :about 55 miles east from town,roughly 8 miles before arriving to the faribault camp.mount albert in the back.

back in the 60's, maybe 70's too ,bombardier went there to test sleds.
