markusvt Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 The 31 is convenient, located at KM31 on the auto road. Other side of the mountain from where you are, but not far. Same car ride from Chicoutimi, a bit steeper road. Small rooms, gas, food, all on the trail, pretty big parking lot. From where you are, if you have gone to Chapelle Jalobert, you went by it on the left, set back from the trail a bit. The Bra Louis should be nice from Valinouet over to the KM31, not far. Out around Lac Casey should be OK too. No its a new spa called leternelspa.com we are staying in a small chalet. Is the auberge 31 nice? Nice! A couple of pictures from today.

RoadRunner Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 How much snow? Markusvt, There was more snow than the run to labrieville, but still not an over abundance. 6-10" of concrete, with 3-5" of fluff on top. The entire area needs a good snow event.

Early Rider Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Am I missing something here, all that fuel for a 260 mile loop? I thought you guy's where going to the North Pole LOL! Plans changed and we had a 800 cat with us get 10mpg at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes, looked a bit thin, (but it is snow I know). Hoping for more when we go week of the 26th. No extra fuel, but we will venture out no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Linda, Did you make it on the trail to les Escoumins? Markus, I am praying like you that there is another snow event before long, Shannon and I headed up on Thursday. With all these fresh pics, I can almost taste it now... The Saint Honore location on the weather network website says snow fall warning for the Falardeau and Mont Valins region! SWEET!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow nice pics folks, i was away in the country the last few days and we had some snow but no where near as much as there, at least not ridable material, i am so jealous. Linda Nice to see that new sled of yours up and running, a real beauty, nice color too. Don't stuff it or you'll lose it. LOL. Leternelspa.com nice place, great for those aching muscles at the end of the day. How did you ever find a place like that given where you live and never been in the area? good stuff. Road Runner Labrieville and back, nice trip and nice navigational skills you guys got, you guys are real troopers. Thanks for all those pics and reports of the area folks, i guess i'm gonna go and sit on my sled now and watch some sledding videos and pretend till the white stuff gets a little closer.

Have a good trip, I may be back up in that area that week if we dont get snow closer to home!!

Greg du Vermont Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Lots of great photos of the AdmdQ video shoot on their facebook site. Even some QR's in the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Checked out the webpage but could not find trail conditions -- That's because they're not grooming yet, when they will officially start, it will be posted and how many klms by the week untill the entire club is groomed. Keep watching but more importantly keep watching the weather forecast and judge accordingly. Take a look at the web page now BLack Cat, there will be notice advising all viewers of how many klms of trails are open and where. http://www.caribouconscrits.com/english/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Where was I? When I had lunch at Auberge 31, I rode the lake (frozen) and was wondering if someone could tell me where I was lol. What is the name of the lake? And as much as Auberge looked nice...is there options for accomodations? Are there places that like people that can't speak french or is that just not going to happen there? Thanks!

markusvt Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) "Small rooms, gas, food, all on the trail, pretty big parking lot". You rode Mont Valin between Valouinet and relais Chapelle at Lac Jalobert, I suspect you rode on Lac Jalobert behind the Chapelle. Where was I?
