josman Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am looking for a place to leave my truck just north of Montreal . I want to drive up early and park and start riding the same day , head north on the snowmobile and spend the night at a hotel on the trail.

Jackstraw Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would try to get as far from Montreal as possible if you want to see your truck and trailer again. Shawinigin is about 21/2 hours North East from the US border with a couple secure spots to leave your truck. Or maybe the St. Zenon area.

momojohnny Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I left one at the Days Inn in Mt Tremblant for 7 days. The trails right across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Berthierville, maybe 1 hr east or so from Montreal on Auto route 40. Say halfway between montreal and trois riveres. Never started a trip there but there are several hotels restaurants and gas all there. Right there is TQ 43 seen many sleds around that area.

stupe Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Berthierville, maybe 1 hr east or so from Montreal on Auto route 40. Say halfway between montreal and trois riveres. Never started a trip there but there are several hotels restaurants and gas all there. Right there is TQ 43 seen many sleds around that area. Yup, stayed at the Days Inn in Berthierville a couple of times. Seemed safe. They even put a boot on my truck which was nice since we never even stayed the night there. Truck was there 5 days later when we got back. Snow is somwetimes a little thin around that area but picks up nicely once you get into the woods.

actionjack Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I left one at the Days Inn in Mt Tremblant for 7 days. The trails right across the street. Mt. Tremblant, or Comfort Inn St. Jovite next to the ice slide park? Last time through St. Jovite was a close to Mt. Tremblant as we could get (as far as anyone that asked knew).

actionjack Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow that sucks, but new grear eh? Saddlebagged to the COmfort Inn and parked the sleds INDOORS. Taxied to Mt Tremblant and skied evening session on a whim after several Bloody Ceasers, then rode over to L'Esterel that night. It was dated but loved Esterel. Anybody been to see Rambo in the past 2 seasons? If they upgraded enough I would like to take the whole family there. Sure do miss Bernard. Gotta be tough for Jocelyn. Last time we were there it was a ghost town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper2 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do youself a favor and drive a little farther, not just for the security but also the trail conditions. Stay away from Berthierville Shawinigan not that great either and Mt. Tremblant is not snowmobiler friendly at all. Years ago alot of people left from St. Donat but in my opinion its too hemmed in. I would go at least to La Glaciere, they have secure parking as does Le Cabanon. Real Masse is another option, I prefer Le Cabanon they have probably the ultimate location, you can park there and stay and ride different trails each day and come back to a nice bar and heated pool and hot tub or you could do a saddlebag trip from there and be in Clova or relay 22 in a days ride. And I don't think they would charge you anything to park in the corral esp. if you stay at least 1 night. Oh they also have a separate corral for the sleds.

actionjack Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 No lecabannon for me. I have a private option in SMDS. I would consider La Glacier but haven't stayed there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been staying there since 1997. I have never had any issues. Real Masse is also a good stop, but no pool or hot tub and on a lot of nights if you come in late the bar and restaurant are already closed. By late I mean 7 or 8 in the evening I rode there for dinner and all was dark. Of course on a busy week they are open much later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
