RoadRunner Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 How long before we can ride good trails south of Mt Valin? You should be able to ride from Clermont up to forestville, also tadousacc to mt valin, not sure about the valley up in Chicoutimi, but the 83 from clermont up to la baie is groomed as far as I know. Groomers are out in force in all these area. It may take a few days to get everything opened up but they are out panning and grooming in many communties. The 8-10" of snow they all received last wednesday should get them up and going. It will be early riding conditions, but passable imo Enjoy RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupe Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 We are about 30 minutes northeast of Quebec city right now and the trails are terrific. Past the groomer heading up 369 toward le tape, and it wasn't the first time that trail was groomed. Trail 3 was groomed perfect. Plenty of snow. Signage is still going up, but lots of sleds out riding. We decided to come up despite what the fcmq site said. Glad we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Out of Stoneham they were riding, out of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré they are riding, so no real need to drive as far. Some riding in the St-Zenon parks and surrounding areas. I think still way to early to do any quality saddlebag trips yet.

This is the area I usually start from on saddlebag trips. Do you know if the ST Anne river, on trail 3 heading east towards Charlevoix is passable?

Do you know if the ST Anne river, on trail 3 heading east towards Charlevoix is passable? Not sure, we only went 50 miles north on 3 out of Beaupre until we hit that relais. It was perfect. Took 369 half way to L'Etape and that was perfect too. Got six inches of snow when we left today. Groomers are out.

One time and you will be hooked for life. I know 29 years and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TILEPRO Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 A drug? Holy sh&t!! You ain't just a kidding. I don't do drugs but I know people that do and if they knew what kind of fun we all were having they would see their addictions swing 180 degrees and then they would see that the drugs they're doing were just as expensive as our sport that we love except this sport fills the heart mind and soul with something greater that no drug can ever describe. Drugs rob you of everything. Snowmobiling gives you everything, in my opinion. Especially fuel and credit card bills, lol but I love it regardless like all on this site.
