crazysnow Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Me and Bill were talking and thinking western Québec. Please give us your thoughts.I was thinking Clova the first night and then Val-'d Or the "Forestel" the Second night....... I think Clova Can handle US if we book early. Look this is a great site and let's keep it going. Edited July 23, 2013 by crazysnow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm In or should I say We are in. We are thinking of riding in, so we/I am already looking over the maps trying to find a snow suit rental place. Any Suggestions? GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600IQHO Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am looking on heading west 2X next winter and I usually make a stop in Clova anyway. I will have to wait and see how the dates work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I second Clova, Tamarac's a nice spot for a Gathering, little out of the way for driving in but riding in would be the start of a trip. Forestel nice hotel too and can handle a big gang............and there's the Red Light. Call it John so we can begin reserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Snowman Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm in. Tamarac then Forestel sounds great. They just finished a huge lobby renovation at The Forestel & their food is excellent. Big Al & Snowhite would love to host QR night 1.

Scranton1 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think a date later in the season to ensure a higher probability of good conditions would be more appealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmk Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Location sounds good the family and I will be at the rabaska over New years. Is a tentative date say 10th of January possible? Would save me more air line tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would save me more air line tickets. Or you could stay until March! That would also save on airline tickets. Jan. 10th is a little early snow depth and connectivity could be a problem that early, unless they get dumped on early like last year.

The snow will be fine its left me down 5 times just signage might be touch and go Side note I was near your place on the 4th cabella's and candy's ice cream stop on rt61 by the hardware store truevalue Edited July 23, 2013 by rmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doo4adoo Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I like Clova and Val D'or as well. I might suggest that the start be Mt Laurier to Clova and then Val D'or. Its easy for people to get to Mt Laurier. Clova by truck is likely an adventure which we all like but..... The run by sled is doo able and then if people wanted they could loop down from Val D'or to Mt Laurier, a bit longer of a run but for die hards can be done in a day. From past experience early January would be pushing to get decent trails. My .02 cents Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'll throw my 2cents in, I say end of January, March to me is the Gaspe' Clova is great but I won't go near Mt laurier or St. Zenon ever again, I'll meet ya in Clova then West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, where did I put the trailer? hmmm I should put a flag on it or something.... If I had a say on dates, mid-late Jan or early-mid March.

Yep you were pretty close! I was thinking 3rd or 4th week of Feb. would be a good week for the gathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysnow Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looks like everybody so far likes " CLOVA " so I think we should lock that In .... I talked with Carole from the Tamarac and they have room for 21 people with their own bed ....if you wear a wig with your parthner there's room for 28 sharing a bed and there's also the Auberge Clova " the old school house " walking distance from the Tamarac and they can sleep about 30 I'm not to sure about that # and they also have big cabin for rent that sleeps 15 or 16 I'm working on the dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
