gkw Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just talked to Hotel Brunante in St Anne des Monts and he told me he just got word that the trails have been closed. At least around there. Yuk. GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I just reserved us 2 rooms at The Delta for the week of the Gathering. Just to cover our butts. Special Weather Statement says warm and rain expected in southern regions of Quebec with LSJ area expecting mostly snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Whaler, We're not out there but the site shows that the clubs are still grooming. We may be going out there next weekend. Maybe someone is there this weekend that can post real time conditions. Where is the Mayor? Mike, are you going out there next weekend, March 5th 6th?

Phil 1 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 How did things survive? Can't believe this weather..... Jean-Guy was grooming I know he is East of BSL but it looked pretty good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Jack, I'm not going to chance it. Going to Jonquiere next weekend for the week. More of a sure bet. It was a toss up, pretty girls in RDL or great snow in Jonquiere. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 OK Mike. I just made reservations at Universal. Jason and Yushen are coming up with us and it is just for the weekend. Not enough time to drive up to LSJ so we will leave the truck at Levis and ride to RDL. There are plenty of pretty girls at LSJ too. I heard they like NASCAR mechanics!

gkw Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Big snow forecast from Montmagny to RDL and east. I am headed up to Montmagny and trudge through the storm to RDL tomorrow. Can someone give me info on the hotel in Amqui? I am hoping to stay there Tuesday night and then find a loop back to RDL Wednesday and another loop to Montmagny for Thursday.

smclelan Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 My favorite is the Hotel Select, good clean place, with a good bar and great food. Very snowmobile friendly with lots of ground floor walk out rooms. Right next to the Select is the Ambassador, also a great spot with good food and if I remember a nice bar too. It has been a few years since I have stayed there. The other big plus to this place is they offer secure indoor parking for sleds. I have stayed at both and recommend either without hesitation.

mikerider Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 At the gathering last year, I thought the food was excellent at the Selectoral. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clk1x Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Jack & Sandy , Please let us know what you find in RDL. headed up the 16th weather permitting.

revct1 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 We are ready. Reservations are made. I will probably post on the thread I started during an earlier trip this year. The new post will bring it to the top. Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkw Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Rode Montmagny to RDL via 5E to 55S to St Pamphile to 557 to 5 to the northern route by the river on 526. Lots of new snow overnight last night. 6-12 inches. Most of the trails today were awesome. Huge storm coming Wed. Decided to stay and ride from RDL rather than head to Amqui tomorrow. But did have one mishap near 526. That right ski is under water!! An hour later (and two wet feet) we were back on the trail. Met two sleds all day, but met them twice so that equals 4 - in 180 miles!!! Edited March 1, 2016 by gkw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Glad to hear of the good conditions. Isn't that the tunnel that has been closed for a few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkw Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Closed?? Really??? I was wondering when we were water skipping through the middle of it... Fresh snow hid any tracks and all I could do was follow the GPS. Coulda used ya yesterday, Mike. Russ wanted to take the short route to RDL and save 10 miles. But the rest of the day was pretty epic.

revct1 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Gary, is that the little tunnel under the highway near Universal that you have to duck your head because it is so low? I remember that from years ago. It wasn't fun then either. We will be at Universal Saturday night for one night if you are still there.

We also went through that tunnel which is still open! The one we went through (almost) was closed according to Mike a couple years ago. We are hanging around the hotel and riding local tomorrow and hope to get back to Montmagny Thursday AM. I think the trails will be the best all season by this weekend!
