La Domaine a must gas stop, fuel up there cuz the Indian reserve is 200 k away, La Verendrye is on the way but you must take a 15 k detour down to his place for 2$+\ litre gas, great necessity should you need it but f your early enough to buzz through you'll need to make a judgement call pending on trail status a sled fuel consumptions. Definitely possible to make the 200 k run if you're prepared. Nope, never been to the Windigo definitely Domaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doonali Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 The next three days will tell the story. I'd guess yes. There was a lot of snow there last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I ran it iwas 280+mi on GPS. If your using Via Explora it'll show less mi. The 63 drops down to La Verendrye lodge this yr. at the 63/386 junction which adds 20mi. gas at La Domaine - La Verendtye - Kitcikak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeman Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Any idea why they show the 93 around Lebel Sur Quellvion as 1 star ? Groomer broke rain damage ? I called Abitibi tourism but got no where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was you I would leave either at restaurant le classic in lytton(northwest of Grand-Remous) or Le Domaine in La verendrye Park. Less bare roads,parking lots,etc to deal with and TQ 13/63 is presently closed courtesy of mother nature(major washout apparently). Another rinse on the way. Pathetic. I hope you have ice scratchers.

We stopped there to get fuel in our truck on our way down from LSQ after picking up ski doo's that blew pistons 2 weeks ago. Was not aware they allow parking there. That is a great spot to park and save a lot of beat up trails from what I hear. So we would leave from there and fuel at La Domaine - La Verendtye - Kitcika. Would that be about a 7 hour ride? We dont stop much but are not crazy fast riders. And where on that stretch can we buy 3 day trail passes? We were all up 2 weeks ago but our trip got cut short by 2 different ski doo's blowing pistons so we want to go again. Mike PS: Thanks for the info. I appreciate people being willing to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backcountry12 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 And yes, I have been watching the weather. Looks like 4-8" of snow after the rain then cold again so I am assuming the groomers will be able to get working again on Thursday after the snow. And we have ice scratchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Call restaurant Classic they probably sell passes there. Last gas is In Indian Reserve. Can't miss it trail goes right past the small store with gas pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Range Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 If you are driving thru Maniwaki area you can buy passes at these locations http://www.oursblancs.com/points-of-sale.html Le Domaine-Val d'Or is +- 190 miles. gas at https://www.pourvoirielaverendrye.com/home and kitcisakik indian reserve on 386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
