Others do it on the fly. Depends on your destinations. If its a Fri or Sat I would book at least a week ahead. If its a outfitter they can get full from groups. Its easy IMHO to change reservations if needed on the fly. I also prefer the nicer hotels, so if you could care less as long as there is a bed than on the fly is fine. 2 Carman and PLAYHARD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mid Range 139 Report post Posted February 13 Parked in Roberval...leaving for chibougamau today. Trying to avoid as much as possible this storm. That's why we changed our itinary. No more st-raymond. We rode on hard trails for the past 4 days. Great conditions and gas consumption at its best. 3 Snobeeler, snowfarmer and Sled Dog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAYHARD 1,093 Report post Posted February 13 We'd been watching (obsessing) over the weather and believed the heavy snow band was passing across the south, so we decided to come up to Kanawata from Shawini yesterday over the park thru Mattawin & Repo and the new MINT go-around that passes Chateau Vert. Definitely no need to take the sanded road and miss such a great ride. Three of us are leaving Kanawata this morning, 60mi to top gas at Wemo, 60 more to top @ 22, then 60 more to Odanak. That's our story. Beside! Mario here says: "Snowmobiles... are for snow!" 6 Roger, snowfarmer, groomer and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone remember the trail when Chateauvert was open and when you came up 345 just past Dam Gilardo the trail went right then went up and crossed the Riviere Rats road and bypassed Repos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
