we just dropped down from my buddy Andre's house on the Gouin trail to right near Haltaparche to get on the 83 the first day and all the way through Parent to Clova. We were never on a FCMQ trail after that for 3 days. It was good last Saturday as it had just been groomed a few days before with little traffic. It was warming up that Saturday going into Clova and we did pass about 12 sleds heading east towards Parent and being soft the corners were getting bumped up a little. Having not been (nor will be) groomed since then I bet its certainly rideable but not the greatest.
I think Fer a cheval will be taking over the 13 all the way into Parent for next year with Manawan doing Kanawata/Casey/Wemo and Senneterre coming from the west to some point. My friend Andre and his wife have been in/out of the club as officers/president various times over the years and this year Andre has been helping them mechanicly while his wife is helping to co ordinate the club dissolvement. Not knocking the people of Parent but they just cant do it anymore. Too much mis management over the years and no one left to effectively run it the way it needs to be.
Hopefully your average snowmobiler wont even notice the difference next year. God Bless them for doing all they could over the years. Its a BIG, LONG and difficult area to cover.
