I heard last night from a reliable source that even though there was a section of road running closed near him, the trails by his place weren't affected.

lol, I hope that story is true.

📌 𝗥𝗲́𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝘂 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝗟 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲́𝘀𝗶𝗲 A press release has just been issued announcing the long-awaited reopening of the legendary Sentier de La Cache trail in the Gaspé Peninsula. This iconic 77-kilometer route, connecting Murdochville to Relais de La Cache in the heart of the Gaspé mountains, is once again accessible to snowmobilers. Closed for two winters due to the decommissioning of three bridges in the Chic-Chocs Wildlife Reserve, this strategic link is now fully operational. Thanks to an exceptional mobilization effort, more than $1.6 million in investments have made it possible to: • Rebuild three 60-ton bridges • The upgrading of several kilometers of Provincial Trail 597, including two kilometers in the mountains • Improved drainage • The recertification of the York Campground bridge • The acquisition of a new groomer and scraper 👉 To read the full press release: https://www.fcmq.qc.ca/actualites

Rumour has it that Ontario Premier Dougie Ford found out not to long ago that one of the trails being closed was the closest one to his family cottage!

Lets Go…… Government of Quebec time to step it up!

I've enjoyed staying at Eva, they were always kind to us, we came in one day pretty wet and they let us use their dryers, always liked the heated garage. There must be a way around with out going down the road.

Too bad about Eva. They did a nice job renovating it and was a nice stop on the way to the lake. Hopefully someone takes it over.

Seems something went sideways at a town meeting. The issue seems to be after the gas through town to the lake crossing. According to one comment i read The school board has concerns because of safety of kids at bus stop and people who go to the community mailbox. And another We need to go to the city council to see if the new mayor can find a solution. He knows the people who are blocking the way well. seems to be game off again to pass through Lac Bouchette for now. Subject to change. I know Eva had issues and is close, but no trail is a big issue, maybe they saw the future.

Fake old news ? .. just posted today

Good to see. Hopefully Mother Nature will be on our side this year. Appears to have at least some snow coverage in most of the key areas. Cold weather and small 30cm dumps once a week till New Years would set things up.

Just on the other side of Highway 40 exit ramp for the Colbri.

Probably plowed this season

N46.74941° W71.43636°

Here is the new pick up point on the north side.

Seeing some green on the map. Hopefully more is coming.

That’s brutal. Folks wonder why businesses charge retainers. Nice to see someone taking this over.

Found an answer. Looks like some trail is open as well in this neck of the woods. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DEvciDehV/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Great info, thank you very much! Yeah his trailer was definitely on its last legs… glad he bought a new one and is continuing to help us all out.

4 sleds per trip!

I just spoke to Jean Marc . Very flexible he can start as early as 6am and his new drop off is 2 km west of the Colibri. He prefers to be contacted the day before to set a pick up time. He told me he was burned 3 times last year when people did not show up. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS AS QUEBECRIDERS!!! Pick up same as before Normandin.

Awesome! Thanks for investigating.

Just called Jean Marc now. See my notes below.

What does he have for equipment? 2 place, 4 place, enclosed?
