I did 474kms(295miles) yesterday from St-Gabriel de Brandon to Mattawin via St-Zénon with the loop around the Taureau lake on the return.
The trail conditions vary from excellent to ruff depending where because they don't groom anymore, but there's still alot of snow... except aroud St- Michel village where we begin to see some earth spots.
Mt-Vallins and Gaspe will now offer better rides but are way farther so I'm happy with what I got here. I don't know what is the weather forecast for the next week but it can change fast... not sure what to expect for the next weekend???
I don't want to translate all the report I did in french but you can check it here: http://www.motoneigeauquebec.com/forum/ ... 26mars2011
If you need specific information, just ask...
Bye

In St-Gabriel, you can park at municipal parking near the main road (347 road) just past the village. You will see a restaurant called "La belle Province" on the right, you turn right on the little road just past the restaurant and the parking is indicated. From there, you can reach the trail that cross the main road just a little farther down the hill.
An other option is to start from St-Damien de Brandon at the Harnois gaz station on the 347 road. The trail pass in their parking. From there on snowmobile, you cross the road to the right from the gaz station and take the trail that go up north in the mountains...
Don't wait too long, warm temps on the forecast for the next days...

Considering what I was expected at the end of january for the season end, I'm happy to still be able to ride...
