A group of us did almost that exact same route last year. Except we went from alma across to Relais 22 (on the way back). Not much snow last year that is for sure. I believe we were gone for 7or 8 days. I personally don't like the northern route to chibougamau, but did like the otherside from chibougamau to the lake. Very open and fast, we had to keep waiting for the 2strokes that came along. It's nce when you can leave for a trip like this from close to home. Good luck you will have a blast!

Dunchurch recieved about 2-3"

Even with the heated space and plug in I have to make sure my charging cable is good so I can get full charge. There is an app for Android called Ampere That I used to verify my phone was taking more Juice than it was using. It's an older phone and is used only for navigation. I had found that some of the cheap cables were not charging quick enough and I would eventually loose battery power. But I would have to think that a wireless charger may not put out enough power.

Ordered one on the last day, received this email a day or so ago.... Your trail permit without insurance transaction has been validated by the Quebec Federation of Snowmobile Clubs . You can expect a delay of 21 days maximum before receiving your trail permit by mail. Thank you for your purchase and have a great snowmobiling season.

That looks great, thank you for some inside info! A group of will be heading there coming Saturday for 8 days! We will try to stay out of alma st Jean areas. We may head north of lac st Jean through valin around tudussac to saugaunay then down Mt apical and stay at la tuque. I hope they get snow, but does not look promising.

Yep missed again.......as of now (7am) there is only 4 inches on the ground where we are (30 min north of PS). doesn't look like we are going to get too much snow. hoping that the wind changes or something and it hits us.

I know you can park in dunchurch down by the outdoor arena. There is a park by the lake in mckellar you may be ok with as well for the day. Go north or east, snow is pretty thin near parry sound thus far.

Picked up the new sled today, look forward to riding the new doo! I didn't get the additional lights and I am thinking I should upgrade the headlights.

i love all the covered bridges in that area!

I was told that mine is supposed to ship this week according to the dealer. We will see. Glad that you have at least one for now.

Yes to the studded track and scrachers, I would not want to do it without.. when we did it, was not a stitch of snow

Friend took me out last year riding over the island, we got to the island from south of the swing bridge. The conditions were not the greatest when we did it, as it was glare ice, but it did look rather safe other than the 5 or so bubblers that we had to skip. I'm sure we could have went around them, but as a follower i followed...lol I don't know what the safe time frame is for sledding across. Closer to the upcoming season, i could send you some gps tracks that we took. We ended up getting off at Glenn Burney marina and hopping on the fitness trail and heading north.

If you still have a problem, Georgian bay trailers is the one mentioned above off of ostler park drive. If its a bolt you just need? hit up parry sound auto parts or muskoka auto parts. I am always in parry sound, usually daily if you should need a hand or any tools.

They have some heavy equipment in on the hydro line doing work in that section. i seen a excavator there last week on my way by, not quite sure what they are doing, because i had thought that there was already a new bridge over the creek in that area. There maybe a little lake jump around that spot, but like you i always run nine mile.

My sidewinder 141 xtx has a 1.6 cobra, and i just hit 17k km for the track. It still looks like great, and i should get another few seasons out of it. I put in dupont sliders 2 years ago. I do not ride roads too often(when i can avoid them), and i am careful not to hammer it in low snow conditions. For my riding i will most likely stick to the 1.6, but if i think i was going to road ride alot and hammer it on low snow/rocky conditions i would for sure want something smaller.
