We are dropping the truck off in Ville Marie on Thursday and just need to get to Rouyn.     I am sure that things will be minty by the weekend.     The Matagami loop is the only thing that I can see possibly being scratched this weekend.       We are planning on heading back up again next weekend for a season ender.

Yes Middle Brook Cabins great stay there and phenomenal trails/backcountry in that area  . Craig took us there the week before SnowTrax crew was coming in we were the Guinea pigs for the tour he was going to do with them lol. 

Yes definitely closed

Laforce is 100% closed and boarded up. We did Val do'r to Latulipe it was 181kms. no problems for our group. 1-XRS 900 turbo R, 1- Sidewinder with 240 tune, 1- 850 XRS and 1- Attack 1000   

Thanks. Two of us independently checked 511on Monday AM between 9:30 and 10:30 looking for highway 11 closures, and didn't find any. We weren't looking at the camera shots, however. Lots of travellers in the hotel this morning in the same boat. We heard this AM in NB that the highway was closed Monday around 8 AM, but the closure posting on 511on came closer to noon. Others said the weathernetwork roadmap showed the closures around 10:30. Too late for us by then we were on the road - fat, dumb and happy! We should have been more persistent this morning in try to find the expected opening time, but that seems to be kept a secret. Could have got 3 days riding in. Unfortunately we had to get home Saturday.
