We just got back from Val-D'or yesterday, we was stuck with weather for 3 nights Sunday to Wednesday at Forestel hotel not cheap place to stay $400 for a night, but no choice. We was trying to go on trail Monday and Tuesday but no chance to ride 240km at that condition without any sign or trail. Finally we got our on Wednesday -26C on ungroomed 309 trail. It was tough as It was me and my wife only. Always check the weather and have a couple extra days.

Another place to look into by Corner Brook   The Experience - Snoxcapes

So how many other gems for riding are out there! Beauty pictures and looks like an awesome place to go as well. Thanks for sharing and it is nice to have a thread just with this info vs. being lost in another one that might get easily overlooked.  

I did find Silver Mountain Lodge when googling some info prior to our trip. Looks like a great option. Thanks. 

I had the privilege of joining a group to go sledding on the rock in 2008.  The group trailered down.  I flew one way and drove the truck and sleds back coming home.  Absolutely epic trip.  We saw the Lewis Hills, Gros Morne riding to Western Brook Gorge and my favourite day was a trail ride from Steadybrook, to Deer Lake, to jack ladder, then inland into the long range mountains that brought us back out near corner brook and then a final return to Steady brook.  The access roads in the long range mountains near cornerbrook were phenomenal.  The scenery is to die for and you will never find nicer people.  Will definitely go again some day.  It’s a long drive / ferry ride, but was worth the investment.   It is definitely beautiful, but also an area to be respected.  There is stories of guys mistakingly riding off of massive cliffs hundreds of feet high.  It is most definitely avalanche country and a lot gets covered up by the massive snow falls.  When it melts in the spring lots of hazards begin to appear.  We were there in April and had good weather, but I’m  sure “you can’t see your nose” whiteout conditions do occur.  Your right on the coast with ever changing weather.
