If you come from the south ans south-west like toronto or New-York and don t wanna do too much travelling you can start closer just north East of Montreal and the trails are as well taken care of and great snow in January and Febuary period ! Always plan your trip with where you get gas and restaurants and Motels . there s also nice small shacks with wood stoves and wood along all trails ! I m from here in Quebec and rode mostly in the southern parts of the Province ! Wish all a nice trip and a Merry Christmas ! Yes i am french and as you can see i also interact in English ! lol 🥶🤠

Iam living here and iam driving here the biggest problem is that snowmobile trail permit costs $440 this year super crazy and yes cops measures exhaust decibels on every corner the reason is that trails are crossing many land owners fields and lots of lads not respecting speed limits which does create noise pollution and so on which equals that next year pissed of farmer/land owner won’t open his land for snowmobilers to pass trough which causes closures

Love you guys videos. Me and my friends Just booked a trip to lac-saint-Jean Saguenay and heard it’s not very bilingual but was curious if you think most restaurants would have a English speaking waiter/waitress and also do you think the backcountry riding would be too extreme for 24 ski doo bcxrs 850 with a 1.6 cobra track and do you think an avalanche bag is needed out there or is it flat enough that we shouldn’t worry?

Great video as always. I have a random question, I live in NH and my truck is setup to carry my sleds while pulling my Airstream travel trailer. Is there any RV parks open in the winter that you guys have seen in passing. I've briefly looked around online but it seems like almost everything is closed. Would love to do a trip to Quebec, but want to use my own rig with hookups. Thanks

Seems like it might be more feasible to just hop on a plane and rent a sled when going this far to ride. If so where would be a good location for such a thing. Thoughts ? Nice video and info. Coming from western ny Dave

We're in around the Toronto area and sometimes we trailer, sometimes we fly. you could catch a flight out of Buffalo into Montreal and plan a trip around there. Short drive to good snow and trails and could just rent sleds, etc if that's what you wanted to do. From the Buffalo area you're probably about an eight hour drive with a trailer into good snow.

@@snowtrax ok thanks. Will have to do the math and figure what would be a better route to go as hauling everything we own, licensing , permits and all that stuff vs just flying there and renting. Might just be less stress that way being in a diff country. Snow is getting less and less even in ADK to be able to just go and ride when ya want. Dave

If you are interested in sledding in Quebec, google Snow Tour Quebec. The guide Bruce Cody will take you all over the province and does all of the leg work for you. You could fly into Montreal and there is definitely a way to have people picked up at the airport. Folks from France/ Europe do it every season

I've heard many negative things from US trail riders about going to southern/eastern Canada to ride. Everyone agrees the trails and riding are great, but the hospitality, laws/insurance government requirements and general helpfulness of places like snowmobile parts and repair shops are terrible if you run into trouble for US visitors. I would love to hear some unbiased experiences of US people who do this on a regular basis as well as what's involved with getting your sled legally over the border. Those I've talked to in the last few years say it's not what it used to be years ago and don't want to go back due to bad experiences with accommodations and lack of support along the trail, for non-locals.

It's the same as when you travel anywhere outside your home country. If you respect the local customs and use your manners, you can get by no problem. We've had huge breakdowns with equipment before and dealerships have been very helpful and as far as a language barrier, again, it's a different country. We don't speak French, but many Quebecers speak English and if you approach respectfully, they'll gladly help out if they're able to. I think if you look for negative comments, you'll find them and if you look for positive ones you'll find those too.

That's weird. I follow the discussions on the Quebecrider forum, mostly between our neighbouring U.S. riders, and they're invariably chomping at the bit to return. However, as born and bred Quebecer who's been riding for just shy of 60 years, I might be a bit biased 🙂

I agree with Kenguyer above. It was nothing but a positive experience. Unfortunately, it’s so good that it will spoil you. Yes there are requirements for permits etc. but the Quebec permit includes LIABILITY insurance. So if someone hits you, they will be insured. Trails are second to none.

@robertm7554 it's graduated fines. 5 or 10 mph over cops are looking the other way 9 times out of 10 and if they do charge you its a small fine. 40 or 50 mph over, yeah you're gonna pay. Doesn't that make for safer trails though? I prefer to go home from my holiday without having someone run me off the trails that is driving beyond speeds that should be ridden at on trails.

Don’t do what I did. Set expectations to high. My dad’s been going to Quebec since the 70s. Heard for 30 years of how smooth it was. Well when I got to go it wasn’t the best. Rough trails. 5 times now and all the same experience. This was all over Quebec. Saddle bag trips. At the point now where I don’t want to go back. When you go by spot where there is a new groomer sitting and it hasn’t moved in weeks…. The Trails are 2-3’ bumps.
