December 20, 2011 - The snowmobiling season is slow in starting in most regions of Quebec this winter. Despite several clubs being up and running, the mild weather of recent weeks has certainly not been conducive to freezing bodies of water. If riding has begun in your area, the FCMQ wishes to remind you to be extra vigilant when appraching waterways and to cross only where there are clearly marked trails maintained by the local snowmobile club.
