  1. This is my first expedition with the XU chassis and the 1200 motor. Typically do a 2 to 3 saddle bag trips a year in QC and was wondering if anyone else rides a expedition. In the past I always had sno trackers on the skis which eliminated darting on the groomed trails I was wondering if this is a must have on the skidoo pilot skis or not. Basicly looking for anything I might want to invest in prior to bringing my new sled on a long trip. Thanks
  2. This place is one of my favorite places to stop at. I would like to stay there for a few nights and do day trips.
  3. actionjack, I have been to Westminster MD several times. The company I work for has a plant in Westminster I have eaten at O'LORDANS a few times, great food and atmosphere. I can pull Thrusday nights through Monday afternoons 3 times a season with out the wife freaking out. So Thursday and Monday are travel days other 3 days are for ridding. I was really liking the Lac st.jean area but what a long ride from Portland Maine. We rode around ALMA . I will look at Mogog area, and yes following the snow is best.
  4. Hey guys I could use your help. My ridding buddies and I have been ridding the Chaudiere Appalaches region for 10 years and we have pretty much covered the area many times. We are looking for new territory to explore. We all come from Southern and Central Maine and used to head to Fortkent ME. to cross the boarder and bag it from there 3 nights and back to the truck and travel home the next day. For the last several years we have been leaving the truck in Jackman ME. and bagging it 3 nights and back. This eliminated the 7hr. drive to and from Fortkent. We have been to Mt. Valin once on an extremely low snow year for Maine and MV really didn’t have much snow either that year and we thought the grooming was really bad for the snow they had. Looked like they groomed with what you would use on a ski hill. Way to long of a drive for me, the Southern most guy in our group. We also drove to Le Cabenon (way to long of a drive also for me,also) only to have it be 45 degrees and raining the day we started our trip. Trails were also a mess from the warm weather and no grooming. I realize the long truck ride unfortunalety is unavoidable to get to the good stuff. When I hear of guys headed North to Clova from PENN. I think I must be getting old( I’m 45). The CA area has a nice mix of fast wide trails in the plains and in the mountains, roller coaster power lines , RR beds if you need to get to a point in a hurry. So I’m looking for suggestions , do we try NB. We have been from Moose valley to Campbelton but not much else. I’m trying to avoid 8 hr travel days on either end of the trip. Any ideas?
  5. I have often though about a gps for the sled. What should I buy? any sugestions? Thanks
  6. Well like angthing I will have to weed through good and bad reviews to come up with my own comclution. I know MIKERIDER has put on quite a few miles on a sled and he knows a turd when he has a leg over one. I guess I may have to stick with my plan to ride before I buy. I hoping I can do this at Jackman Powersports later this winter. The money these sled cost today I can't see spending it based on what others think. not sure what is going with the typing??????
  7. I'm looking for an up grade to my 2006 yamaha apex. I'm in love with the 2013 cross tour turbo but have been spoiled by the yamaha reliability. I'm looking for some honest real work info on a turbo. Mileage, belts, hadeling,ride. I like to do long saddle bag trips in QC. I know I could go with a nwer Apex but I feel thay are still to much like what I already have. Thanks
