Like anything to do with Snowmobiling, you need to pay to play. Not a sport for the frugal.
Riding Quebec Trail.....Priceless.

800R MXZ X got a reaction from quebec bob in Pittsburg - New Hampshire
LOL, welcome to NH! Now you know why we all drive 8 hours to ride in Quebec! And you are correct it’s nothing more then income for the fish and game, they sit on the biggest smoothest trails and hand out speeding tickets while people are crashing in the woods and it doesn’t matter to them.

I can't imagine riding with a bunch of degengenerate GF's like that! However, I have heard of that type of behavior before, even seen where a rider would stand on a wrench and smoke cigars so another rider could not get his battery installed!

Grooming started around Les Escoumis and around Saint Zenon. Nice to see.

Interesting take. I would like to snow check this spring and thought I was sold on the 1.25 ice ripper, but you bring up a good point about prevailing conditions depending on region/grooming schedule. Packed vs. powder.
I have run the 1.25 ice ripper on the last 2 1200’s. The one before that had true studs with the 84 pattern on double backers each, so 168 down the middle. Definitely hooked up better than the ice ripper, but the wear and tear on idler wheels got sickening. Granted it was a 120” vs. a 137” skid. I believe Thinksno might have a good point about the scratchers if I do opt for the 1.5/1.6 whichever is offered next spring. Keep the cometary coming about 1.25 vs. 1.6. I would like to know what you guys are running on your 900T’s.

The BRP rail scratchers work awesome

I was using the OTTP ski mounted. Not sure they dropped the temps any. I liked the idea of “reversible” . Do the Doo ones have to be raised when in reverse? I can just see myself forgetting in the parking lot at the Forestel...lol...there is always seems to be a crowd watching from the rooms.

Real studs out perform pre studded on hard groomed or icy trails, however I have found I need the extra lug more often for fresh dumps of snow or drifted areas then icy conditions.

I agree that true studs will always hook up better than a pre-studded track. However for the kind of riding that many members on this board do an ice ripper track will provide the extra traction and confidence needed to ride safely on the perfectly groomed trails of Quebec.
Agree 100%!
Whether to run true studs or a pre-studded track depends a lot on your style of riding and what you consider to be a"normal season" trip and mileage wise. If you only ride a limited number of trips/km then true studs can work for you. However, if you are like myself and the guys I ride with and unload your sled and set off on 10 day plus rides in excess of 4000 km then true studs are not the answer. On my most ambitious trip of 19 days and over 6700 km I was on a sled that had true studs. I changed 7 yes 7 idler wheels a real pain in the butt not to mention the cost. I remember at one point in Hearst Ontario being bent over in a garage that belonged to the hotel changing an idler wheel and my so-called buddies were standing around drinking beer and laughing at me! It was at that point that Andyman made the decision that this was the last sled that would have true studs! Lol
These are just my personal views and observations and I hope we get to enjoy this winter despite Covid!
