- Jesse, Mike, and Kosta head up to Temiscaming, where they meet up with Andrew and Rich OUTDOORS. The next morning, with all our gear and clothing for 4 days loaded, we hit the trails! Heading from Temiscaming to Val-d'Or, the trails were tabletop all day, and most of it was first tracks riding! Besides the temps, the conditions could not have been better. An awesome day to start off a 1300 km trip.

I wouldn't pay extra $200, trails here in new Brunswick are just as good, pass is around $150
I actually don't agree at all. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in NB but the trails were not as regularly maintained as QC. Significantly more bumpy sections that hadn't been groomed in days compared to Quebec where I ride for 4 days and don't hit a single bump. Cheers, Jesse
I actually prefer some bumps. A flat trail is boring I like to use the that R motion suspension that I paid for
Me too :)
What glovebox are you using for that gps setup?
Just the regular skidoo glovebox extension for the Gen4. Cheers, Mike
Great trails, we missed out this year being South of the Border. Stayed at the Forrestal dozens of times, always had to wait hours to get dinner. We stay on the other side of town now. Can't wait till tomorrow you'll be on the best , fast Wicked Trail number 93 from sennetere to lebel, it has it all. Stay safe up there
Hey John! Trails were awesome and besides the wait time for food, the forestel had excellent accomodations. Day 2 will be released on Monday, so stay tuned! ☺
Cheers,
Jesse
@@sledaddicz I have the same machine as you best handling sled I have had yet. Back in 2018 , three of us had XRS too short tracks and my Renegade. And a buddy on a long track Apex. We all blew belts on the way to lebel and my gas light came on. It does every time on that Trail, and we gas up in sennetere lol,our favorite trail for sure. Power on guys, great videos
Heading to this area in February. Going to be staging out of Amos. Looking forward to it!
Some of the best riding you will ever experience. Thanks for watching our channel and enjoy! Cheers, Mike
Great review and comparison of trail systems. I hope to make a similar trip in a year or two. Keep up the honest criticism/praise on products, trails, accomodations. It's important to hear the good and bad.
100% agreed. That is our goal, to give our honest opinion of every product we try! Both OFSC and FCMQ do a great job, its just funding that is the major difference. I believe trail system in quebec is partially government funding. Thanks for watching! Cheers,
Jesse
Ive been a snowmobiler for 40 years. Today two things really scare me about our sports future. One being the cost. The average family no longer can afford to get into, and then travel to use them.
The second concern is how we have lost what ill call your basic snowmobilers code of ethics.
As always enjoy it all fun informative without being lectured to. Killer combo.

Hi Chris. I do agree that the cost has become significant but that only applies if you want to buy newer sleds. You can still enjoy the sport with older sleds if you can't afford newer machines. I still see lots of older rides out there and people enjoying the day on the trails with good reliable older models. Traveling and accommodations can be expensive every weekend but you can always do day trips which is how I used to do it (and still do) to keep costs down. I think the code of ethics applies - especially to the guys that can't seem to stay on the trails. Hopefully it doest get worse. Mike
@@sledaddicz your absolutely correct and on well groomed trails early 2k sleds offer a great price point for alot of fun. All of us long-term riders have little me time available and like our truck our sleds and bikes tend to be top of the line or very close. Granted we no longer ride weekends and i still have my 97 zr440 sno pro w zr900 power and a 136, ill ride local and southern Michigan with
Had a Blast!!! When we going back!!!
Us too Rich! We will be back in 3 weeks! 😎
A little chilly for me but it looks like a great ride!
It was a great ride! But pretty cold forsure. Cheers,
Jesse
I know what it's like trying to breath when out snowshoeing at 20 below :) snow, cold, and blue skies - awesome, eh?
Nothing better! Cheers,
Jesse
Do three trips a year to Quebec . Did 4900 miles in 15 days last year saddle bagging so disappointed couldn't go for the first time in years this year do to border being closed. Enjoy your trip keep up with the great content
Thanks John! Stay tuned for Day 2 coming on monday! Cheers,
Jesse
Can you take sleds from usa to canada and ride. How about a fly or drive to Canada and rents sleds? Any recommendations?
Yup u can! Just need to show paperwork. You can rent sleds too but it's becoming more and more limited due to liability. Cheers, Jesse
Glad you like the neck of the woods I'm from (15k from Laforce, you probably just nicked the corner). Although I do no use the trails, I am aware of how well they are. I have a skandic that I take to my camp, a lot of back country stuff instead.
nice video, looked like a blast. thanks for sharing. What are you using for a camera? thanks!
Thanks John. We both use GoPro Hero 9s with mic setups that are wired into our helmets. Cheers, Mike
I dont Know if you have heard already but the peoples keeping those trails in good shape does that on free time. we dont get paid well at least every club i know. i used to be one of those guys and i was doing it because i love snowmobile. we are just a bunch of passionate.
Absolutely!! I am a volunteer as well as a groomer operator in Ontario. Hope you liked the video! Cheers, Jesse
I'm confused..... I thought there were travel restrictions in place between Ontario and Quebec?
Nope. None that exist currently. Stopped by cops and they saw we were from Ontario and 0 issues. Cheers,
Jesse
Any idea If the combo bags will fit on the lynx rave? I know the behind the seat bag won't unfortunately because of the wider rear of the seat I'm guessing might be the same issue with the combo bag
Hey dude! You are correct. Like the trail seat bag, the combo bag is made for the narrow seat on the gen4 two strokes, so it won't won't on your lynx. However, if the seat is the same as Ski-Doos wide seat (for the 900 turbos), then the other combo bag that's made for the wide body would work. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz appreciate the quick response I will look into that. Seperate topic but I really wish they would make a stackable fuel caddy that was split 3/4 fuel and 1/4 oil so you could carry some fuel and oil by only using one set of linq mounts. I mainly just want another bag to carry fluids without the risk of having oily boxers and socks at the end of the ride lol. Nothing garbage bags and duct tape can't fix though I guess
What I do is use my combo bag only for oil. My clothes go in the sr21 bag on top of my stackable jerry and my tech and toothbrush and snacks and hats go in my linq sport bag. Cheers, Jesse
wow, such a nice trip. I will do that trip next year. Where did you stay at nights and how was it?
It was great! Each video we say the hotel we stayed at :)
Cheers,
Jesse
Roule don sur ton côté pour commencer, vous êtes vraiment cave de rouler du mauvais côté dans plusieurs courbes
Hey! Sorry I don't read French well. Can you translate? Jesse
I live in southern Ontario pay for permits every year and have many years that we don’t get to use out local trails
Exactly! Some years are better then others. A permit is the cheapest expense of a snowmobile season. Cheers, Jesse
Nice video man. Being from Qb, I certainly appreciate your comments. BTW, if you buy your Qb permit before December 9th, it is $340. In Ontario, it’s $270 I think. What I want to say is this is not that much more expansive in Qb compared to Ontario
Yep! I was comparing in season prices. Its 270$ and 420$ in season, but in early season, its not as much of a difference (180$ early in Ontario, vs 340$ early in Quebec). Besides, trails in Québec are a whole other level of MINT! Thanks for tuning in. Cheers,
Jesse
I get both permits yearly.
Early bird though of course
Timiskaming btw
Hey Kael. This is actually the correct spelling in this case. There is Temiscaming Quebec and Temiskaming Shores (New Liskeard) Ontario. In this video we rode from Temiscaming Quebec. The Ontario one is with a K while the quebec one is with a C. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz oh ok sorry m’y mistake
@@kaelgirard8575 no worries at all! Take care bud
Quebec is the best!!! but Northern Maine (The County) isn't too bad either.
Quebec is awesome for sure. Would love to get to try Maine sometime too. Mike
What map program are you use on your go’s??
I'm not sure I understand your question. We use garmin zumo 590 gps's with trakmaps. We also use the BRP GO! app. Cheers, Jesse
Need a riding buddy haha.
Always! Love riding with new people. It's what makes this sport so much fun! Cheers,
Jesse
Did you have someone in the group who spoke some French? Or did you need to speek their language ?
Nope. Most people we dealt with spoke at least a little English! Cheers,
Jesse
Any trouble crossing into Quebec ?
No issues whatsoever other than restaurants. Some didn't want to serve us since we weren't local. Mike
Thanks ! Never been up there but looks awesome enjoy !
Ontario trails are brutal lol
They try their best! Especially given that they only get less then half the permit money of quebec and most groomer operators are volunteer. Quebec is just pure perfection. Cheers, Jesse
Where do you ride? I have been on trails that rival Quebec!
Tax founded trails, they are nice tho
