Congratulations on your new machine. I too just bought new the same machine, same track, and same engine for several of the same reasons as you did. I am very pleased so far.
Have to say from one Newfoundlander to another other you are extremely well spoken and crystal clear with 0 profanity. Congrats on that . Extremely informative as well . Excellent job doing this video. Love your dogs being with you. Shows they are a part of your family.Have sent it along to some of my Florida friends which is pretty much the first time which speaks volumes .
Chuck, I’m of the expedition camp. I have a 2023. Same track but in the expedition. These are simply the best there is for back country adventures in bottomless snow and slush. They’re crazy good. Congrats on your new ride buddy! Well deserved! Love the accent too bye! 😅
Love the new skidoo .I have an expedition 900 ace with 24 " track. I love the added flotation the wider track offers congratulations on your new skidoo.
Mr porter she's a beautiful machine and where you live your life could depend on it I'd love to get one for my granddaughters but after another El Nino winter I could never justify it your a lucky man I miss winter thank you and stay well
Fantastic snowmobile, running a 2003 Ski Doo 600, first machine was 1962 Ski Doo Olympic with a whopping 14 hp single lunger between your knees. Enjoy well earned
I agree Many people I know have switched from an expedition to a Skandic for all the reasons you have explained. People ask me why I have a 24 inch skandic and I tell them it’s because they don’t make a 30” wide track
So I couldn’t wait till morning to watch the video lol. Congrats on the sled. I added a headlamp to the inside of my box lid with two screws so u have a light inside the box when it’s dark. And am really impressed with the brp chainsaw clamp was an easy install. Congratulations again nice to see Melanie and the dogs in the video
Congratulations on the new skidoo , wise choice. I see you put as much thought into the purchase as I do. I love my 2024 skidoo SE expedition , our area annual snow fall is 4 feet, 98% of my riding is frozen lakes. At times I pull 3 sleighs , if slush conditions allow. If not the machine can carry all my fishing gear on its own, BRP has many options to assist with that. You’re right about the dealerships , they make all the difference in the world. Enjoy your new ride.
I agree Skandic all day. Sweet sleds either way but where you ride and I swear they run forever we have one that’s 30 yrs old and still use it to bust trails if we get ❄️ 😂
Congratulations on your new Skidoo. And you said it right about dealing with your local dealer. They all have there problems. Getting them fixed is usually the problem.
Hey Chuck it’s awesome to see that you bought the identical machine I bought me and my each one wife to ride! ❤ we look forward to see all of the adventures you go on.
Congrats on the new machine, with the amount of snow you guys get , and living off grid I'd say definitely a good idea. You definitely did your homework and you bought what is practical for you.
Great video buddy ,Congratulations on the new snow machine . You are lucky you have snow to use it , winters are certainly becoming more unpredictable with snow in NL .Thanks for sharing and have a great day .
MAN that's a great looking machine! You know what's best for you and your needs. Makes me want to go snowmobiling and I'm on my way to Florida. In West Virginia salivating over your new machine. Best of luck with it Chuck and I'm looking forward to seeing it a lot
Loved being on Pop’s Citation and Skandic back as a kid in the 80’s and 90’s. They were work horses, paid for themselves over several times in all the wood they hauled for sure. Awesome content as usual!
Loved every minute of the new sled tour!! Always look forward to your content Chuck! Always a highlight of the week to see your latest upload!! Great stuff! Keep er’ comin’ b’ye!! 😊😉
Nice set of LED light on her now make a world of difference for night driving. You're not wrong either, they're a great community oriented company with excellent service. He's an easy feller to talk to and makes time for his customers.
He tried to sell me the lights and I’m thinking I will eventually pick them up. I know the guys on the scheffervile trip had them and they made a world of difference
Glad you love your new machine. Thanks for the info why you picked the Scandic over the expedition. Makes since when off trail for sure. Great video as always.
I have a 2022 Skandic with the 600 etec the Ace was not available when I bought mine. I actually chose it from watching your videos. I could not be happier with it. Like you I use it for utility and Guiding Ice fisherman in Maine. Congratulations!
Awesome machine chuck! I have a 2016 scandic like your old one and it's amazing in the woods, this year I bought a 2024 expedition se 900 ace turbo r, it's really fun, I like having both. Enjoy!
From Alberta I agree with your decision. I have the Expedition model. Chuck I run in ECHO mode 90 % of the time. I groom snowmobile trails and find in that ECHO mode is so smooth. Not to jumpy and responsive for smooth starts etc. Enjoy your new sled Mr. We had sucky.low snow this year I only have 14Km on my sled this year..
Congratulations! I love mine its a 2021 same model and engine. Just fyi some have fuel filter issues that lead to fuel pump failure. BRP dont have a fix for this yet just changes the pump. The consensus online is that something is disintegrating and fouls the filter then in return clogs and burn the pump. Changing to your previous model pump is one way to fix the issue my skandic has been flawless for now. On another note seeing you having fun camping and fishing on your older skandic made a lasting impression so its what I ended up buying.
Congratulations on your new SKANDIC 900 ace Chuck for some reason when you said in your last video you have something new coming I thought it was going to be a new snowmobile enjoy
Great video Chuck. As soon as I seen the video I got my note book and pen. Not sure I can produce a video but I got down all the reasons I need a new machine. Hopefully my wife will be impressed. Wish me luck. Lol😂
Wonderful ski-doo there Chuck, I hope it serves you well. My ski-doo is done for this winter, boy oh boy we had a short riding season this year... Shortest yet for me....
Yes sir buddy. I’m just sat down with my coffee and am zoning out to watch your last video. I’m thinking we will lose our snow early as well….will see-anything can happen yet
Congrats on your new skandic!! Perfect choice for your application. I suggest the chainsaw mount, I have it and works extremely well The adjustable throttle is great but beware when you’re finger throttling, especially in tight spots where a branch can hit your hand or throttle. I have a 2024 expedition SE and added lots accessories. Wanted the skandic , but riding double with air air suspension is great, rear hand warmers, rear visor plug in and even a plug in for heated boots for the passenger,, enjoy
Hey Chuck, congrats on the new skidoo, I’m planning on getting a new one next year, like you I have an older skandic wide track now and love it so thanks for the great review and helping me decide on my next model. Take care
Awesome video. Fun to watch, the Skandic looks impressive. Very practical the way you set it up. Yes, agree, you don’t need a turbo for what you’re doing. Sometimes less is better.
Congratulations on the new snowmobile (or snow scooter as we say in Norway) and especially like the name Scandic as I am a Scanidinavian hehe. Looking forward to more videos from beautiful Canada.
Been using ever since. Really really handy. I changed the hooking clamps to increase strength but other than that really pleased (I did produce a video on making it if you haven’t seen it)
Hey Chuck! Congratulations on you new skidoo! Very nice machine. Thats my choice of machine. Sure is pretty. I dont like going fast either. Too many unforeseen things linger just around the corner. Congrats again bud.
Nice sled, skidoo, snow machine 😉😉. Love the look of it. And the ski legs make a lot of sense for rough areas you travel often. Enjoy and wishing you many trouble free rides. P.S. one of those compartments will hold some Mmmm treats!!
im with you almost all the way .im a trapper and have used my machine to the fullest . you are bang on with the skandic compared to the expedition, my last machine was 24 ins track and new one is 20 ins and i like the 20 ins better .the very first thing i done was take the mirrors off completely.the last machine had 48,000 kms and when i sold it, mirrors and 2 up seat were brand new.itll be the same with this machine ..900 ace is lots of power. no need for turbo for my use .i dont care for the storage box.its to big and stuff rattles around in there if its not full.
Congratulations on your new machine. I too just bought new the same machine, same track, and same engine for several of the same reasons as you did. I am very pleased so far.
I’m hoping this one serves me as well as the last one. Feel very blessed.
What a beautiful sled !!
Nice Sled you got yourself there Chuck Congrats
You've done your homework Chuck...I think you made the right choice for your needs...Enjoy your new skidoo!
Well deserved splurge. If BRP ever wanted a true real life tester for the Skandic they should be giving you a call.
Beauty sled, that color looks great in the snow. Skandic all the way, I love mine
Have to say from one Newfoundlander to another other you are extremely well spoken and crystal clear with 0 profanity. Congrats on that . Extremely informative as well . Excellent job doing this video. Love your dogs being with you.

lol. I think she is

I may try the clamp. Little hesitant. Will seek out other options as well

Yes it seems to happen a fair percentage of the time. I really hope they find a resolve for this.
Great looking and functional rig buddy. I like your practical reasons for that machine. Makes total sense. Good stuff. Take care and enjoy.
Congratulations on your new SKANDIC 900 ace Chuck for some reason when you said in your last video you have something new coming I thought it was going to be a new snowmobile enjoy
Beautiful machine buddy,skandic 24 inch only way to go!
Beauty machine me buddy! Can't remember the last time I was on a ski-doo, probably 25 years or so lol.
Great video Chuck. As soon as I seen the video I got my note book and pen. Not sure I can produce a video but I got down all the reasons I need a new machine. Hopefully my wife will be impressed. Wish me luck. Lol😂
lol. Good luck!!!
Good review Chuck.
Love it!
Well deserved my friend!!! Love the drone footage too!
Congratulations on your beautiful purchase! Fishing trip and another cook up soon? Say when!
Drone footage minus “follow mode” lol 😂
lol even that was very convincing!!
Congrats
Looks good on yeah my friend hope it treats you as well as the last
Beauty I tell ya....thanks for the reminder to clean out the dryer vent.
Hahaha. Good chuckle buddy lol
Wonderful ski-doo there Chuck, I hope it serves you well. My ski-doo is done for this winter, boy oh boy we had a short riding season this year... Shortest yet for me....
Yes sir buddy. I’m just sat down with my coffee and am zoning out to watch your last video. I’m thinking we will lose our snow early as well….will see-anything can happen yet
I lean towards Honda and Yamaha for my power sports needs, but I must say that is one fine looking and well configured machine. Congrats!
Congrats it looks like a fine machine
I watched the first minute and got hooked completely. You're very well spoken and its interesting to hear your opinion. Awesome channel 👏.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel.
Congrats on your new skandic!! Perfect choice for your application.
I suggest the chainsaw mount, I have it and works extremely well

Thanks so much! I love the skidoo too.
I thought it was a 'giveaway' ! Lol. She's a beauty Chuck!
Hahahahaha. Maybe if I can get a sponsor!!! lol!!!
Nice machine Chuck, the machine needed to travel the big land in winter.
Can't beat it wonderful
Great sled! Enjoy!
Congratulations on the new snowmobile (or snow scooter as we say in Norway) and especially like the name Scandic as I am a Scanidinavian hehe. Looking forward to more videos from beautiful Canada.
Great to hear from Norway !!!🇳🇴
Really nice ride , wish we had some snow here in central to extend the season a little.
That ramp that you made to pull out of that thing oh my God what up smart idea
Been using ever since. Really really handy. I changed the hooking clamps to increase strength but other than that really pleased (I did produce a video on making it if you haven’t seen it)
Hey Chuck! Congratulations on you new skidoo! Very nice machine. Thats my choice of machine. Sure is pretty. I dont like going fast either. Too many unforeseen things linger just around the corner. Congrats again bud.
Nice sled, skidoo, snow machine 😉😉.
Love the look of it. And the ski legs make a lot of sense for rough areas you travel often.
Enjoy and wishing you many trouble free rides.
P.S. one of those compartments will hold some Mmmm treats!!
HahhA. Yes!!! And the glove box even stays above freezing so a bonus there as well.
Beautiful snow machine! That one will suit you well.
I absolutely love it. It suits my lifestyle perfectly
im with you almost all the way .im a trapper and have used my machine to the fullest . you are bang on with the skandic compared to the expedition, my last machine was 24 ins track and new one is 20 ins and i like the 20 ins better .the very first thing i done was take the mirrors off completely.the last machine had 48,000 kms and when i sold it, mirrors and 2 up seat were brand new.itll be the same with this machine ..900 ace is lots of power. no need for turbo for my use .i dont care for the storage box.its to big and stuff rattles around in there if its not full.
Great idea(s)
Geez Chuck, solid video
Congrats, nice sled!!!!
Very clever idea what they did with the throttle. 👍👍
I use it on the front of the handlebar most of the time - I find it gives me more control with the handlebars
Sled camping is so peaceful
A little nicer than the 1980 Skandic I used to rip around on.
Nice ride. Love the color.
Exactly what i thought..... last vid hinted a new toy. Congrats, c 'est la vie👏🏽( dan)
Merci Mon Ami!!
Love the scandic. Wish I had one. Even the 600 are great.
