    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! 😅

    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!

    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 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.

    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..

    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

    Beautiful snowmachine!! I want one but my budget at the moment is saying; nope. LOL! Perfect machine for what you do. I agree, if you do a bunch if trail riding but also need the utility aspect, then the Expedition is the perfect snowmachine. But for primarily working and ice fishing, I'd take the Skandic as well.

I live in the Yukon and run a remote trapline reliably is king. The new 4 strokes have to many electronics to fail. Nothing beats a simple two stroke like the VK540 in the reliability department

Such a poor winter here you got more KM on yours this year! Going to enjoy watching you use it. Thanks for showing the gps model. I have been looking for one that is compatible with my existing map cards and that should work. Thanks
