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 .
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 ❄️ 😂
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
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! 😅
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 .
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😂
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
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
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!! 😊😉
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
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)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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..
Great looking machine! The modularity is Awesome! It takes a long time to make an expensive decision. I'm not a " Skidoo " expert. But they might not make a 30 wide track because the centrifugal weight of the track coupled with possibly impeding with your turning radius. This might add more stress to the tracks running gear when turning. You said it yourself in a later video, " The machine is designed to deal with the conditions! " Grats on your purchase. Very cool!
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
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!!
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.
Nice Sled you got yourself there Chuck Congrats

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words.❤️
What a beautiful sled !!
Well deserved splurge. If BRP ever wanted a true real life tester for the Skandic they should be giving you a call.
You've done your homework Chuck...I think you made the right choice for your needs...Enjoy your new skidoo!
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 ❄️ 😂

Beauty sled, that color looks great in the snow. Skandic all the way, I love mine
Excellent review. Nice looking machine. The pup is more than happy with your purchase.
lol. I think she is
Congratulations on the new sled!

100% Chuck. The entire video had me shaking my head, yes. The throttle was my favorite part.
Kenny
Great choice. Great tool, great toy.... Happy for you.....✋🏼✨
Nice looking sled Chuck enjoy it. A good dealership is the key like you said.
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.
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
I may try the clamp. Little hesitant. Will seek out other options as well
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.
I think you got the best of the best right there . Absolutely a beast.

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
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)
Can't beat it wonderful
A little nicer than the 1980 Skandic I used to rip around on.
Very nice, congratulations on your new sled! This makes me miss winter lol, can't wait for a fire in the snow again.
Awesome video chuck great looking machine !!
Congrats, nice sled!!!!
Great choice the ace 900. You will enjoy that girl! Congrats!
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!
Love your new snowmobile looks awesome happy sledding
Good review Chuck.
Love it!
Congrats on the new machine, Love it!
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!
Perfect Dan. Glad it worked out for you my friend
Geez Chuck, solid video
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.
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!
Nice sled Chuck!
Last fall I bought a 1970 Bombardier ski doo olympique. I was born in 71!😂
Incredible!!
Congrats
Looks good on yeah my friend hope it treats you as well as the last
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 thought it was a 'giveaway' ! Lol. She's a beauty Chuck!
Hahahahaha. Maybe if I can get a sponsor!!! lol!!!
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..
Great sled! Enjoy!
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
Great looking machine! The modularity is Awesome! It takes a long time to make an expensive decision. I'm not a " Skidoo " expert. But they might not make a 30 wide track because the centrifugal weight of the track coupled with possibly impeding with your turning radius.

Got to love that sweet 900 ace. Rotax built an incredible 4 stroke engine they should be proud of.
This is my third one now and it hasn’t met me down yet I’m happy to say
Beautiful snow machine! That one will suit you well.
I absolutely love it. It suits my lifestyle perfectly
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
Really nice ride , wish we had some snow here in central to extend the season a little.
Hey Chuck.You are going to have to get bigger wood sleighs.They can tow a pick up full under the right conditions!!
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.
Beautiful skidoo
Congratulations !!
Nice ride. Love the color.
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.
