I received the SeatJack LT from Kimpex to install it on my personal snowmobile, in a very simple and practical context.

For me, that moment always comes when I discover the machine that will be with me over the next few months—in the valleys, ravines, steep faces, and especially in the dense forests of the […]

Marlon’s reputation in the world of sled decks is well established, so I had high expectations for the ramp I was testing. I will explain why this ramp offers impeccable build quality and a high-end choice of materials, but […]
I’ve had the opportunity to test ride the 2025 Ski-Doo Backcountry X-RS, a crossover snowmobile whose capabilities are highly appreciated here in Quebec.
