“Denis had this incredible ability to believe in people before they were capable of believing in themselves.” There are people who build companies. There are people who build industries. And then there are the rare few who build people. To me, Denis Lavoie belonged to that last category. A lot of people will remember […]
There’s a difference between playful… and planted. Between light… and locked in. Between flickable… and flat-out unshakeable. The 2027 Lynx Shredder RE 3,700 850 E-TEC Turbo R doesn’t beg for attention. It doesn’t try to be the lightest-feeling sled in the parking lot. It doesn’t scream “look at me” with smoke and mirrors. It just charges […]
Hi there! Are you looking for the perfect mountain snowmobile to carve through the powder? Wondering which machine will be your best ally to conquer the peaks and pull you out of tricky situations? Let me share my experience from the recent 2026 SnowShoot in Montana, where I had the privilege of testing the latest […]
Let me spoil you the surprise: it wasn’t what you’d expect… If you’d told me at the beginning of SnowShoot MY2026 that I’d leave Polaris testing sessions with a secret soft spot for the TITAN Adventure Ultimate 155, I’d have laughed.

The SnowShoot is our chance to test and ride prototype snowmobiles and next year’s new models. But beware—it’s not an open-invitation event! Only a handful of hand-picked participants are privileged enough to attend. For me, […]
For 2026, Ski-Doo has taken the high-performing Summit X and put it on a serious diet. Shedding an impressive 14 lb from the 2025 model. By trimming 12 lb in dry weight and 2 lb in wet weight, Ski-Doo continues its mission to have the lightest sled on the market, without compromising strength or performance. So, how did […]
A Week of Testing, A Moment of Clarity After spending a full week in West Yellowstone riding every new 2026 sled model, I could get my hands on, tweaking setups, taking notes, and trying not to wreck myself in the process, I ended my journey the only way that made sense: by throwing a leg […]

The legendary Ski-Doo MXZ has never stopped evolving in 30 years. So, I naturally gravitated toward the 2026 MXZ X-RS with the Competition Package as my favourite at SnowShoot. Any Changes for 2026?
