[erickdircks]

Great Video! Wasn't that much snow when I went through BC & Yukon going to Alaska. I was on a photo journey not a ski trip. Looks like fun! Thanks for Sharing! P.S. International charges on Cells are $.96 a minute. Didn't make many calls in Canada. I didn't know that when I went to Vancouver Island. Found out the hard way! LOL.

Have a great day!

[jsmallwood2007]

@SeasonalRider I just came across the nongroomed trail from roddicton to the western side pushing snow right to the headlight all the way...soaked to the bone..

[jonjean1]

newfoundland has much better snow and terrain then i thought..

[mrsledhead7]

[FiftyStrokeFreak]

Man i Live in New Brunswick and I am hoping to make it to nfld to tear some snow

[garge7676]

@FiftyStrokeFreak jan 21 and there is probally 2 feet of snow in central nfld...you guys got all the snow this year, im still waitin

[BDotSledder]

what month was this video, planning on a trip to the west coast this year.. neeed to know the earliest time to come over to try out the next ski-doo! can you guys help me out.

[jsmallwood2007]

@BDotSledder this vid was shot in January ..you can usually ride here in December..personally I prefer March riding

[joebob744]

great vid guys, you get much riding in this year? i only got 1 run in on my skidoo which sucks, i hate living on the east coast lol

[jsmallwood2007]

@rider4343 lol going for a ride and lobster boil in the mountains next week....hows that for quit lmfao

[TheSledDawg]

Love it! How's the avalanche danger this year in Newfoundland? Can't hardly pass by a bank on the side of a trail without it sliding. It's extreme, even what you can't imagine would slide is letting loose. Stay safe! Did you hear about the Big Iron Shootout in Revelstoke?

[jsmallwood2007]

@TheSledDawg ya we heard..sad news..saw a huge slide that had happened sunday on the top level of bluey mountain here about a quarter mile wide..been so warm this winter the snow is very firm on the hills so it has more to do with prevailing winds than snowfall thats causing the layers to build here, blown snow on the faces just begging to slide..least amount of snow and ice here i can remember..great traveling in the mountains though if you avoid the danger areas(where we usually could play)

[moonrunner777]

Awesome 5*

[14mattson]

[TheSkidoo101]

[02superregency]

@nateman1666 thanks but i looked it up and it was called sweet emotion

[nateman1666]

ha my bad man i always get that mixed up for some reason

[midnight9wanderer]

that's so incredible, what I would do for snow like that here!

[oodlesofnoobles]

lewis hills ftw

[fredyroy69]

do you guys allready have a ride this season i have never ride in newfoundland can you tell me where we have to go to make some nice videos with my team thanks fred and how long it take from quebec quebec thanks guys

[jsmallwood2007]

couple rides this season but the snows not here to stay yet....quebec city to the boat is probably about 12 -15hours..the mountains run the entire west coast of the island when you arrive....the most notable mountain riding spots being lewis hills about an hour from the boat...western brook gorge near deer lake and the long range mountains on the northern peninsula where this was filmed about 6 hrs from the boat...sick riding everywhere along there.hit those 3 main places

[jsmallwood2007]

i would drive on down the to the northern peninsula where the mountians meet the watter and start at the top hittting lewis hills on the way on or off the island but you can haul your sled out anywhere and be 15 mins from the mountains down the whole west coast of the island..being all crown land you can ride where ever you like although venturing into the mountains you should really grab a local guide

[ontariowakeman720]

I LOVE SNOWMOBILING!!!

[bravoman19]

nice vid guys!

[Sphinxi1]

Lots of Ski-doo power! I got MXZ Renegade X myself =)

[jsmallwood2007]

Loved mine and have the Backcountry X version now on order.Hope the shocks are just as sweet.

[Diminus66]

perhaps this winter me and a view of the bys will have to make a trip up, how hard is it to get acomadations like a motell and stuff up northern pen?

[jsmallwood2007]

Lot's of places here ,it's a summer destination usually anyway...P.M me if you need help booking a room or cabin.

[jsmallwood2007]

Maynards torrent river Inn In Hawkes bay is where we like to end our days ride.They have cabins available as well and are located right on the main trails to the mountains.

[Diminus66]

i just bought my snowmobile from a friend in hawkes bay, she lives in town now though, so she had no use for it, ahah well i will deffinitly PM you when me and a fiew of the bys can round up the flatbeds and sleds and well make a trip up for a view days, its fun here on the east coast but its alot of ditch banging no real hills to climb, i used to have tons of hills home in labradoor but now here haha not so much, so well be up the winter

[Diminus66]

got i have had a mountain cat 800 a summit 600 and now a mountain max, yet i still havent had a chance to ride up on the northern pen., kinda depressing really

[jsmallwood2007]

If you live on the rock there really no excuse lol...

[sdrapaka]
