Lodge Sessions ARRIVAL |

Due to el nino weather we had to cancel the Annual Lodge Sessions Group ride at Sportsmans Lodge in Sudbury but we invited everyone to join us in Val Dor Quebec for our 2nd Annual Snowmobile Sessions Ride.
In this video we arrive at Northern Outfitters Pourvoirie du Nord Chem. de la Baie-Carrière, Val-d'Or, QC J0W 2C0
We decide to take a quick ride before supper and find the 2018 Ski-doo X-RS 850 e-tec Renegade is having issues - the front shock on the rear skid is frozen solid making for a horrible ride.
KZbin creator @mikeguliz has a mishap following a tailight that blew a turn and ends up crashing in the woods. Everyone is Ok and we get to store the 2018 in a heated garage for the night.

Great to see you guys on the trail. We got lucky with the conditions!

[@mudbrats]

Likewise! Hard to know this year as snow is a short supply.

[@tboystoys5682]

Good news. You can see it’s sitting better now

[@mudbrats]

Its all good. Just a test for our Love of Snowmobiling!

[@savage1589]

I had that happen at the top of golden lake, crossing the road. Fortunately, the truck that was coming before I lost all traction, crossing the road slow down.😳

[@mudbrats]

yeah not fun. Was froze again on the weekend - time for a shock oil change

[@odiethesledandcarguy9884]

Count me in for the ride next year

[@mudbrats]

You Better! Adding Odie to the mix would be Awesome!

[@mudbrats]

Thankyou! We were truly spoiled by how well the trails were there this year, where it seems everywhere else is struggling.

[@itsonlymoney2931]

[@mudbrats]

Hey Moose! Thank-you, 🤘

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

So sorry I missed it. Great video love the footage! So happy everyone had a great time and the boys were ok. 👌 😊🤘

[@mudbrats]

It’s all about coming home in 1 piece and having a good time…. More about the good times, but coming home in 1 piece is good.

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

Totally agree…Miley had his angels with him that day.

[@James-oh1wp]

Conditions looked amazing ! Heading up there in 2 weeks … weather permitting . Where did you guys stay again?

[@mudbrats]

Thanks! its amazing there right now. Northern Outfitters Val Dor - address is in video description - call and ask for David - tell him you seen it here! ❤

[@James-oh1wp]

@@mudbrats Merci :)

[@mudbrats]

@@James-oh1wp at least now you have some French phrases to help you through your day 🤣

[@krankysledzz]

Great video as always Gary and the gang. You spring checking anything this year?

[@mudbrats]

Thanks buddy! I likely will. Theres enough changes to the sled to make it worthwhile

[@krankysledzz]

@@mudbrats right on, I already have the module and new Ras RS suspension on order. And that will be it for me. You should give the 900R a try for a season. Think you’d like it.

[@mudbrats]

@@krankysledzz I almost went that way last year. Always love the 4 stroke turbos

[@paulgriffiths5702]

Likely broken shock frozen compressed. Happened to me last month in Mt Valin. Did you go through Rouyn and over to Val Dor to get to the lodge.? If you went cross country to the lodge how was the road in terms of being bumpy or even Paved?

[@mudbrats]

we went the south route (not rouyn noranda) and it wasnt even plowed - very nasty drive in, would not recommend that route even though its 30mins faster. No cell service so if we had issues we would have been screwed!

[@mudbrats]

Yes the shock needs to have the oil changed. Not sure when they were done last but they heat up and cool down and build condensation in the process. That freezes and you end up with this - shock works fine once thawed - not broken, just needs to be freshened up

[@mikeguliz]

Nice vid with all these youtubers no one caught dennon and Guliz going in the ditch and guliz doing a cart wheel

[@mudbrats]

Saved by my dead battery! Next time I know who to be prepared for hahaha 🤣

[@mikeguliz]

@@mudbrats sorry you missed that’s not happening again that was not Mike Guliz not even close
