Polaris Snowmobile Adventure in New Hampshire & Maine

[@bigbobvub]

I'm from Caribou, Maine, born in 1961. I spent a lifetime riding in northern Maine, Aroostook County. The gest snowmobiling ever...IMO! Glad to hear people from other parts of the country talk about snowmobiling in Maine!!

[@WestbrookOverrated]

Looking to get property up in caribou I love riding in Rangely but the trails around the depot and entrances always seem to be beat cus it's such a popular spot

[@jadosa29]

We usually go to the UP every February, but because this winter has been such a disaster that wasn’t possible, and Maine was one of the only spots that seemed rideable. We stayed in Caribou and if it’s this good on a bad, low snow winter this place must be epic on a normal year! Heading home tomorrow unfortunately, but it’s been a great trip. Ran the border trail, rode across Long Lake and had an awesome lunch at Long Lake Bar and Grille. Visited some really helpful, quality dealers, especially the Polaris dealers in Caribou and Presque Isle. Just a great time. We will be back! If you know someone who maintains the trail, give him our regards because they should be proud. What they were able to achieve with what they had to work with was incredible! Unless they’re from Van Buren, 😂 rough week up there.

[@jacksonzenk6248]

Many more places in Maine to visit. Millinocket, Greenville, some good off trail riding in Rangely and Carrabassett Valley. Come back up. We love to have people supporting our winter businesses

[@breakwood8531]

You’re right, the 90’s was the best for sledding, especially in northern Ontario when lodges were full of people and sleds. And the lil restaurants in the middle of the bush serving the best food ever and you could only get there by snowmobile. Ah the good ole days eh. Thanks again fellas for another great video.

[@BERGERJeah]

I think they had much to do with competition in the snowmobile industry, every company made a snowmobile, which kept prices down because of competition. It is extremely difficult to get into the sport due to the high expenses involved

[@robertg.9964]

Glad to see that you guys finally visited our little paradise in the North East. Too bad you did not go a tad more East to visit Rangeley, ME as well. Like Pittsburg, Rangeley is a huge snowmobile hub. A lot of riders ride between the 2 destination because there is so much snow and incredible trails, views, lodging and great food. I'll be in Pittsburg this weekend with one of my sons. I have been raising my children up on snowmobiling and take them every year to Pittsburg or Rangeley. All of them has had their first ride around 3-4 yrs old. I hope SnowTrax comes back again for another visit!!

[@SeanHiggins731]

In Maine you can ride in legal backcountry areas, just not off trial everywhere you go. Pretty cool you guys came to Maine. Never thought I’d see that out of a SnowTrax episode!

It says no off trail in most spots but you'll come along 100s of little ditch banging spots or hills along the trail with powder

[@1ltlbrnc]

I was going to say there are areas you can ride off trail, but please don't do it just anywhere. Most areas you definitely cannot ride off trail without the chance of losing trails from upsetting the land owners. Please make sure you are in an area where it's allowed.

Stay in Maine. NH has a 45 mph speed limit and they aggressively enforce it.

That is some of the best country for riding. Next time your out I suggest going to Rangely Me and BosBuck mnt camp on Lake Parmanichi. I rode there with my first sled and beautiful views and class five rd trails. Will dig it. Five star

[@Eastcostboys]

Love riding up home here in NH the best place to do 50/50 riding

[@LuciferTJ]

Just remember in Maine, that if the trail is clearly marked, STAY ON IT. There are some landowners who lose their minds if you so much as go 5 feet off the groomed sections. East of Mt Kineo at Moosehead lake, a section of trail was shut down outright for the better part of this season, because some sleds drove over a log pile that was covered in snow. While yes, doing that does zero harm... the landowner had the trail clearly marked with STAY ON TRAIL signs and this request was ignored... consequently the only way to get from one side of Moosehead lake to the other via the trail system, was to go completely around the lake through Pittson Farm and NorthEast Cary to Kokajo. This turned a

[@chucknorris277]

BASE? Liability for the landowner as far as Illinois know. Some sensible legislation from t.he state giving exemptions to landowners for liability would make sence

[@chucknorris277]

The base part was from previous comment. Please disregard. Love the trails

[@chucknorris277]

ILLINOIS? Lol FB has no idea what men would like to say. Sorry men

[@LuciferTJ]

@@chucknorris277 Thankfully here in Maine we have a SWEET landowner liability law. Basically, unless you make booby traps or create some kind of hazard to intentionally hurt people (or don't mark a known hazard, like an open well) and someone comes on your land and gets hurt, it's not your fault. Which seems pretty obvious... but attorneys will attorney. It's a little different for commercial property, but as a private landowner, you can't be held responsible because someone yeets their sled off a natural cliff on your land and dies.

[@zx10rgofast]

That’s a good ride, but Rockwood is some of the most beat up moguls trails in the entire state. Seboomok, Pittston Farms, NE Carry is usually nice.

I love riding up to dixfeild peak. It's part of our every weekend ride. I acutely blew up one of my sled going up the back side this year, (the side you guys went down) it was a 1999 Polaris xc 700 and it seized a crank bearing, but it had over 23,000 all original miles

Cool to see u guys ride the trails I just rode over the weekend.

[@HowardOchs]

Just a quick correction. It’s great here in Maine, though you CANNOT just jump off trail anyplace you please! Landowners don’t appreciate that and since we rely on the generosity of landowners for our very trails, best not piss ‘em off! We’d like to keep our trails open, thank you very much! We also don’t have a speed limit here, as opposed to New Hampshire’s 45 mph. They conveniently failed to mention that in their story. Looks like they failed to abide by that law in many parts as well!

[@northcountrychamberofcomme9763]

Thanks for coming North!

[@richardbrewin4165]

How come there isn't a dual registration you can buy that will allow you to go back and forth between states . You don't need to register your vehicle in every state you drive in ? The money that could be spent on fuel , food and lodging with someone able to ride from Errol to Rangley not just on a reciprocal day or weekend would I believe offset any missed registration fee .

[@brokenujoints3811]

Rangeley Lakes and beyond is fantastic. Then again, on trails like that with a turbo sidewinder, what's not to like?

Jackson Zenk, you are correct. Millanocket, Greenville, Jackman, fort kent, Rangley too. I rode from millanocket to fort kent 272 miles in a day on my 2006 apex gt only going 32 miles in the wrong direction. when you miss a turn at 100 mph and don't realize it for 5 miles that's 10 miles out of the way, if you don't miss it again ripping back lol.

[@jimvk1]

No speed limit in Maine on the trails as long as you remain right of center and in control enough to stop if a fish and game officer pops out and flags you to stop. do not lock up the track and cross centerline of trail or you will get a ticket. but go 100 mph all you want just stay in control of your machine, and ride within the limits of terrain, surroundings, visibility, and skill level. And have fun. Maine rocks I love NH also, just 45mph speed limit is a bit hard to follow and still stay warm and awake.....lol

[@fiily1]

Sitting here 1-6-2025 in NH with no snow for a month, green grass everywhere. It's disappointing to say the least with 2 years of no/low snow condition on the trails.

Great video, too bad you didn't make it to bosebuck for lunch. If you start in Rangeley, ME you can reach the same backcountry you were in and then some all without trailering. Rangeley Snowmobile Club is the largest club in the state of Maine and is the gateway to other great trail systems in Eustis, Jackman, The forks, Greenville and Millinocket. If you come back again be sure to explore those areas. By The Way you guys are the most unbiased Reviewers out there and seeing you showcase the Polaris' strong points is great and that's coming from a skidoo rider.

Maine isn't completely open to off trail riding. Yes, there are some good spots but you need to trailer to a large portion of the areas. A lot of trails are available because of land owners and most of them don't want you off the trails they allow.
