Our Snowmobile Guides
Rick Rathbun
Rick Rathbun’s family introduced him to snowmobiling on their Tug Hill region farm in 1977, he was immediately hooked. His passion grew growing up with countless sleds, motorcycles or really “anything ” with an engine ultimately leading to his career path with General Electric and Momentive Performance within the engineering and maintenance teams.
Fast forward to 2020, and we find Rick, after two decades of exploring Quebec’s snowmobile trails, deciding to switch things up. He usually planned and navigated snowmobiling adventures with his buddies, but this time, he chose to contact BonVoyage for a change. To his surprise, this decision opened up a whole new world of stunning trails in Quebec he never knew existed.
Rick truly is the epitome of a “motorhead” and enjoys working in what his wife calls the “TajMa garage”. When they are not traveling or visiting their girls in New England they are home in Middle Grove NY with two four legged family member.
