The experience of riding seventy miles without stopping for a road crossing or encountering another rider can be thrilling. As the name suggests, this trip is about spirited riding, big miles, and smooth trails, and we are ready to hit the season at full throttle!
Leaving well-traveled routes and marginal conditions behind, every mile forward is a new adventure. For an authentic experience, this tour starts from St. Raymond and saddlebags over 200 miles to comfortable outfitter lodging each night. With a hot shower, warm bed, and friendly bartender, each destination allows the night to unfold with plenty of laughs and stories.
A long-distance trip is by its very nature a significant accomplishment when completed. Our approach involves maximizing the experience while minimizing the risk. In this effort, there is no substitute for experience. We have learned many lessons over the years, all of which directly impact the way in which we conduct our trips. With our preparation, satellite communication tools, and our network of preferred service providers to rely upon, our experience in long-distance touring makes a significant difference.
Lunch is served at a fully staffed “relais” where electricity is generated on site, and the employees sleep there for weeks at a time. If all goes as planned, by late afternoon, we are within striking distance of the night’s destination.
The formula of the Big Bore is the constant testing of driver and machine, and the diverse terrain of this region always delivers. With an abundance of trail types and variety, there is a constant trail transition from open landscapes for throttle down riding to tighter wooded terrain where the maneuverability of the sled shines. A favorite highlight of this trip is an 80 mile stretch of trail dubbed Piston Alley, where sleds can be tested and the thrill of these great machines is realized.
If your sled is not up for a long trip, consider renting a current year Ski-doo snowmobile. Our rental sleds come with a warm suit, helmet and trail permit. Power choices range from 60 – 165 horsepower.
