Mario Duchaine

Mario was born and raised in the beautiful suburbs of Quebec City.

After studying engineering, he pursued a career in medical device research and development, eventually ending his career as a sales representative for the Quebec City region. A wonderful 44-year adventure with the same company!

Mario has been passionate about motorsports since he was a child. He’s ridden dirt bikes, motocross bikes, touring motorcycles, and ATVs—everything with wheels!

The passion began on a Saturday morning in December 1974, when a pickup truck showed up at the family house; delivery of a 1974 Bombardier Olympique 400! I was 12 years old! And off we went…26 snowmobiles later.

Over the years, more than 50, he has traveled and re-traveled the trails of Quebec with an in-depth knowledge of the territory. You’ll never get lost with him… in theory, LOL.

Mario met Gary in December 2023 by pure chance at a Charlevoix lodge. While chatting, he expressed his dream and desire to become a guide. His certification was in progress, Gary gave him a business card…In December 2024, He officially became part of the team.

Mario is certified as a Quebec guide, in wilderness first aid and CPR/AED.

He drives a 2025 Ski-Doo Grand Touring 900 Turbo R snowmobile.

Mario enjoys spending time in nature with his two grown children, his three grandchildren, and his family. He loves the outdoors, hiking, and fishing.

Mario’s approach is about customer satisfaction above all else, “I am at your service” for the best possible adventure, he says! Enjoy!
