If your referring to a 24’ viper, then ya it should be.

Skidoo is offering $1k off 24’s right now, along with “special financing” or an extended warranty. Not enough to entice me…

Exactly, why buy now and have your money tied up? I would expect a killer deal if I were to buy right now

That’s too much for a used sled that’s 4yrs old likely with no warranty. I can get a brand new 24’ right now out in Quebec for $16,499

We were originally planning on a 650 Polaris for weight reasons, but that 650 is roughly 508lbs vs the Doo at 528lbs. I don’t think she’ll notice the 20lbs. The doo is $1k more than the poo, but has a four stroke that should outlast the 650 engine no problem. I don’t see the point in 2 strokes anymore due to having to rebuild them eventually. I’m not the kind of guy that trades up every 2nd or 3rd year, I like to keep them for a long time. My viper has 15,000kms on it and doesn’t owe me anything. I’ll likely get another 15km out of it before I get rid of it. I’m hoping for the same experience with another 4 stroke. I love the viper, but can’t justify spending $22k+++ for the wife. Honestly, I’d just get the 900 if I knew for certain I wasn’t going to ride it!

I’m a four stroke guy. Cat has nothing but a $30k hyper sled, Polaris didn’t put a turbo on the S4 and 90hp just isn’t enough, Yamaha is exiting the game with a $22k viper, so that leaves skidoo. looking at a leftover 24MY renegade adrenaline 900 turbo at some point this year. We’ll see what deals pop up. $17,800+++ ain’t too bad for a 130hp sled for a 25MY. I remember paying $14,600+++ for my 2018 viper brand new. I certainly don’t need a $25-$30k sled, but some people have money to burn and that’s ok too. I’ve never been a skidoo guy, but I feel they offer the best value for the 130hp 4 stroke class, not to mention all the accessories available.

Pretty sure I saw a cat dealer offering a 5 yr warranty. I believe it was rockland wheels. never heard of a 5yr warranty on a sled before

710kms here. The nice thing about this season…I don’t have to do any maintenance to the sled. Definitely ready to go for next season!

3” in fergus today, still going lightly. My dad got 6” up in penetanguishene. Supposedly still goin up there.

My Dad just saw a guy riding up the penetang harbour on his sled by himself pretty much at the mouth of the harbour.

Taxed on top of the tax, it only makes sense 🤷🏼‍♂️ Poop for brains is an understatement…

He’ll definitely be pushing the climate change narrative after this winter

9R would be my guess if it’s a high HP trail sled.

I can’t believe Kearney has been holding on this long. We were in Kearney last year when it was thin and the trails were table top so I’m not surprised. They always do a pretty good job and staying on top of maintaining the trails clearly helps.

I heard they were getting over 2” per hour

Polaris might put a turbo on the S4. That could be pushed back though given that there’s so many leftovers and new sleds that still haven’t sold yet. manufacturers need to either reduce prices ALOT, or offer major incentives to get people to spend their money in this current economy…especially after this winter

I think this coming week unfortunately could be the final nail in the coffin. The ground isn’t frozen, and water is flowing in a lot of places. Even if we do get a big storm mid February, I personally think it won’t last or that there wont be enough time to reopen the trails. I hate to be that guy, but I think this season is done. These are just my thoughts, and I’ve been wrong many times before but forecast is showing 7 days in a row of above average temperatures with 5 straight days of sun and more rain to follow after that.

Those pictures definitely look pretty rough.

Or more

Ya I saw that too, it’s stupid no doubt. My wife and I have talked about a SXS, they are definitely worth the money if you have it. I’m waiting to see what skidoo & Polaris have to offer. Wife wants another sled and we’re leaning towards skidoo. Cat & Yamaha are out of the question though.

Yep, almost $30k out the door. Nuts!!!

Cat just released their 25’s and all the pricing. Crazy pricing lol.

Almaguin just shut their trails down north of Kearney. Highland rovers are still open, but I can almost guarantee they will be fairly thin, flat, but thin.

Just can’t win this season. Thankful for the 600kms so far this season, but the forecast is not looking good at all. Hopefully we don’t get too much rain tomorrow & Thursday. about 6-7 days in a row of above temperatures going into February. Brutal & challenging season for all of us.

Damn that was close! The little bit of riding I have done so far this season has been without my little glove mirror. They work great for glancing back to see what’s coming at road crossings if your crossing on an angle like that. Finally found it in the hall closet, ready for the next ride!
