No but I did have a peak at the Sherp they say was used in Fort McMurray. Looks like it should go just about anywhere. I think if you got it stuck it would mean you are in real trouble. Then I did take a look at the new F150 Lariat.... still think I prefer the King Ranch and if I go that route it would be my 5th King Ranch.

gobills Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yes the sherp is very cool. You can actually get them made how you want interior wise. I was checking out the f150 leaf edition being a leaf fan I though it was very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I saw Livin', irREVerent, STG, 14Snow, Snocrazy, WB, and a couple of others. The show seemed bigger with more real vendors (actually selling things). Enjoyed the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the sled jumps at 3 kids had fun. Got some bergerstom skegs, new t shirts and sweatshirts for some amazing prices. Saw my sled in person rather than just a picture on the Internet. My little guy and I watched the show at 3. Was cool. I thought they were going to high 5 the roof! Met wild bill in person while buying a suit from him and hung out with Jim bob for good part of the show. Country corners had great deal on jackets for 40 bucks out the door. For my first show, I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the day Bored with my current job I have applied for work with a secretive government agency - can't divulge the name but I'll give you the initials CSIS - and thought that the sled show would be a good place to practice field craft with the help of some supplies from the drama department at work. Any of you guys above remember a man in coveralls, a red beard, and walking with the assistance of a cane? Maybe at the Quebec section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just got home from the show. Picked up a few things. Nice to see Revrnd, Chandos Rob and Nunz. The show seemed a bit better then in previous years. Had a conversation with the OFSC treasurer near the Husky groomer. WOW! is all i will say about that!.. Chatted with a few reps from the Northern Corridor du Nord. And spent a bit of time at the quebec boths. All in all a good day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just got home from a great weekend at the sled show, Met lots of OC members and had a blast Saturday at the Gravenhurst booth, I’ll definitely do that again in the future, Karen and I went today as visitors to the show and ordered a set of the Qualpieces dual carbide runners and a bunch of Polaris oil that was on Sale. It certainly was amazing seeing everyone and I swear you could feel the buzz about the coming season. Had a nice long with the Quebec operators about our big trip to Gaspe this coming year.

Ran into a couple of other sledding friends too. lots of comments about why can't they have the district number on the maps. I'm wondering, "Why can't the districts be grouped in 1 area like they did a few years ago?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It was nice meeting so many oc'ers at the show it was much busier than last year but still not up to full stride . As always we enjoyed the get together and meal Nunz and Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamatario Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Really, no district numbers on maps again...so much easier with zone and district number on map cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I assume this may be due to the fact that at some point, the districts are being rejigged, renamed, renumbered, etc. For now I guess it's time to break out the black magic marker.

SuperG Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Sorry I had to work of course this whole weekend and didnt get to go . From what im hearing though is that it was pretty well the same ole same ole and they screwed the districts up again by having them scattered around so I might not have missed much although I would have liked to have seen Larry Berrio again.

Not only are all the districts scattered among a bunch of retail booths, the district maps don't have the district numbers on them anymore. They have the geographic description in print across the top. Makes it really inconvenient for someone trying to locate a specific area map. While at the D7 booth someone came by, looked at the map posted on the back wall and asked for the area just south of there. In the past D8 would have been right beside D7. This year they were up an aisle running away from the D7 booth about 3 booths up. I try to focus on getting the maps of where I am most likely to ride. D7, D8, D10 and D9. They made it easy for D7 & D10 with them side by side but the rest were a bit of a hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that has been consistent at least is the colour. D7 green, D10 yellow and D8 brown. I wonder what will happen with the maps when the merge of D7 and D10 evolves. Hopefully they will keep two separate maps. Trying to put everything onto one map would be a nightmare and likely the scale would make it difficult to follow.

OFSC Districts D7 and D10, when combined, will be one of the smaller of the 12 districts in terms of geographic size and kilometres of trails.
