    The Official Annapolis Valley Nova Scotia Snowmobiling Thread

    Well Im back. Update overdue I guess. Last season was very trying as it saw me accumulate a grand total of 196kms. Since I've owned the sled (2016) It as a whooping 1500kms. With the end of last season I've decided to leave the sport as winters in the valley suck and its simple not worth owning a sled in these parts. I sold both the truck and trail and the sled is up for sale. If I get posted back to Ontario one of the first things I'll do is go in an buy a new sled. The winters here have really ruined it for me.

    Great pics!! How are liking your X?

     So far so good. I have the preload set pretty much where I want it on both the RTS and FTS. As everyone who has one knows the machine is incredible thru the bumps. The top end on the 800 is ok. I feel the sled is missing something there. Guys are recommending going to a team tied secondary along with more weight in the primary so I might go that route. Only issue I have so far is this god awful noise when the sled is in reverse,appears to be coming from the primary which works fine going forward.

    Blizzard WarningIssued at 04:30 Monday 08 February 2016
     
    Summary

    Blizzard conditions with poor visibility in snow and blowing snow are expected or occurring. A low pressure system currently east of Cape Hatteras will track northeastward today then pass south of Nova Scotia tonight. Snow associated with this system will begin this morning over southwestern portions of the province then spread eastward through the day. Strong northeast winds combined with the falling snow will result in widespread blowing snow and reduced visibilities. Snowfall amounts near 30 centimetres are currently expected over much of Nova Scotia. The snow will taper to flurries through the day on Tuesday. Additionally this system will give higher than normal water levels and rough surf along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia at the high tides tonight and again Tuesday morning. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Blizzard warnings are issued when widespread reduced visibilities of 400 metres or less are expected for at least 4 hours. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to weatherASPC@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports to #NSStorm.

    Sorry folks but like alot of areas throughout Canada we are experiencing a low snow year therefore not much to report or take pics of. Right now we are in the beginning ANOTHER massive meltdown with temps soaring to plus 12 tomorrow. Normally I'd say whatever but when you compare to the record setting totals we had last year it kinda feels like mother nature punched you in the gut. Still we could see a turnaround, if not I plan to do some comparison shots between the snowfall last year and this years snowfall. Will be quite interesting to see.

    Female snowmobilier killed near Armstrong Lake

     

    Good morning Crossburn Snowmobilers,

    As many of you now know, we had a fatality on our club trail system yesterday near Armstrong Lake. First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time. On behalf of the Crossburn Snowmobile Club, I would like to pass along our condolences to the family involved in this incident.

    I also want to thank the many people from our club and the surrounding communities of East Dalhousie and Armstrong Lake who pulled together very quickly to assist the emergency service providers.

    This unfortunate incident is a reminder of what can happen and I encourage all snowmobilers to ride safe.
