PISTON LAKE CRUISER

The ad is from a legitimate trailer manufacturer as mentioned in the text if you read it. While not a large operation, I'm guessing the slow down in the economy may have hurt their sales and he's looking to free up some capital.

If anybody is looking to replace their trailer axles you should look at this. Its a marketplace ad from a trailer manufacturer located in part of the old Champion Road Grader plant in Goderich: Condition New Unheard of prices on our overstock Dexter axles. 100's of axles available for sale. $575 or less. See list in photos for sizes and pricing. Call or text Brian 519_654_8403 Located in Goderich at Canadian Trailer Company - 160 Maitland Rd. S. (back of the old Volvo building) Enter off Britannia Rd. across from Car Wash

Just got some for 1.41.3 at King & Ottawa. Up 2 cents since yesterday.

So here is the list to date. Still 2 that we aren't sure of or can't see which are numbers 12 and 13 #1 Rupp #2 Motoski. #3 Boa-ski #4 Arlberg #5 Snow-Hawk #6 SnoCruiser #7 Skidoo/ Olympic #8 Massey Ferguson/ Ski Whiz #9 Skidaddler/AMF #10 Mercury #11 Motoski #12 Skidoo?? #13Arctic Cat?? #14 Evinrude #15 John Deere #16Polaris #17Sno Jet #18 Bolens/Diablo Rouge

That's a brand that I have never heard of before. Thanks for your input.

Beltline and the one on the sea can also appears to have the small hood scoop. I'll go with your guess. Do you think the one you can't see well due to the tree might be an Arctic Cat? On my laptop I can enlarge the pic and think that might be what it is.

So far thanks to Blackstar & Crispy we have the following guesses: #1 Rupp #2 Motoski. #3 Boa-ski maybe? #4 Arlberg #5 Snow-Hawk #6 SnoCruiser #7 Skidoo/ Olympic #8 Massey Ferguson/ Ski Whiz #9 Skidaddler/AMF #10 Mercury #11 Motoski #12 #13Arctic Cat?? #14 Evinrude #15 John Deere #16Polaris #17Sno Jet #18 Bolens/Diablo Rouge Anybody see a Cat in that lineup? If these are what he parks outside, I wonder what's in the sea cans.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Outboard Marine Corp. /Sno Cruiser ? 7. Ski Doo / 8. Massey Ferguson / Ski Whiz 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Skiroule? 16. 17. 18. Bolens / Diablo Rouge

Since we likely won't be out riding this week, lets see if we can use our time to identify the brand and possibly model of the 18 sleds visible in the bottom picture starting with number 1 on the left side.

There's a whole bunch of yellow trails in the Mt. Valins area of Quebec this morning. The green area around Devil's mountain has gotten a lot smaller however.

Possibly but that little patch of green showed up about noon on Friday I believe. Also, I had read a statement earlier regarding the lake crossing warning shown on map near Ferme Neuve. This is the Devil's Mountain area and as scottyr mentioned it is a higher elevation area so would likely get any early snow .

If you can believe Weather Network, Cochrane 14 day forecast shows total maximum guesstimate snowfall of 14 cm.

Ironically, according to Windy snow depths, the Halfway Haven area D trail has the most snow of any trails in Ontario with about 20 cm. or 8 inches if you can believe Windy.

They were awesome sleds. Ditchbangers for sure. Light and fast. I took a flying lesson on one off the top of a hill on the gasline north of N.Bay when it was nearly new. Hard lesson LOL

On my laptop the open trail colouring(s) show when the map opens without clicking on the snowflake.

I see the big railbed (Quebec 93) from Desmaraisville past Chapais and almost to Chibougamau is officially open.

Rich Saul did a trip last year from west of T.Bay and posted about it on this forum somewhere but I believe they were told to avoid the local trails around Kenora.

Chicken Jerky no doubt

Kap and Timmins had groomer tractors out packing today.

Not in our group Ox. We have always made sure we keep an eye behind. Most distance back to find the guy(s) behind is normally no more than a couple of miles .

I sure that I was told a few years ago that groomers are not to start grooming snow until Dec.1 but I'm old with a bad memory so..... I guess if that is correct, they could at least start packing without the drag before that.

Discussed many times on this and other forums. A number of guys have tried to figure out a route but I have never seen anything in print about it being completed. Seems like hiring someone with a trailer to get you from Geraldton to west of Thunder Bay is the best bet.

So do you think the approx. $8000.00 price difference would help justify the higher premium if not the risk?

Your "regular" 900 is what 100 hp? 180 hp. would make a difference I believe from a risk standpoint.
