I prefer the bar warmers on my sled.
These things keep the back of hands and fingers warm. We also fish so nice for that as well as skiing. The gloves are nicer than any klims, or for and cost the same or less even if you rarely used the heat.

Unless the couple work for a company that has a pension plan, I think the above would be an exception.
Just speculating though.I guess so, but it is what you need to do if you do not want to sell the house to retire and actually e joy being retired. Maybe that description is upper middle class. I am just guessing here. By the sounds of it 90% are in huge debt both secured and in Cc debt. When I was a kid many paid cash for the house, most paid cash for cars and nobody had any cc debt.

Last time I heard of the middle class target, it was a rather large one with lots of doubts surrounding it, so I imagine it is the same now.....if there is an actual target that is that makes sense.
Personally I think the debt load ones carries is a bigger factor vs. what a family makes......of course the more you make, the more you tend to spend.
Yes debt will kill you eventually, unless the debt has been used to obtain an asset that grows faster than interest and inflation. I think a lot of Canadians are in over their heads right now.

Seems high for average middle class.
Pretty much need that income to buy a house in any urban center. I guess it depends on how we define middle class. I define it as owning a home 2 vehicles and saving 20% of gross income for retirement.

Anyone know what the actual "middle class" boundaries are now a days......
I would guess 150k family income

Being the moronic government of Canada is financing spending by having the BoC create more new money, 54 billion more, while they raise interest rates to curb inflation caused by printing billions over the past 3 years. No, inflation is here to stay, but it will become stagnation. High prices, slow economy. This is all by design to kill off the middle class.

Just rolled by the trqns canada trail near Ashton station road, no packing yet, lots of snow on trail. I would expect they are going to be out soon.

I would expect to see a few rail bed trails getting yellow status by new years or before. Any low lying wet areas, not for a while.

I have seen a lot of trucks loaded with ski doos, not any of the others. Glad your sled arrived.

TC167. Full stop not up for discussion. Light, easy to access interior. Not that long for parking . Well made.
Only problem I have with low height trailers is everyone once in a awhile you forget they are low and crack your skull off the roof walking in. This usually happens in the summer when you have had a few too many and you want to start up the 2 stroke at midnight just to listen to it and smell some exhaust....................well maybe thats just me.
Mine is low. Walking in is pain. Also it will not hold a sxs. You lose a lot of utility. I regret not getting a taller one. Now, if you will only ever use it for sleds it is great, but the op stated long term ownership, and life brings changes, so I would suggest a 16 footer that is tall.

I did some Google research. Toronto talked about legal drinking in parks last spring but put the decision off for a year. I could find no information on any public beaches or parks in Ontario that have legal drinking allowed.
Provincial parks do. The province basically left it up to municipalities. Unorganized townships are ok to drink in public. However being drunk in public is still on offence.

My paid version crashes when i try routing. Hope they fix it. Still a must have for the price of a starbucks

I have to wear glasses. Think it best to go try on the mission and the oxygen and see which works best. The wife also needs a new lid so it would seem either would be good for her. This is one of the few items I am happy to replace after the fire. Always enjoy getting new sled gear.

I found this. A patented and priority link system to allow for a connection for heated visors, vest, socks etc. I was wondering more about the comment, "we should all be using a tether imo" ??
That is a great idea.

Going to post the same about golf courses plus there is a garbage can at each tee block!I think the issue is less of one now than it was.
Average age of riders is getting higher each and every year, those same riders 10+ years ago were likely more apt to have one or more trail side drinks whereas now, I don’t think they are, plus more folks are not so willing to tolerate it anymore.
I know this will and is a divided topic, but personally having a trail side drink doesn’t bother me, no different than having one with your lunch, and if you look around at restaurants, there aren’t many there not having a drink whether it be at the trail side restaurants, business lunch, etc….just be responsible, we all have someone waiting for us to come home too.To be fair, the legal limit is anything under 0.05 bac. Not to mention, drinking in public is legal in ontario in many spots. Hence, legal activity to have one trailside beer. I fail to see the issue. Impaired is another story.

How is sizing compared to ckx etc.?
Thanks.

I have 2 klim suits. One is a valdez jacket with free ride pant, non insulated, the other is insulated. The valdez is older, the insulated one season old. Layering is better imo, rode in that set up down to minus forty. Will not bother with insulated gear in future when I buy again. The suit is too warm at times.

Is it safe to say that COVID pricing is over?

Covid shut down the economy. Had the government not flooded it with new money we would have gone into a major recession. However they way over did it from all sides, closed too much and printed too much. Then pretended the printing had no effect on inflation and insisted it was transitory. Clearly we have seen a depreciation of currency value close to 25% over a period of 3 years and being the liberals are financing their idiotic spending with new money it, currency, will continue to decrease in value for the next 2 years. This, combined with the overnight rate moving ever higher will cause a real issue, a slow economy with high inflation still persisting. Those that carry debt will hurt the most, the liberals will raise taxes and print money to support the poor while stripping net worth from the middle income earners. Make no mistake, this was planned. A short grade ten class studying macro economics would be enough understanding to see this. Those that implemented it hold MBAs.
