F-all snow between Parry Sound and Sudbury.

Looking like some of the best conditions are after it was assumed everything was done! Hope some of you get out there and get some.

They were better than okay for us. Rode well, quiet, good grip and wear was excellent, always over 100k on them. are there better tires? Of course there are, just like there are better vehicles than the ones I was driving with them too.

LTX are a great smooth tire.

Snows are coming off next week for me. We have more hours on the bike this week than the sleds all winter.

Huntsville Would normally be sledding all over the lake - stakes would be in etc.: It's gonzo

Ice is now out on our lake - earliest its been gone in the 36 years we have had a place there.

Been to the track 2 days this week with the bike. Suddenly okay with winter going bye bye.

Bucket list trip for me and my son one day. Good on you guys - way to get it done

100%, see my post re:new dirt bike.

Over 5 - less than 6. Can't recall exact #

I used to replace every year or two - back then it wasn't much to do that and the cost was fair for the use/enjoyment I was getting. My sled now is a dinosaur - but I paid 9k for it - with less than 300 miles and 3 years of full warranty. I've gotten more than my money's worth on it - but now the replacement dollars are extreme and until the time comes when I can actually ride - it'll be in the garage

I would say the leftover 2024. They're paying interest on it. Also hurt new sales when left-overs are around. When I picked up my sons dirt bike - the dealer mentioned he was happy to see the left-overs go - but in the same breath said the massive incentives from the manu. were killing their ability to sell anything used - so he wanted the left-overs on that particular deal gone gone gone

Not even close to enough. Now, the dealer could add on top of that - but not a lot - since they don't have a lot of room in them anyway. Manu's need to step up or they'll be following Yamaha within 5 years

I will use my sons dirt bike as an example. We were looking for lightly used cause I did not want to break the bank. found a non-current 2023 that the manu put a 3500 rebate on, plus dealer gave another 500.00 It was a no brainer 2023 got a lot of upgrades over the 2022, 2024/2025 very few changes from 2023. there was no need to go current model year or used at that point.

I would say that it completely depends on what incentives there are on the non currents. The rebates need to be pretty big. 4 year warranty is nice to have. tech is meh

Yup ,carbed fanner. Worked perfect

Best looking sled

yes, but there is very little coming in behind those people - and even people with financial freedom - they didn't get there making stupid decisions with their money, and 30k on a sled in Ontario would fall into that category all day long - rich or not - it's just stupid lol. People will start finding other things to do with their time and money if things don't get better

Yup, once sleds crept past the 20k mark - you lost a lot of people. The crunch for spare cash for a lot of people now is real - new payroll taxes, carbon taxes, inflation etc. - is eating into discretionary income. At 20k plus for a sled - that unless you trailered far this season- was essentially un-useable - you're into a small demographic of diehards. $ and weather will be the death of sledding as you knew it The system alone can't sustain itself on those diehards

I rode my sons 550 Sport a little the day we got out. It is light, has decent jam, and if you are a good rider, riding Muskoka trails, ( not Quebec and up north), it will keep up with anyone. what I loved about it most was no temp gauge and scratchers non sense. Gas, oil, and go. You can still have a lot of fun w/o spending 25k plus on a stupid snowmobile. i have never not had a sled, 25+ is the end for me.

that looks horrible - I can get better conditions close to any arena in Ontario. Season is done!

Hey, at least they're not at work and likely to sit around, put a few back and find a way to have a good time and a few laughs. Wonder how many sleds will have "electrical fires' in the next week or so

March 4/2024 and the province is out of winter. What a crazy crazy winter

👍🏻 we got the electric pump/syphon, works great.
