  1. Did 30 miles last night fooling around on the lake and some little low lying areas. Unfortunately - we are screwed getting to the trails because of the roads being bare. I bet the trails are great - we just can't get there
  2. I think it's important to not forget how good we've had it and for how long - and that is 100% only because of the volunteers. In my opinion, the only thing that matters is the one we can't control - and that is the weather. When winters are winters - and there is an abundance of cold and snow - life is good. When they suck - we all sit and stare at the costs and armchair quarterback how it could be "better". If most or all clubs operate with efforts similar to those of our skeleton crew local club - then I don't know what else anyone could do and/or expect. No easy answer to any of it.
  3. Roads are shot...................... Going lake riding in about 2 hours
  4. Hoping to be up either the weekend or a little bit next week - hopefully conditions hold on for us.
  5. Man, lots of complaining about pricing of sleds ( myself included ) - yet we are expecting these ridiculous annual advancements on machines used 2-3 months out of the year. We are our own worst enemies as usual.
  6. Liked the release - sometimes you don't need to refine what's already as close to perfect as you can get. Great job Polaris.
  7. I guess it also depends on what you think you need and what is the latest and greatest and what you're willing to pay for. Sleds will never come back down to the cost I think I want to pay - and personally I don't see ENOUGH changes/refinement to warrant the cost difference between what I have and what is out there.
  8. I bet they will sell out. Seems sledder populace are loaded and the manu's know it!
  9. I'm not sure I will ever buy a new sled again. The one I am on now is the first used sled I ever bought. Had 310 miles on it - paid $9,000.00 with 2 more years of warranty left, 10 years later - still going strong!
  10. #'s I can't wrap my head around. It's absurd.
  11. Mixture at my house- plows buried sidewalks that are now frozen blocks of ice about 2' feet thick. city can clear it themselves now
  12. Take ride in Minnesota state, or almost any state, and count the Poo and Cats vs Doo's lol. The best thing Doo EVER did to grab market share was bring in the ride free for a year plan - they were first, got their teeth in and have never looked back - that coupled with good product of course. Brilliant really.
  13. I think it's a great time to be a Polaris person. Ski-doo is OVR
  14. Ya, no newer Poo here for this guy. Antiquated old Cat - kids get all the new stuff
  15. I see yellow back around our neck of the woods.: Going for a spin tomorrow
  16. So some snow tonight and tomorrow and we're in business?
  17. Good decision! I still did the rink ,still got passes for the sleds, still got use each of them on an extremely limited basis. All of it is a complete and utter waste of time and money - but getting those 2 rides and 3 skates - clears the mind a bit and makes it worth it. Easy come easy go, can't take it with ya as they say
  18. I have done the math on my rink for this year: New liner: 2 Water truck loads of Water 1 broken stick 3 days of use = $445.00 per skate lol Ready to put this winter behind and move onto to the nicer weather. I'm a winter guy, but if it's not going to be winter, then take the November all winter and shove it.
  19. Tomorrow will wreak havoc on what little is left in most of the province. I tip my hat to these volunteers. ALL THE WORK ......so frustrating.
