Yes and we don't get same weather as Quebec either. In a normal winter Ontario is nice. Hopefully winters return before everyone gives up on sledding here at home 🙏.
100% we need snow - and need it in areas not north of North Bay to make everything work.
OFSC can't control the weather

Its apples and oranges, Ontario is not Quebec and can't be Quebec.
We have to deal with what Ontario has -and find better ways to deal with what Ontario has.

OFSC is doomed. They need to follow the FCMQ model with more provincial funding.
It’s insurance and liability legislation that needs to change first, then funding.

My sled will probably qualify for a classic permit before I replace it lol

I've been following the polaris pricing, 22 to 24 and they haven't moved much or at all since Jan. I expect that mid/late March will be the time for the best selection and prices. Even if the published price hasn't dropped it would be worth a phone call.
Some dealers have lots of stock.
Might be time for the manu's to start offering some bigger incentives to help move these units along!

There certainly isn't much demand for them.
This winter I am sure will put a solid dent in the activity.
the hardcore will always be there, the fringe will find other things, and good luck convincing newbies.

It’s actually amazing reading all this and understanding how much time and running around you have had to do for an oopsies moment.
if my wife did that, she’d be done riding with me 😁

good luck. I elected to stay home. work has been nuts. Friends up there said its ok but mud and rocks everywhere,
Plus with the flash freeze cooling will be an issue. So i stayed home.
Oh well always next year. enjoy
Yeah, I'll be overheating all over the place.
My son's sled is air/fan cooled - so he will be fine and get to ride.
That'll be it looking at the forecast.
A little warmer tomorrow should soften things up a bit too.
Not ideal - but only chance we'll get to ride at all this winter

Not looking good for that yet again.

My buddy bought a left over '23 900R Adrenaline for $18k plus the crap, I think he was quoted $2k more for a '24. A cheap Sidewinder is $24k+ and a ThunderCat is $28k.
Throw $2k at the Doo and it will run with the Cat. Throw $800 at the Cat and the Doo is left behind.
The complaint about the Doo is that it runs out of gas at 70 mph while the Cat keeps on pulling.
Remember that I am riding the Suzuki Turbo Cat with a trail tune, (225HP cost me $400).
At 50 mph, you grab more throttle and it tries to pull the bars from your hands past 100 mph. The Doo is good down low but that top end rush is just not the same.
Wasn’t sure if you had the tune on the Cat, my buddy did one reasonably cheap too on his and it’s a weapon.

Been thinking about it. Gonna talk to Ledger for some details but I know he likes them.
One of the Sledaddicz guys had Ledger put the kit on his new 900R. They did an install video and he did a riding review from Gaspe.
I don't need one but.......lol
The throttle response is definitely lacking on these sleds compared to my Cat. Especially when you're at speed.
What’s the price gap between the almighty Cat and 900TR w/o the $2,000.00 upgrade?

No snow in Huntsville. We got a covering but there really is no base anymore
With the roads being bare - and revised lake access spots, hard to connect.
Tough season

Nice and crisp this morning.

I would ride those conditions if I really wanted to get out - but my sled would hate it and overheat like a motherfuXXer

To each their own, but I don’t know how they could be open with how things look up there.

The 600's, especially the carb version, were good running dependable motors. Polaris was slashing prices to win back buyers because the Fusion name had tainted everything.
They also had those 755's or what ever they were.
And the '05 and '06 900's were different designs.
The '07 IQ sleds were nothing more than the Fusion chassis with the mountain hood.
I'm sure Polaris would like to remove 2005-2009 from most sled buyer's memories.
I had the 07 IQ 600.
I put over 5000 100% trouble free miles on it.
It was also a very good sled
