I got mine today. Ending in 48xx.

That sucks. It is the best trail of the entire loop IMO.

Well. I was caught in a weak moment and ordered 1 permit. I never even used it / stuck it on last year and ended up giving it to a buddy who was going to Cochrane at the end of the season. Hopefully this season is better.

If my dad doesnt want to ride this winter, I doubt I will even buy an Ontario permit this year. If I have to drive 4 hrs to ride, I might as well drive 6 and go to Quebec. With my job it is easier for me to book a Thursday to Monday off than it is for me to go riding on a Sat or Sun for the day locally.

Congrats.

Congrats! The used sled market seems to be pretty soft.

We did it in 2022. I remember because I was on my 22 600XRS and it was the ideal machine for the tight and twisty trails. The only thing that really stood out was the fact that the trails were so narrow it was borderline dangerous meeting another group coming the opposite direction. Both sides had to have their right skis completely off the trail.

My buddy has a cottage between Wiarton and Lions Head. We rode to Tobermory and back a few years ago and it took us all day to go 200kms round trip. Its a goat path. Not a real enjoyable trail. I wouldnt hurry back to do it again.

I agree with this to a point. I have offered to volunteer several times to our local clubs and rarely get a response. I think some of the old guys would rather complain about having no help than actually having help.

The official motorcycle of the Lesbian Community. LOL

Skidoo production officially began last week. Base model Summits are always the 1st machines on/off the line.

I was thinking the same thing.......

My sister in law is a road building engineer with SNC Lavalin and she said that part of the reason that that there is less snow on the roads is because the ditches are more than double the depth than they were even 25 years ago.

All of my crew are buying the early bird Quebec permits this year.

I called a contractor buddy about re-doing my downstairs bathroom. I asked him 18 months ago and he said it would be 6 months min before he could start it. He told me he could start the Tuesday after the Long Weekend if I wanted to go ahead with the job now.

I am seeing the same used sleds on my watchlists just sitting and sitting. There is zero motivation today for people to buy anything recreational according to my buddies in the boat, motorcycle and RV business.

Don Coffey Sales tried that about 30 years ago and it put them out of business.

I know and its not my place to say, but they are not as bad as people are saying. I know of several dealers that were down 80-90% from last years #s.

Most of the smart ones know that they are going to give some of that money back over the next couple of years.

I talked to a guy in Sudbury a few mins ago and those prices are legit. $17200 out the door for a Sidewinder.

How is this for a deal? Not sure if this is some type of April Fools joke? https://sudburyyamaha.ca/en/Snowmobile/adid/31183921/2024-Yamaha-SRViper-L-TX-GT-Sudbury-ON/ Waiting for Farmer to say that he might offer them $8K and see if they take it. LOL.

New sleds arent going to be more money in the fall than they are today. Once the manufacturers wipe the tears and/or puke off their desks after seeing Snow Check orders they will have no choice but to heavily rebate non-currents. I was told 2nd hand, but by someone in the Powersports Business that the Polaris dealer in Sudbury has well over 200 new 2023/2024 sleds in stock right now. They will need some serious assistance to get rid of those or they will risk going broke.

Thats not a surprise based on the #s I am hearing that St Onge did. That being said, there were still SRXs available as of last Thursday and they were only building 998 of them.

That sled has been for sale since last fall. The decals are not the correct ones for the machine. My spidey sense is telling me there is a story about that sled.

850s from any brand are a gamble out of warranty. That is why I am looking for a 600R. I have no problem buying a lower mileage one that has no warranty.
