    Not looking for a setup where I have to grunt machines around to make them fit, too old for that LOL.  Does anyone have any experience with brands other than Triton?  How do they compare?

    I’d also look into the Nitro Trailers. Very similar in design to the Triton 

  2. I’ve been using the Mission since the first year and love it, Karen loved her oxygen helmet but we bought her a Mission as it drove her crazy seeing me rarely ever plugged in, last season the oxygen never got used once. I’ll keep it as a spare for her if nothing else.

    Way to go, Snowcrest  Riders.  
    Thanks. 

    And great pic of current conditions, Re: Leaf.  I looked for Wihnara Road basic mapping software, coudn't see where it met the train tracks, for some reason - the pic will assist during the winter ahead.

     

     

     

     

    Train tracks are at the very end of Kilty Switch, if you are heading south on the D trail from Bracebridge, you will pass Muskoka Brewery, short bit down the trail you cross the train tracks and our reroute will be a right turn heading south, It's all been signed recently.

  4. For those that don’t follow Snowcrest on Fb I thought I’d share that we were able to obtain permission from 2 landowners to get us off Winhara rd and connect to Kilty Switch by the train tracks. It’s been quite a bit of a process and tons of hours to complete. Many thanks to everyone involved in this undertaking. 
    here’s a couple pics of the work involved.

    I am curious, seeing as most here are seasoned riders, what is the advantage of booking with a tour company, like the one in NB?

    I understand the need of course for say a trip to Moosonee given its location & terrain or a trip out West in the mountains.

     

     

    The deal breaker was the chase vehicle and not having to carry saddlebags, oil, etc on the sleds for the week and tbh, I just dont have the time to try and plan everything this year and hope we got it right as far as destinations etc etc.  For the extra few bucks we felt it was worth it 100%,

    I've never needed to run scratchers on my 6000rs (129) but last year my wife's 6000ltd (137) was over heating on marginal and hard packed trails.

     

    As I'm expecting delivery of a 850 XCR 136 this fall (fingers crossed..lol) I'm wondering what scratchers/accessories are the best out there.

     

    Quali Pieces look well made, so do Straightline performance.

     

    Thoughts? Recommendations?

     

    TIA<

    P.

    I am going with cable scratchers mounted to my a arms this year, used the ACS ones last year but going with a different brand and mounts for the new sled.

  7. I was there Friday wandering around the show and chatting with everyone, Ordered a set of the Qualipieces Trek carbides for Karen's sled, very interesting design with the dual carbide offset. 

    Saturday I was at the District 7 booth from 10-2 and saw a few OC members which was nice, Spent the rest of the afternoon at the Polaris booth and various others, It was well attended, not as many retail vendors as years past was the feeling from most, The OFSC district booths were done quite well, Thanks to everyone that attended.

     

    Met up with MJ the Ski Doo Ambassador for some pics and lunch, After the Show was over a bunch of us including Blair Morgan and Dave Norona met at Arizona Bar and Grill for dinner and drinks. All in all a great albeit long weekend of talking sleds.

     

    Booked our New Brunswick trip for March this morning with the guys from Ontario Quebec Snow Cruises.

    Great information. Thanks.

     

    There were some quick sections between Dville and Hornepayne. Wonder where this replacement is:

     

    "Trail reroute of 60 kilometres of trail D108A between Dubreuilville and Hornepayne"

     

     

    I believe the re route will be getting the trails off some of the logging roads if I am correct.

  9. Sorry guys, been kinda of swamped the past few weeks with work, Club stuff and family stuff.

    We are planning on going to New Brunswick this year for a week or so in early March. And the normal trip or two to Northern Ontario.

    I will be at the District 7 booth on the Saturday for the Toronto Sled Show, Stop in and say hi if you are around, Might be going on the Friday to take the show in as a visitor as well.

    I have a couple buddies that have these sleds     Actually one is for sale     Not sure if he can or even should sell it  until the fix ?

    There is a stop ride on them until the recall is fixed on them, Personally as I have sold my 2022 XCR am going to wait to finalize the purchase and same for the 2023 on order till this is all dealt with. Hands are kinda of tied right now

  11. I would imagine we are going to hear about a fix coming very soon, I can see the backlog of customers getting sleds to the dealers becoming a real problem. Crossing my fingers it is dealt with soon.
