Nunz

We are having a fun ride on Sunday, meeting at 930am Gull Lake Parking lot, I posted it on our FB Page, Would be nice to see some OC Members out for it.

Snowcrest Riders Gravenhurst will have most of our trail system available for the weekend. Get out there and ride.!! Be safe

Congrats!!

PM me, We will be in Cochrane starting Sat March 5th and heading towards Hearst and Dub then back till the 12th

Mrs Nunz sled is at the dealer, picking it up by the weekend, Mine is still in transit.

He was running the snowtrackers actually, was very impressed at the lack of darting on the loose snow Nunzio

I was at a friends cottage on the weekend and we got to ride his Matryx 650 137 and his 2022 Renegade 900R, was very interesting to compare them and see the differences. Personally for me if I was riding Northern Ontario or Quebec the 4 stroke would make a ton of sense, for tight and twisty trails we all preferred the 2 stroke 650 Polaris. You could really notice the weight on the front end. He had also taken his 900R to Accelerated Tech to have it revalved and dual rate springs and torsion springs, He said it is night and day different with the proper set up on it. Both great sleds for sure albeit different. I think if Polaris were to bring a 4 stroke out I would certainly consider one but only after spending some seat time on it.

Can’t wait to see what it is!!

Our team has been out this trying to see if we could open more trails this weekend but the consensus is obviously we need another dump of snow, it wouldn’t take a lot to ruin the base with a lot of traffic. It’s sure been a tough year. I feel for the tourism related businesses this year for sure.

Just spent the morning booking hotels and planning routes for our big Northern Ontario Trip starting March 5th, Hoping to see some OC members up there. Also booked a few days in Mattawa starting Family Day weekend. Getting excited and looking forward to putting some big miles on.

Our District- 7 is going to try with a twist on Trail Patrol this season and for seasons to come with Vest Labelled " Trail Ambassador" and District 7 on them, All members clubs will have riders wearing the vests with the idea being that if there is a perception of a Presence on the trail it may reduce the issues that are harming our sport. Is it the answer to all the problems, No but I feel it is a start, We have developed guidelines based on the OFSC Trail Patrol program and modified it a bit, ie carrying maps and information but also to try and educate riders while we are out there ourselves on the trails Will be interesting to see the response we get as more trails start to open. As many other have said above something needs to be done and quickly to save what has been created and to sustain our sport.

lol, really hoping both sleds arrive in the next week or so, Between working on club stuff and trying to plan a couple trips north is getting very frustrating to say the least. Reached out to a buddy so I could have his sled to sit on for the interview was kinda funny though. Trying to stay positive for the time being.

Did an interview with Ctv news yesterday, take a watch. https://barrie.ctvnews.ca/mobile/video?cid=sm%3Atrueanthem%3Actvbarrie%3Apost&clipId=2367618&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0O_fAT5aotMPwsYNFL4zorOINj_NwRRUDAKSoxAEykoOLNrbdAwwdP9hU

Snowcrest opened a small section of trail yesterday, Looks like Baysville club and Highland Rovers did also. It is a start but we need much more snow for sure.

Spoke with our Dealer this am and my XCR shipped last week and Mrs Nunz's sled has shipped as well so hoping we see them in the next couple of weeks. Once they arrive will start booking trips for February and March.

We have been out Packing with the groomer and bearcats, getting much closer to opening in Gravenhurst. Quite a few of the Muskoka clubs have been posting on FB updates

Hopefully the issues causing the trail to be closed can be resolved somehow and have the trail opened up this year. That being said I think there is more to the story which hopefully questions that are being asked are answered.

Like others have said I would certainly try and see if you could demo or get a chance to try a couple of the sleds you are considering, Both brands build great sleds and very different seating positions and handling on them 2 stroke vs 4 stroke. We ordered my wife a 650 VR1 137 for this year, If you have any other questions about the Polaris sleds let me know and if we could meet up for a ride I would be more than happy to let you try ours for a few minutes. Dealer choice is also a major consideration as Blake mentioned, the Dealer that will look after you when there is a problem is worth quite a bit more vs the dealer you save a few bucks on when buying it. Hope this helps you,

Good to see you back here!!

Lol some of the best you mean

Same here, got the email tonight

Pm me here on on Fb I have a connection with Triton and can see if he will help you. sorry this happened to you really sucks

I bought the Klim one with no breath box and a couple of the ckx ones that seem to work well

I’m going back to running the Qualipieces Cobra heads this year on both our sleds. Hoping Karen likes them over the kimpex arrow skiis with dual carbides
