Spent more time off the ofsc trails this year as my girls are getting older and riding their own sleds.
7 and 10 years old on Polaris Evo's. We've been able to get some decent day rides on private trails & crown land.

I'm outside of North Bay and we are nowhere near ready to start opening anything.
Only 8" or so of snow and hardly any ice, open swamps, etc. Hoping for some cold temps to give us a kick start.

I have seen a lot of trucks loaded with ski doos, not any of the others. Glad your sled arrived.
Polaris ships their sleds in closed trailers. Not sure of the others.

I have a set of these and like them. Used them overtop of Polaris (Axys) handguards. (don't fit over Matryx guards though)

There was a groomer that burned a while back. Has to be part of the issue ?
That was a while ago, I hope not. Shining Tree was also down a groomer.
There needs to be better co-ordination of spare groomers imo. I know our Dist (11) has a spare that floats around and even that is not enough at times.

I’m considering the 650 SP 137”. I heard the 650’s are great, and the wife shouldn’t have any problems with the weight of the sled compared to her previous Yamaha viper.
Decent price I think $14,999+++++
I will also use this sled from time to time, and if it’s any good I may consider selling my viper and getting one myself. Anyone here have a 650 matrix? Are they good trail sleds?As an Ambassador you could argue I am biased, however here's my input.
I have a 21 Assault 850 and a 22 VR1 137 650.
The 650 was purchased primarily for my wife but I will say I am more than impressed with this package. The VR1 and SP will share the same suspension geometry with a different shock package. I would buy one again in a heartbeat. It has strong mid-range power, and when driven kindly it will get great fuel and oil mileage. Any questions feel free to ask.

Will be interesting to see what fuel economy is like. If it's on par with a 900 ace these sleds will do 350 km to a tank as they still have the 11.5 gallon fuel tank. Haven't wore our 900 aces out yet, but this will create quite the dilemma when the time comes. Gonna have to find a demo day next winter to go ride one. With the best gauge, smart warmers, suspension on par with r-motion and now the 4 stroke it will come down to handling. I hate the idea of having to replace all the accessories, but Polaris may finally have a superior product.
our 650 when driven kindly is on par with 900ace (within a liter or two) at fill-up. We were told last night the S4 is better than 650. I haven't had the opportunity to ride it, but I've heard good things. Hoping it works well next season.

my 650 will hit the c-note, but it certainly flattens out above 90.
mid-range its awesome.

We've had this happen to operators in the past. It's never good.
We groom the trails in and out of North Bay which is a thankless job because it could be done every day and still be trash by 5pm.
It would be my last day in a groomer if I was bitched at like this.

I've got one. My daughters started out on 120's, I had a Bravo for a year or so and then an Indy Lite for a year.
The Evo is heads and tails above the Indy Lite for the young ones IMO.
My oldest turns 9 next week and is small for her age. The Evo is smooth and predictable. IMO the key is the clutching.
Engine is similar to older fan cooled carbureted engines, they can be hard on fuel and oil compared to newer stuff.
Let me know if you have any questions

Noticed the Adventure series only comes with the older Cleanfire 800 motor. Maybe next year they will drop the 800 and move to the 850?
Indy adventure models comes in 650 or 850...not sure which model you're referring to.
Titan still comes with the 800 engine.

I think they did a great job with the 2022's, they are moving in the right direction for sure. Decisons Decisons.. But I am really liking the XCR 136 for sure.
Was great to see the Team Ontario Ambassador's getting a shout out.
Lot's of excitement for the mountain segment! I know you're not the only one pumped up over the Matryx XCR either Nunz. Should be a hit!

Not a farce.
We are keeping up with semi-regular grooming.....and yes some people are trespassing and running closed trails anyways, which makes the whole thing even more frustrating.

, I see nothing wrong keeping an outdoor cross country ski trail open during the pandemic? Especially if it benefits an overpaid entitled nitwit. Seeing as the season is coming to a close I am wandering where area sledders who have been ripped off apply for permit reimbursement. Seems the OFSC has been next to useless in solving this problem.
I purchased 2 permits and also volunteered hundreds of hours since last summer/fall towards a season that never happened for my club....Guess which one I feel more 'ripped off' about? $200 permit is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things imo.

There are posts on FB by NB area sledders applauding this turd, and enjoying "their" trails.
Comments such as STFA Toronto A-holes, etc. etc.
I'm guessing there's more traffic on those trails than we might think.
I think that crowd is probably minimal. There are definitely few trespassers who are running the trails anyways, most likely at night.
Speaking as a local volunteer and snowmobiler....I am definitely not applauding the Doc at the moment. With young kids my riding is usually from my doorstep. The Doc has taken that all away.

Seeing the conditions in districts 10 & 11 are A1 and I live here and can’t ride it is absolute BS!!!!
Try grooming the mint trails that you aren't allowed to ride....I had 2 sleds pass me on D trail near North Bay on Saturday night. I felt like laid on the horn but couldn't get my cell phone out fast enough.....frustrating is an understatement. I have no idea what Dr. Cheerios will do this week. Time will tell I guess.

I have been behind that groomer. Also pulled it out after the operator got it stuck trying to turn it around in then little pull off area. I honestly don't believe that setup does a lick of good. It just doesn't have the weight to cut down moguls and make them flat. It more or less just rolls up and down over them.
Not sure when you had this experience. The new drag is a mogul master and purchased new last year. Works much better than the previous old drag.

Parking North Bay
in Main Clubhouse

Armstrong Park (Trout Lake) or Sand Dam probably your best options.
There is also a lot at the end of Cranberry Rd. near Lake Nipissing on SSR703 (not sure on overnight for this one).
Also a municipal boat launch parking lot on Lake Nosbonsing if going that way as well (also not sure on overnight parking).
