vooodooo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Does this mean grooming and trail prep can continue, for the end of lockdown in mid Feb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand how the money gets spent, and what would happen if it's not there. What does this mean for the $50 back, pre buy guarantee for the trails? The only way anyone gets their $50 credit is that the entire province closes before mid Feb and doesnt re-open. I cant believe the amount of idiots on 705 Sleds saying that they want their money back for their permits. The $190 is the least of my concerns right now. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Lets face it guys. We knew this was all coming in the fall. You guys chirped me for being not excited about this season. I will admit i had hope. But personally, this season was long done before it even got started. This will go down in history as potentially the worst season ever for organized sledding in Ontario. I just hope theres the will to keep it going. As for myself, i am debating about packing it in. We all know the covid craze is going no where anytime soon, and by the way the vaccines are rolling out, and the hold ups with that etc, i see next season no better, if there even is one.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it, but I am falling off the sledding band wagon fast. Its just too stressful to use the G-D things. Between being glued to TWN and now this crap, I am just about done. Do I think I will quit after this season? Probably not, but I can 100% guarantee that I will not be ordering a MY22 sled and I normally get a new machine every year. I have 4 year warranty on this one and I can see myself getting 2-3 seasons out of it and then selling everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the toy market would collapse this year, yet Truedope rained money down from the palace balcony and the pleebs bought all the toys. My industry has seen a massive boom. Can't buy a new hot tub until at least the end of 2021. I've had my parts supply chain go for a massive dump in the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Its not like anyone can book rooms anyways, restaurants are closed etc. So basically its just take out, and getting gas. So tell me how parking and riding for the day needs to be shut down. What a complete joke. .. Maybe time to fly to a nice warm destination, at least you can still do that. Or better yet, good thing hockey playing. Edited January 18, 2021 by Turbo Doo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasing snow year after year, agree on the weather network as well. My son just started this year on the trail, and I was skeptical on a decent year already due to the circumstances were all in. Then got a curve ball thrown at me and my riding is really limited this season. Might be out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customers not so happy... The main parts (pumps, packs, jets etc) from the biggest manufacturers go to the hot tub assemblers (that's pretty much what they are). I've had repair parts, with a direct link to the parts manufacturers, on back order for most of the year. My partner/wife is really good. She has so far kept us with critical parts. Where we used to stock one or two, 'cause they were next day parts before covid, we now stock 6, grab them when we find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then got a curve ball thrown at me and my riding is really limited this season. Might be out too. I lived in Milton (no snow)for 10 years and still snowmobiled. Except 1998, where I sledded down main street Jan1, to drop my blockbuster VHS's back off... Moved to the Orangeville area and it was at best hit and miss...still snowmobiled. Moved to the Lake Huron snow belt and enjoyed a few years of holy crud I hope it stops snowing, and a few of please baby Jesus start the cold and snow. I own many machines I still maintain, despite the fact I use them a few hours a year. Keep your sleds, it's still cheaper than a boat. it'll pay off. Buy some land, ride on your own property. Not the same but you may get the fix. My last boat, one I really liked got 20 hrs in 4 years. She got sold. I miss that boat.....might make the same mistake again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm wondering what the key is on the $50 credit is. If each health unit shuts us down does that count or only if the province shuts it down. Going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their overhyped snowfall totals. Then you have the Chipmunk on Global and the wuss on CP24. They won't be happy until our winters resemble Vancouver's. "It's cold. It's snowing'.

Trade you for mine from last year. Had hip surgery sooner than planned in Dec 2019 so the sled didn’t see the sticker. I’m good though my machine has its 2021 sticker and I’ve been out. Not looking good going forward though. Except the weather is turning to winter. Stay positive people! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just relax....drink a jack and coke...the trails may or may not open.. No one ever died from not going snowmobiling. If the amount of money you spend on snowmobiling stress you out, you need to make different choices. Edited January 18, 2021 by vooodooo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had gone on any longer I think I would've gotten a headache... I guess since I've kind of been a solitary person for a lot of my life I don't need to always be around people. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy people when I'm out & about. I've met a few of you over the years @ the shows & on the trails. I'll always have time to chat, even if it's not about sledding. I met several sleds on Fri' & yesterday when I was out riding. I don't think day riders are the problem, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
