ecarnell Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Wondering how many businesses(resultants, hotels, services, ect) up north aren’t going to make it through this season with no sleds travelling due to Covid/restrictions. tough times that’s for sure.

It wouldn’t be good if someone made the trip and we’re not aware they were not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is sad. Edgewater Park Lodge in Kearney has cancelled reservations and now closed the restaurant because of the D11 closure until the lockdown is over. Very sad. Lots of jobs lost as well as revenue for these small businesses that rely on the snowmobile season to help them through the winter months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinderFab Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They have made it very clear that they won’t lift the lockdown till cases go below and stay below 1000 and icu are under 150 so the snow will be long gone by the time they lift this lockdown. I hope I’m 100% wrong on this but I think going north this year is out of the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotels/Motels are technically not suppose to book rooms, unless for essential reasons, and or housing requirements. BUT, seems like there is a few adventurers up there, riding, as seen on various media outlets. I am absolutely dying to go, would have already been up a few times, but am trying to do our part. Not sure if i can hold on past Feb 10. I can almost bet, the lockdown or stay at home order will be extended. I have "heard" some places are booking rooms, or at least letting previous bookings continue.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have gone, even to Quebec... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMSOMAIR Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 TD, I believe we need to set up a meeting about all this essential stuff. Likely up in the NCDN would be a food spot as it’s very cold there currently and we know germs don’t do well in cold temps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Seriously, sooner or later, we are going to have to learn to deal with this, and open things up. I cannot see us all being vaccinated, and this being done before next season, i just read a good article, and its saying its going to be with us for a few years. We are going to have to move along sometime or another, or there's not much going to be left, and no amount of money, if there is any of that left, will fix any of this. I will go out on a limb here, and say next season will not be any better, but time will tell i guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zertrider Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As much as I don't want to drive my motorhome on salted roads, I am just about ready to buy some rear tires that have some lugs and take it north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
