ecarnell Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Soooo planning way ahead. Was able to finally book a room at Westway for Dec 31-Jan 3rd. (They have always been full when we have previously tried booking) Hoping: 1. New Polaris sleds arrive on time 2. There are at least some trails opened and groomed! (they understood that we would have to cancel if sleds don’t show up. ) fingers crossed! let it snow, and Polaris keep those assembly lines going please! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning in Nov isn't way ahead by my standard, just smart. I've had years where trying to book specific hotels have already been full with hockey teams, late in the fall. I start some notional planning during the summer. Not always easy to find 3 rooms, ground floor, near each other. Westway is an awesome place. They even have hair dryers to loan out to the 4 strokes at -38c. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecarnell Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Got the treaded call/news from dealer today. vr1 650 137” shipping dec 16-31 . “Shipping” xcr 850 136” shipping Jan 1-31st. Fortunately my buddy who I sold our 850 and 900 Ace too, said we could have at least one sled available to borrow (rent) for the couple of days we want to be up north for those days (as not sure how much snow we will have around here in SW Ontario over New Years). for the second sled my dad had offered up my old 800 etec he has been riding - so we will have two sleds for sure and we are going riding !!!! if , by a miracle the vr1 shows up and available to pick up dec 30th we will ride that ! fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The need for these in Southern ON really makes you scratch your head - but the budgets for the police and fire tend to have no boundaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
