Steve F6 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I seen they're offering 3 years warranty now on spring order 25' Doo's and lynx's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I was talking to my dealer today and he said that the prices they are offering on trades are disgustingly low. He just offered a guy $15K for his full load 24 MXZ850 XRS on trade with only 300kms on a new SXS and he is afraid that the guy is going to do the deal. I dont think we have hit the bottom for pricing yet. Used trucks and RVs are in freefall today. No reason that sleds are any better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and see what happens next year. Maybe in a few years ofsc won't exist 🤷🏽♂️. Permit sales are going to dry right up next year I think.

We need snow to fall and stay in more of Ontario. Doug Ford couldn't give us 'buck a beer'. I doubt he can give us more snow. No point in the province spending money on organized sledding that involves southern Ontario. OFSC must revise its model to reflect the reality of 'climate change'. I am not yet convinced that we humans are responsible for the change, but I see the change. Sucks to be us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F6 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I havent used my ofsc pass once this year. Im ok with that. 10 hours ago, RAMSOMAIR said: OFSC is doomed. They need to follow the FCMQ model with more provincial funding. What i've noticed quebec has going for it is the majority of trails themselves are used year around and thus are maintained year round. Lots and lots of forest access roads that are easy to groom and open early. They groom in the winter like a municipal roads department clears snow. Perhaps the OFSC, tourism Ontario, MTO and the MNR could look into what we already have in place and not used currently by the natural resource sector. We've got the goods, we're just not using it and realizing the recreation tourism $$ potential. My 2 cents. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Need a technilogical disruption in snowmaking to bring the cost and effort of it down. It still get cold here lots.

Now they just push it from bush as needed they told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year cannot be a good one for the ski resorts in the books - break even or a loss I would have to assume. I do not see how the base on the hills is not going to survive the next few days/week.

Be nice if we had a way to make snow more dense too, so it would be harder to melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Pretty sure I saw a cat dealer offering a 5 yr warranty. I believe it was rockland wheels. never heard of a 5yr warranty on a sled before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I see a lot of people still asking silly prices. Some have been for sale since last spring. The guy with the Doo 850 turbo in Guelph has had it listed since the fall. Looks like it never turned the track. But I've seen a couple dealers blowing out used. Tri-City Cycle listed a '22 Polaris 850 with 7500 kms for $9900 last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
