Is it - does a 2-stroke DOO or POO cost that much?

I can look it up, just not sure right now.

Regardless, and to sound like the broken record, just insane.....but some will buy, maybe not as many in the next year of course based on the banner season upon us.....

Talk about horrible timing for Cat to release the new engine in the new chassis!

And this is part of why Yamaha bowed out. Sleds just not worth it anymore. Unfortunately snowmobiling is a dying sport 

If snowmobiling is dying maybe they should bring fatest sleds to market yet. 
let me burn rubber and skis at 175 mph 😎. It is a bird or a plane no it's strong farmer  on a 2025 Polaris storm  1283 cc 😎 Anyone  listening 😆

Sledding has gotten so far away from its grass roots that is not even funny.

 

it has now become a recreational hobby for the elite.

 

i am 48 and have never not owned a sled, they have been in our family since before I was born.

 

at those prices,  and given the shift in availability of conditions, I won’t be buying another one.

 

there is just way too many other enjoyable things to do out there for a lot less and that are not dependent on weather.

New sled prices to me just doesnt make sense anymore .I will keep mine going for now and keep a eye on used prices .I can still enjoy trails without breaking the bank .I bought a used atv this summer and rode it more this winter than my sled .

Unless I win the lottery, I don't see myself buying a new sled anymore.  Keep the eyes peeled for a good used one and save half the money of new.

Yep, have to agree.

 

Reading the other posts above, looks grim, but we are all, or mostly all looking out at green grass at the end of Jan with minimal yellow or green trails - funny how our minds can swing when conditions are different, assuming things actually get better.

Need to rationalize what makes sense for each and go with it.

I try to be optimistic about things, but that is hard this year....atleast regarding this activity.

A quick search of the globe shows a grim reality,  the only cold weather is in Nunavut  now and the foreseeable future.

I gotta believe these chemclouds are not helping with what we are look for as in a normal winter. You really have to wonder why weather forecasts are off even further then normal. There are reasons,  it's just dependent on accepting those reasons. image.thumb.jpeg.6a67ef1c4c530a0ea0bff266220297d6.jpeg

Son text me yesterday. It was 15 degrees in Calgary. 2 weeks ago it was -40.

 

Crazy.

 

Ordered some new sled parts today and the wife is leaving town for a week. That's almost as good as sledding......🤩

Well, just spent my lunch hour buying my son a new dirt bike!

 

Might as well get something we'll use.

 

Ready for spring now

IDK how the rest of the Rockies is dooing right now, but our spot in central Colorado is keeping it's head just below freezing yet.

 

46" base with 10-20" in the 4 day.

 

Hoping to head that way soon!

I’m starting to think it makes more sense to take the SXS and camper to Arizona  for a weeks I’m sure it would work out cheaper 😢
