02Sled Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 So far with people still out golfing it is not looking good. We need some winter weather to kick start a different mind set. Retailers don't see Christmas shopping kick in until the cold weather does usually. Even though I live in Toronto I watch the Barrie news. Last night they were on site at St. Onge where they showed a seadoo and a dirt bike they had just sold that they were getting ready for pickup by the customer and that snowmobile sales were down about 20% from last year. Snow will drive sales. No snow no sales. I spoke to another dealer who indicated they had a strong snowmobile show but overall they are down 25% from last year on sled sales.

Fred Quimby Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I would have to agree with the previous posts. As sad as it is. No snow, no sales. This Winter is shaping up to be lousy for sledding. Late November and still almost 10 degrees! There is no frost in the ground up north (that stays) and there is so much ground water. Geez.

2fast4u Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Maybe it has something to do with people not having enough funds this year cause lots of people are out of work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 This is it the last day for sales at the discounted price. The weather has been getting colder and there is actually snow in the forecast. I was able to watch skiing live on TV over the weekend. People just may be getting into the mood as the signs of winter are finally cropping up. I took our sleds north on Saturday and on the way stopped into St. Onge in Barrie. It was still fairly early in the morning and the parking lot was busy. When I went in the place was full of people. They were selling permits in one corner and had a small line. All of the used sleds upstairs had sold on them and from the time I went in to the time I left two of the new sleds downstairs had sold signs put on them. Hoepfully these are good signs.

Easy Rider Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I sold over 30 permits in the 4 days, 40 permits in total. That is the same number I usually sell, give or take a couple...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I picked mine up Saturday, because ya with the nice weather I was still out on the bike and had forgot all about it. Was a booming day for sales when I stopped by to get it. I think the price is turning alot of people off, should have made it $195 not $200 this year. Just sounds a little cheaper to some people.
