I haven't gone in 2 years now. Been going since Markham also. The good old days. Only reason I went was to see what is new and paper maps. Now I can see what is new every day on line. No paper maps no real need to go. Will be going to the sledarama in Peterborough this year just for curiosity.
In all honesty I really feel due to the economy, the covid buyers and the expense of driving, accommodations and time that has really hurt the sport. If I was tight on money I definitely would throw in the towel. Priorities imho. It is a cycle. Prices for new sleds is crazy. I really feel for the dealers. It has to be a huge struggle.
But in saying all that I am excited for another winter season of sledding!!!
I looked at the Beckner trailers at the show. Nobody seemed interested in getting up off their seat to talk to me. I thought the edges looked a bit rough compared to others at the show so I never got a price.
