Ordered my pass October 6, shipped 10 days later and 3 days to arrive. Placed on the sled and ready to ride, but my ride is a 2018 900 ace n/a with 17+k km on it, so I really don't contribute much to the manufacturing industry. Nor does my extended family. They spend money on new and nearly new dirt bikes, and use them a modest amount. They have road bikes, Sparks and Skidoos (2017 and 2018, 600 and 900 n/a) and an ATV, all of which get used, but not a lot. Sparks get used the next most, but only 5 or 6 weekends per year. I have teen aged an early 20s grandkids who are outdoor, athletic kids but they don't have the time, money or drive to own their own power toys. They have different, more affordable interests. Without a cottage, the Sparks wouldn't exist, so I agree with stoney that dirt bikes require a lot less commitment and cash to participate in. One or two of my grandkids could end up being sledders in their 40s (30's maybe, if I buy them on my way out), but there is no way that, in eastern North America, there is a viable market of young people the sled manufactures can/should market to. The future is not the new "us", regardless of what generation of us.

This is no longer available, sold off. Not sure if it can be archived or deleted by Admin?

Mine shipped Oct. 26th. Haven't seen either permit yet. Fortunately I paid for the tracking on each permit.

Mine shipped yesterday. didn’t look at number though

Have not noticed many or maybe any permits numbers mentioned based on date ordered but mine for an Oct 31 order date is 46,392.
