    • This garbage of insane micro managing and over analyzing data has infected everything.  Its the same story everywhere. Look at sports, advanced "analytics" etc. - it's over the top, and all it really is some person trying to make themselves relevant and act like the smart one in the room.    If we're talking groomers, I will listen carefully to the guy with grey in his beard, grease on his hands, orange stained fingers, and a dirty coat about them before some guy in khakis and a button up sitting on his laptop.  
    • A question for those in the know :   Are the groomers now all the same that get purchased?   Same make and model?  Wedge a groomer into a trail to make it fit?   what was mentioned above about a BR and how it fit on the trails and operators liked it makes sense.  Simple reliable with maybe less electronics?   I see it everyday that manufacturers want to increase the sale of digital platforms on machinery.  Monitor performance   Monitor use Remote monitoring of operators and how they work machine.   I see the OFSC probably listening to sales pitches and suppliers and being sold on remote monitoring / new tech and how it can be used for better productivity and performance to maximize the fleet productivity to reduce the required numbers.  How else do they come up with 100kms per groomer across the board?   All trails are equal and all groomers can preform equal.   I could be wrong but that is the way construction equipment, trucks, cranes are all going.
    • LOL - welcome back....life is just busier these days - but that is good and not bad at all!   I only mentioned the weather since last year was good, I do not think we have had back to back good winters in a while - but it was an awesome summer, lakes were at record temps, especially the big ones that take longer to freeze, so that should mean good winter, but we will see.   It would be nice to see record sales too - people may be on the fence with the reports shared, which could mean wait for updates on how things go with the system and then buy, at full pop....or people thinking need to support system and buy to do their part, but too many Ontario folks that are cheap when it comes to certain things, and won't.    See what happens and make the best of what is presented.
    • This one is a double edged sword though. If we have a great snowy winter - the costs go UP! cause you need to maintain those trails more and longer.   In a perfect world, we'd sell a record number of permits and have the worst winter on record! That will help with the reset lol.   Also, welcome back, I was afraid you got muzzled or something - been too quiet.   And lastly, yes, great to see Nutter sharing his thoughts again - he's been on all sides of it and involved in every capacity forever.
