Moose Valley lived up to its name today as moose caused us grief to and from the sporting lodge! Good thing we had "Gary the moose whisper" with us!!! Today is the last day of riding for me this trip. So good to be back here and riding with Mike, Jeff and Gary. Until next time!

Hi Jack and Sandi, thrilled to see you're back and your 2022 post! I'll probably get hammered for saying this but I know something that would help your shoulder and snowmobiling: jump ship to Polaris. 🙂 Be well, we'll be following your season and hopefully it all returns to normal in 2023!

Stayed at Lopstick once. We were in the lower lodge by rte 3 and the office is up the hill on the other side of a town road. Rode my sled up the road to the office and back down the road to the lodge. Someone staying in a another room asked me if I got stopped and ticketed. There was no signs or warnings to stay off the road and the cops park there giving tickets out like beer nuts to people staying there. I got just got lucky.
An upside of Pittsburg's popularity is there are other areas just south that have much less traffic and are as good as their neighbors north of them.

At show last night Doo rep said only difference between 2019 and 2020 was colors and the digital gauge which GSX800 said. The promotion on 2019's now is 2 yr warranty and $700 rebate, which is not good enough in my opinion. Anybody get quotes on out the door prices on these 2019's?
Hey Snobeeler, FWIW, the 2019 promos only apply to "in season" sleds so if you found an XRS or X it wouldn't apply. I think more favorable to the $700 cast back on the 900s is the 0% for 60 months they added in March to the 900T promo. That 0% equates to $1700 savings in interest if conventional financing is needed. When 0% is offered, I'll always use someone else's money while mine works for me.
As for prices, I bought my GF a 2019 Blizzard 600R for $9,750 last month. I was comparing that to a 600R red Enduro at $10,700. Both those prices were with the $1500 cast back that's on the 600 vs. the 0%. There is a 900T red X with 1.6 and quick adjust listed at $13,888 near me.
Doo really stuck it to New England dealers this year and made them take a lot of inventory. My dealer has nearly 50 sleds in stock and I see lots of other dealers with loads of stock. I'm wondering if Doo will help them by making the 2019 promo better in the later half of this month.

The 137" does allow for two Linq set ups vs one setup on the 129".
Hi Jack, the Up North Technologies Dual Position Ski-Doo 129 Adapter solves the problem for just one LinQ position on the 129". I have this on my Indy XC and it rocks!
Oops, I should have gone to the next page and I would have seen someone had posted it!

Have a safe trip home Snowcrazed. The pics are great. Thanks.

Hi Jack and Sandi,
Sorry I missed you this year! I split the ride home and stayed in VT last night and banged another 150 miles out today in the NEK. The NEK is exactly like QC only completely different! LOL.
Look forward to reading about your rides this season.

How is the Indy XC 600 working? I bought the Indy XC 850 , happy with mine so far (1200) miles.
Pipeman, this is Polaris 600 #4. The other three were Switchbacks ('14, '16, '18). I'm not sure what changes Polaris made, but the 19 must be better cluched or something else because it's buttery smooth vs. "jerky" from 0-speed like my 16 and 18 were. This sled is also the fasted top end of all the 600s I've had.
The 600s have been good to me mechanically but I have not kept them as many miles as my past Ski-Doos. That only happened because I went from the Rush platform in 14 to the Axys platform in 16 and had the golden ticket for the '18 and '19 sleds.
Powder and/or rail beds are not kind to MPGs with the 600s. While Mike is enjoying 19 MPGs, I'm getting 11 to 12 MPGs. For me, it's not about the extra cost to run, it's about having to make an extra stop for gas everyday.
Honestly, if I was riding up here more than once a season or doing the Gaspe loop, I'd be better off with the 800/850 for the extra MPGs and top end on the rail beds. For my regular riding area of VT and NH, it's perfect.

Nice of the sun to visit today. We wrecked a lot of freshly groomed trails today and I'm not going to lie, it was fun!

The snow guns and wind machine finally shutoff this morning. We saw the groomer go by packing while at breakfast, so we headed out for a short ride and visits to the Polaris and Ski-Doo big kids toy stores. One of those RMKs or Summits would have been great for today.
The wind machine is back up and running this evening.

Depressing. Know of a group of people coming back from the Gaspe loop this past weekend who had to taxi to RDL to get their trucks because they ran out of snow. I canceled my reservation for later this week this morning.
