They are showing a range of 1 1/2" to 3" of snow before Monday morning and more snow Monday. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zrtkat Posted November 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 revrnd We never made it to Quebec last winter we had all our reservations,trail permits, we left I pulled out of my driveway looked in my mirror and my tire was leaning out on trailer further investigating found my trailer axle broke. So I replaced both axles on trailer , electric brakes all set for this winter , we got 2 new sleds ordered hopefully coming in before the early permit deadline. We got rid of the heavy 4 strokes turbos they where too much for me to handle any more . It was good hearing from you have not seen any activity on Ontario conditions from you.

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Powerwashing the axle(s) in the spring and a spraybomb of rustproofing on them after they are dry prevents a lot of the issues. iceman, zrtkat, quebec bob and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
