Heater ?  Don't disappoint us :  ) .  All these years we thought you were roughing it, a real rugged - tough mountain man. 

Ski Doo only gives us heated hand grips and thumb warmer. Maybe the more fortunate a heated seat, or some with a larger windscreen.  

Next Christmas you are probably going to ask for a heated steering wheel to add to the enclosed cab, wipers, defroster, headlights, motor in lieu of mules, etc. The  nerve of you :  ) Just think of what we would save on our annual permit prices if you just sacrificed two of those non-essential accessories.  Be careful of providing us with to much information. With all the movements/protests going on in the world they just might set up a demonstration / roadblock on a trail near you. 

Thanks again JG for what you do for the sport & us - over & above.  

Bonne Année 2018   :   )

I too needed the heater. The -21 is in fahrenheit and was recorded in St Johnsbury Vt at 8:36am earlier today as I travelled to camp in Pitsburg NH. Albeit at the time I took the photo I was further north than where Bill & JD reside but i'd bet they too had a chilly day.
