iceman Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 We shall find out today, but the rumor is another full lockdown here for at least 4 weeks. I fear this season is in serious jepoardy. You folks stuck south of the border may not miss out at all. Right now with the lack of real snowcover its not so terrible. If this lockdown comes to fruition and we do get rideable snow in that time and they do not open trails. Those who shelled out the $$$ for trail passes will surely be not so happy. #Scamdemic NSHM, PLAYHARD, Florida Snowman and 6 others 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Iceman, Certainly is going to be a frustrating year. I suspect the new sled sales north of the border were very good just like south of the border for 2021 models. The snow conditions, remind me of the open winters we had in the early 1980’s! With such a slow start to the season regarding depth of snow and the Covid. There most likely be lots of slightly used 2021 sleds kicking around this spring and next fall. Certainly has to be concerning for the sled manufacturers and the 2022 lineup. In addition to the snowmobile manufacturers,, the impact on the State and Provencial clubs and organizations, Poirevoire’s, hotels and restaurants, , has to be a concern for all of us who have a passion for this industry. Certainly a microcosm of the challenges faced everywhere, but the overall impact of Lockdowns and lack of snow will hit close to home for us in this sector for a few years to come.

grumpysanta Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think this year is a write off. ,,hope you are not in the 5 % , ice man . Great year for sled sales but like it was stated next year might not be good and a lot of expensive sleds for sale that people paid too much for .. and did not use.

Signfan Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 How about we get back to discussions on snowmobiling. Really getting sick of this forum turning into a debate on covid. Government has made a decision. If you don't like it write your elected official. If you do like it write them as well. Nothing written here is going to change their decision.

Nothing written here is going to change their decision. I’m riding tomorrow, not Quebec but pretty dam close to it as I will be only a river away the whole time. Riding from Deep River to Mattawa and back for the day. Forth time out on the new to me sled. I have always been a true blue fan from riding a 96 Vmax, 98 SRX, 04 Viper, 06 Apex, 09 Nytro. Nytro has 37,000km and the thing still runs strong. Took it grass dragging and it did well coming 2nd in it’s class with a crap load of km on it lol. This year my group had planned to do Gaspe so I figured I would get a new sled and went with a Yamacat Sidewinder SRX. I was holding out on hopes of Yamaha coming out with a true blue sled but doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Looks like Yamaha is stuck with Arctic Cat like Canada is stuck with Trudeau ( what???... I had to put my political spin on this somewhere). Anyway, so far I love the power and it’s set up very well so it handles like it’s on rails. Save your breath on the weight argument. I’m 50 now and stopped doing backflips years ago on a sled. Plus for all you BRP loyalists, with all the gas and extra parts I see you guys carry we are probably the same weight 😜.
