We always started in searchmont (not far from ssm), but I hear there is gas now in searchmont. You'll need to be able to carry gas if you are starting in searchmont or ssm, with halfway haven closed. That can't reopen as the road to it was washed out and it's impossible for them to get gas in...

I would have guessed very little. The article did say Arctic Cat is shipping their sleds home. Assuming the sleds held up, which they did, it would be great publicity for a company that cared (ie anyone but textron)

Yeah that was cool they used the new chassis. They said they had them ready last season but there was no snow obviously. Took some confidence to take a new chassis with virtually no consumer testing done yet.

Happy bday. Looks like you had a great weekend. No carnage and plenty of snow!

I don't ride nearly as much as I'd like to, with kids and work, etc. The Old guys are an inspiration. Hopefully my group can do some epic trips too, but hopefully in our 50's. Used to do bad trips in Ontario. Would like to get to back to that. Quebec too. Did that once. I spent a few months...

There was one case that I didn't like being involved with because I had the feeling the borrower had hidden a lot of funds in guns, classic cars, cash deals with buddies...for the most part though the borrowers needed relief. It's an expensive process though with all the lawyers involved. I'm...

I spent about 10 years in the business finance restructuring world. Mostly with privately held companies with debt problems. Often resulted in sales or liquidations. One consistent thing I saw in the negotiations is no one wants to make a move until there is pressure or a deadline, neither the...

Our kids have separate spring breaks this year so we're not all going. Just got my wife and 2 younger ones tickets to visit family down there. It wasn't too bad on southwest, but theyr'e only flying from indiana. That would be a heck of a drive from the kee.

https://snowgoer.com/latest-news/opinion-amid-signs-of-optimism-dont-write-off-arctic-cat/33196/ Just sharing an opinion. Maybe these guys know something. The part that's interesting to me is they brought a 2026 sled to a photo shoot. Could have just been a new color on a 25 but who knows...

I think the only thing this announcement did is put an end date on things. If no buyer by then, it's over. A employee that got the severance package on another site said they were told verbally if a sale occurs in the next 60 days, the severance would be up to the buyer (i.e., the buyer could...

Agreed. Hard to think though that many companies would want to set up shop there, without any current ties to the area.

Agree unless something is going on behind the scenes, which seems unlikely.

Saint Raymond is another good place to start over there. Only did it once. There's a dealer next to a hotel that rents sleds. I'm hoping I can talk my group into going there next winter

I'm not sure about that - one possibility is there are time requirements for filing with the state prior to a mass layoff - WARN Act for example - and they had to do this unless there was certainty with a buyer or they risk having people still employed past when production is done. If so this...

That's pretty much what they said last announcement in terms of production would stop once the doo 200s and 120s were done. Obviously as more time passes the chances of a viable buyer keeps going down.
