    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I saw the business article about textron. From that article, regarding the changes they are making: "This charge will reduce adjusted earnings per share for 2024 by approximately $0.12 to $0.16." Hopefully a couple extra dimes a share will make their big shareholders happy and they can get back...

    Attention Keweenaw Snowmobilers

    Not sure how to fix the knucklehead problems. Maybe the penalties need to increase?

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    Some places out west have started out pretty good.

    Attention Keweenaw Snowmobilers

    Agree with you this area needs more attention for snowmobiling. Whatever they folded the MSA into is all about dirt it seems. I think the trail closures are a dnr issue. Freda loop, chassel, etc. I'd like to see an accounting of the fund they set up to buy easements when the trail permit price...

    Thanks for report. Looks like early season for sure. Definitely seen worse!

    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    I'm almost sure it was the last millennium. For sure 2001 as I remember I was in a college program with a laptop and anxiously awaiting the forecast each morning. The Pol-cat stands out; I remember him talking about getting that set up.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    The bulk of the business has to be the dirt side for success these days. I'm not up on that but have heard textron has fallen way behind. On the sled side I think pre-textron cat made the mistake of doing incremental improvements instead of a new chassis. An 18 procross is a lot different than...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    By "bunch" I meant quite a few people but not enough to be concerned given their size - more of a production adjustment. I hate what BRP did to the marine brands they bought, or Alcom to trailers, etc. Sign of the times I guess but big corps don't care about niche brand names with loyal followers.

    Past membership challenge

    I've been here since about the beginning and have learned a lot from many. Geesh, think I was about 20 when this started. I remember reading about John's Pol-cat. I still find forums much better than bookface for several reasons - the search feature, where I can find questions already answered...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I hope its Argo - so many cat people there already. Textron is milking every penny out. Doo laid off a bunch yesterday too but obviously it's a bigger group to start with.

    Before You Ride!

    I appreciate that! We have more than enough external issues, let's fix the ones we do ourselves. I wish the sleds had bigger registration stickers and then they could put up cameras in the most abused places.

    Before You Ride!

    Thanks, but you're probably preaching to the choir on here. Need to figure out how to reach the less enlightened.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I think everyone is missing the shut down doesn't affect the sled production but the dirt side. I'm definitely not defending textron's product on the dirt side - they have fallen behind. They got out every sled they planned to make this year. And if they didn't go crazy with production it was a...

    Around superior bag trip

    You can still do that. We'll probably be doing it once or twice this season.
