Agree with all, except the pandemic is partially to blame for the situation the industry is currently in (not just bad snow years). Governmental decisions surrounding the pandemic caused the massive inflation, which means everyone has less spending money for toys. The pandemic also boosted sales...

I hear ya, I think the sled will be a hit amongst snowmobilers, I’ve heard nothing but positive things, just disagree with it being innovative for the industry as almost everything “new” about the catalyst has already been around for some time.

Wow I struck a nerve lol. “Some of the most innovation in the snowmobile industry in years” Belt drive Poo released 2013 GPS gauge Poo released 2017 850+cc engine Doo released 2017

I think you’re right, I’ve been reading and seeing it in so many other places I don’t think it was ever discussed on here! Really concerning and could very well be the beginning to the end. Less competition is not a good thing. Unfortunately the writing has been on the wall for awhile.

Looking good! Is that a crew cab 6.75’ bed? I have a 24x36 attached garage and have been considering going 3/4 ton but was concerned how well it’d fit

Man I’m not sure if ambitious or unlucky is the right word LOL. Taken 3 skids out already, couple oil changes, heated visor kits on 3 different sleds which required A LOT of plastics to come off and they were on 3 different chassis skidoo’s so I couldn’t repeat the process on any of them. Got 1...

Been tearing sleds apart for nearly a month now. Never ends! Not 1 thing gets overlooked on my sleds and all of my families sleds that get dropped off.

Trails around home were open just 2 years ago (2022) 3rd week of December. 3 years ago (2021) I was riding western UP 2nd week of December. 4 years ago (2020) there was so-so snow mid December around home, and rode western UP over Xmas/new years. Man 1 bad winter sure makes some of ya guys...

2024 Skidoo MXZ Blizzard 850 137” Probably more excited to see my little dude turn 12 in December and ride his new to him 2015 Skidoo MXZ Sport 600 Ace on the trails by himself!

Tonight

Also figured I’d mention, I used to own a 7x23 stealth. After 3 hard years of use by the previous owner, I did a complete overhaul, took the axles off and did new bearings brakes leafs hardware etc por 15’ed the axles etc. after just 3 years the frame where the axle bolts was was HEAVILY...

Last night

Like mentioned, preseason and postseason I take a latex glove and smear marine grease all over the axles and all around the mount area where the axle meets the frame, then spray fluid film in the nooks and crannies and all over the leafs/hardware/brakes. I take my trailer to a manual car wash...

At least the swamps won’t need much freezing!! So ready for cooler temperatures

On the quoted. Like I mentioned in the other thread, we’ve been hearing the same thing for the past 20-30 years. And, Like I said, 20-50 yr old guys don’t have the time, or inclusion in most clubs. Clubs tend to be ran by 55-75 yr old guys because kids are grown and out of the house, they’re...

Very interesting… been running snow studs brand for a few years and have had great luck!

Yep

Yep spent way too much $ there yesterday. Should not be allowed to go there unsupervised! Excited to get my cellphone holder/glovebox extension mounted up on the new blizzard.

And younger generations lack of time is just one thing that sucks in this equation… There are many clubs ran by older gentleman that push away younger generations ideas. I live in a town that had tripled in size in the last 20 years. I grew up here, and fell in love with the sport riding...

While I agree, the lack of youth is concerning, have to remember the same has been preached for the last 30 years, but it’s just part of the cycle of life and snowmobiling in general… snowmobile clubs are not attractive to 20-30 yr old riders. Most of them work a lot, and want to bar hop and...
