Looks like Ski Doo had their "Live" 2020 Launch (unveiling) of the 2020 sleds about an hour ago--accessed through their website. Hmmmmm. Lots of different colors, and lots of things that will obviously attract mountain riders, however since my sled of choice is the GT, I was thankful to see that it's still there. Ever since the 1970 models of snowmobiles became obsolete and not available for some brands, I am happy to see that the sleds that get my attention (and purchase) are still being made. IMO, the Ski Doo GT is just plain fun-to-ride. At the end of today's 64-mile ride I didn't want to quit. More tomorrow, and the next day, etc. etc.

Not too exciting.
I ride a 19 Renegade 850 and the only changes to that is the new gauge package (both gauges were updated, low end and high-end) and the windshield is smaller and it comes with hand-guards like the 17 did. Of course new graphics.

No price increase either, stayed at $12,999 for all Black or $200 more for a yellow hood (which is better than the white).

No pre-orders here, I like getting over 3k off.

I found the Ski-Doo 850 Backcountry XRS looked interesting for a great deep snow sled which retains some tail riding attributes for those like me who do some trail riding, some off trail and take a trip to the mountains every year. It comes with a 154" x 16" wide with a 2.5" lug option as the biggest track. Also has the C-Motion (crossover) rear suspension and a 2" wider (adjustable) ski stance as compared to the Summits. It has the new larger digital gauge and updated colors as well. Comparing the Spring Order price of this sled including a $1500 to $2000 estimated discount, it would still make it several thousand more that a new holdover 2019 850 Summit. Might have to go with the 2019 Summit and save around $4000 and take it easy on the trails.

Fuji,

You got rid of the Poo already?

Yes, rode it 800 miles and then the Doo money came out Feb 1; picked up a 19 Gade 850 for a few under 10k.
OMG, I love the Gade 850; it was made for me.

The funny thing, I needed a 137 track even in Green Bay with all the snow and drifts. I couldn't keep up to the guys with the Poo 120; it was a nice sled though.

When will the Poo 850 fit you? Perhaps you give a Winder a shot?

The upgrades made to the summit for 2020 seem pretty substantial for the offtrail/mountain guys imo. Definitely nit revolutionary but will make a difference.
