Corporate greed has killed the sport !! We need more 60-70-80 horsepower sleds. Not 135+ horsepower models. There is room for the ultra high power sleds but lower power liquid sleds is what new people coming into the sport need. Smaller fan cooled entry sleds are needed but the mid power liquids are a must for the sport to survive !
I was there on Sunday, the first time we've ever gone on a day other than Saturday. Crowds were much lighter and that gave us a chance to meander and mingle more. Unfortunately, some vendors were already packing up and several snowmobile celebrity people that I expected to see were gone by the time we made it over to the manufacturer displays. Overall, a great weekend, though. For a RUclipsr, I actually got to spend more time talking to vendors than I expected and that made it worth admission. The one thing that I found remarkable is that I think the same teenagers hanging out at the "Hay Days" sign were there the entire weekend. I wanted a clean picture of the sign, but nope - they never budged. Amazing endurance.
No snow and way to expensive. Take your opening location for example. I attended this gathering way back in 1993 when polaris introduced the XLT for the 1st production year. I was a kid and it was $5-$8 to enter. That price is now what? $50-$75 to watch a show.
When are you gonna get back to fixing your old sleds? That’s the reason I started watching this channel. And if that section is over and never happen again, that would be a shame. Still waiting for the SRX to be rebuild.
High powered machines for young careless idiots ruined the sport for young families.families like mine used to have 3 or 4 sleds to go snowmobiling,and go to the cottage as much as possible in the winter.need about at least a hundred grand to do that now .see ya.!!!!
From the Forced USER PAY system we have now that is so expensive. To just regi your sled to go for a weekend or two. The Economy in the tubes. SNOWMOBILE Business Better wake up and start reducing the prices.. SO people can keep supporting it. Other wise. It's Dead. Like YAMAHA and Arctic Cat. All those half million dollar groomers in NB Canada will be Parked When 40 people are snowmobiling. The Federation has Screwed those people with10 to 20 year old snowmobiles. That go out at most 4 to 6 times a year. I Am a Hard Core Sledder and I"M BURNED OUT. I see other people Burned out. It's time to go back to grooming once a weekend. Not every day and Reduce out cost to the one who are still getting out there.

wow that XLT was the best color and shape of a snowmobile i grew up with.
Snowmobiles are too expensive. It was more fun when the machines were smaller and simple. It was marketed towards families.
Last Yamaha sold in a casket!
Such a drag the exchange rate is soooo bad.. makes it not worth it for a lot of Canadians including myself..😞
It’s not bad enough the sport is dying, but we have to add an advertisement for cans just to close some more trails

Might as well call it SDTV with no snow! Snowmobile Dirt TV.
I believe that 9r will not be lawful in Quebec. A lot of work switching back and forth
Don’t people move slow enough without you having slow motion!
sad to see yamaha pull the plug ... now arctic cat also.... seriously 30000$ sled not everyone can afford that
Gotta dip into retirement to afford any toys...he'll even for food

to much mountain shit
Snowmobileing as a hole is died ever since yamaha left, they were the bolts holding up this old rusty industry
Yamaha hasn’t been anything but a Arctic cat for yrs
Yamaha was only 4% of the market for the last few years
