Here’s hoping. I personally fail to see what difference a figurehead can make. It’s supposed to be the board of governors and the clubs that decide the direction of the OFSC. Weather really is the bigger influence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is the much bigger factor to success, no doubt.....old man winter has not been winning the last couple of years.... I think whenever you have good leadership that truly understands the business, more positives are usually the outcome across the board.....personally do not know the new Pres or any other levels within the OFSC, but seeing how the ASC runs their ship and their endorsement, that sounds like a positive.

Usedtoskidoo Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Possibly but I think its almost a turning point of regression. Price of sleds is ridiculous, no snow, the ofsc seems to be a rudderless ship etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I enjoyed them a lot. I seem to recall reading that the most significant increase in rider demographics is women. I'm seeing an increase in the number of families on the trails. Still lots of just the guys but that is changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Z Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Powersports in general are dying. There has not been a single positive trend in the snowmobile world for years now. Sad to say, but the party is over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What reason would that be? There is a shortage of waterfront cottages however the prices over the past 10 years have been quite gradual.

If what you suggest is true, I can only imagine people will be selling..... As for prices, recently I agree, increase have been gradual to none existent.....it was the not so recent bump that I still shake my head at. But like all things, it is a relative.

OK perhaps I should have been a bit clearer. Its not dying, its transitioning. Most cottage owners today have or own inherited properties and sell cause they can no longer afford the bills or the cost to inherit. New owners are buying properties, many just for the land and are knocking down and rebuilding and keeping the places open all year as demographics are moving more north. The traditional owner is holding in many cases an old property that is a demolish in waiting. Most current cottage owners would be shut out of the current cottage market.

I was almost going to suggest that, that some of the prices seem to be creeping down, still out to lunch though, especially when you see some that are a tear down, as AC also suggested.
