Just ordered more ammo

It’s only getting worse around here. My work is being pressured to lockdown, fortunately I can still work due to my position.

Another reason to load up and head to Quebec for a last rip.

Everyone still working? All 6 ski areas here have closed, most for the season, and the remainder likely will close for the season. I don’t have exact number, but blue Mountain employs around 3000. Then, there’s the spinoff businesses in the area that rely on ski traffic. Lots of stores here are closing their doors. March break is a huge money maker, that revenue is gone Trudeau to speak at 1pm today, is a lockdown imminent?

International ports are closing. My friend says they barely got into Argentina on their boat from an Antarctic trip just now.

Blue mountain. At least half the commerce here depends on the ski resorts.

Our local economy just got nut sacked. https://www.alterramtnco.com/news/2020/03/14/alterra-mountain-company-closure-announcement.html

I have two careers. My summer job is in music festival production. One of my June events was cancelled a couple days ago. That was a 3500$ contract. So far the other events I sub to are a go, but if this shit continues, those will be cancelled, and no snow check for me.

Personal - I’m going to have to cancel my trip down south, not for fear of catching the virus, but fear of being trapped in a quarantine by my, or some other governments new policy. I’m also worried about my parents who are at a high risk. Work - We are already seeing less revenue, and now the parents of my younger p/t staff are keeping their kids at home in an attempt to mitigate their exposure.

Ya, they can be a bitch when they tip over in deep snow, but still easier to get unstuck than any sled. Mototrax made a Ltd amount of kits for the cr150r, arguably the best kids kit - although the adult versions are junk.

I’d agree. Bikes are way easier to ride in deep snow

I stay away from anything 1st year. Better to wait and let the market do the r and d.

The fat lady is singing. Got out yesterday for last local rip of the year. Still 3’ in the higher elevations, but everywhere down low is mud.

Vids from last weekend, I don’t think I’m gonna bother riding again this year, unless we get another good dump. First one is my bud on a sled, second is me warming up the bike in the back forty. Good times

Been using amsoil syn 0w40 for five years now. Was rec on snowest, never tried anything else. Easy starting, never had a problem with clutch etc. Online, lsome guys swear by rotella t6, but I personally know a guy that ran t6 and it destroyed his clutch. I’ve got a 250sx that I hardly ride, I’m thinking of grabbing a used kit and building a backup/buddy bike. Half the fun for me is putting it together, doing all the mods, and getting them to run well.
