Zambroski Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 It’s getting tougher and tougher for anything sled related to make it. I expect trail money to start being rationed even more in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I used to get snow week, mod stock competition, and a few other magazines that are no longer in print. Went to the Polaris shows for years there were more people at just the Polaris show than when multiple brands had their shows together.

Mainecat Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 High cost of new is probably why vintage sleds are becoming so popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
