The GTA has the largest population base and for the second year no snow worth talking about. Dealers are pushed to buy stock in order to keep the brand with little or no chance of selling those units. Start of season tune up, trail pass, insurance and for lots, pay out the storage fee's. Is it getting to much for a very limited number of rides per season? OEM units are not cheap and in this economy must be hurting bad. Are ATVs the answer for Ontario??

Ooops I think I blew it. Woke to -8C this morning with lots of snow still around. This was a late Feb start to our season and it seems like it wants to hang on for a while. I still think the snowmobile industry is in trouble. When I drove to the Indy show mid Feb it was green all through Michigan from Sarnia all the way down.
