which company are you with? im always interested in supporting local

My booth was E8 and is called Altitude Power Sports. We sell clutch kits, can's, pipes, spindles pipes etc. I thought for being a new company that the majority of people liked the product but weren't really shopping but looking. Which is fine, but with the high costs of the booth you need to sell a few things to compensate.

i was also disappointed in the show. I came looking for snowbike ideas and products and found very little. Lined up a wrap, lights and picked up a pair of the new snowbike boots from klim. I was hoping C3 would have been there, but i guess ill just have to go to their shop. I was also hoping Raze motorsports would have came back, but im guessing they didnt see enough RTI.

I doubt i will go next year.

Geez, not sure what day you went....we went on Friday. Was there just before 5 and pretty much every booth we stopped at or went through we were asked numerous times if we needed assistance finding something. The only booths where we noticed there seemed to be zero interest in getting involved with the customer was the main sled booths. And yes, we waked through them all....the staff maintaining them seemed to be content talking among themselves. Not sure if they were dealers, factory reps or sponsored riders....just noticed the lack of enthusiasm in those venues. But the private companies were very attentive and wanting to engage the customers...now that was Friday, early....maybe as the weekend went on that changed.....

Hangover Sunday — it was pretty hard to find a smile anywhere...lol

Where is this c3 shop??? I know where the guy lives, but last time I looked was a bogus number in old Town in sicamous

I know that the c3 stuff done 7-8 years ago was done at the shop in malikwa, but now most is farmed out as they are doing big foot camper shells

i emailed them yesterday for some parts and they are out of salmon arm. I guess there is a shop in st albert but not like a storefront type thing from my understanding.

I think this is something that as a group we should pursue. Find a new Venue location and start our own show. This year was the first for my small company and was pretty expensive. The booth was $900, plus carpet, internet, power, parking and food. The weekend was $1500 for the smallest possible booth. 10x10. I know the other bigger spots are over $15000. Its taken the fun out what the shows used to be.... cool fun builds and showcasing new products. We sold a few things, but almost everyone that was willing to buy something wanted a 20-30% discount. The only one that wins in this is Northlands and the city of Edmonton.

Welcome to the sled show Benny!!!!

C3 is alive and well, with Kevin still running the show. Yeti was bought by Camso / Camso was bought by Michelin. Old news. But C3 is building snowbike accessories, my latest build has their intake, fender bag, seat, and billet thermostat. Very nice product
