I saw that happen with a buddy and his new thunder cat in front of my house. Didn't write it off but caused some damage
November 10 in a driveway in Alberta loading sled for the first time into a new truck and deck. Hardest hill of the year for some!!

Aw..............come on hater! I'm betting my first ride will be in the first half of November. Hoping in all seriousness, that I won't hit a rock going through the canyon on the way up!
I'm no hater. I hope they show up early still. I might still get one!

Who knows when they will come. The dudes on DooTalk are sure in a panic and whining. Some have even cancelled their order (if everything on the internet is true?) and picked up the already available Cats.

I still have too much work to do before the snow flies so I'm not in a panic yet. Sure wished the T3 would sell.

Last week of October will be a causality of some sort.

Busting up sleds supports local economy so it's a good thing.

This could happen in Sask in the next few days. Driving From Saskatoon to Regina early this morning, there was single lane rutted up roads with probably 3-4" of slush/snow on them this am.

The full time guys are all year.
I'm volunteer and don't collect any pay. It's a small volunteer group consisting of mostly of skiers and 1 sledder/skier LOL me.
I don't volunteer in summer or off sledding season. Other's do though.

I'm saying Nov 19th on Show Off hill in Renshaw. A new rider making a sic pull for everyone watching from the cabin. Hits a rock, sideways one handed Superman dismount over the bars; sled yardsales to the bottom. Then 2 buddies go over to help pick up various parts and pieces while everyone at the cabin laughs and waits for the next show to start.
