This is a hypothetical situation, but I am wondering what you would or could do under these circumstances. I purchase a new snowmobile, and am trailering it home. I get a flat tire on the trailer on highway 14, southeast of Sherwood Park. So to make things easier, I take the snowmobile off of...

I have been snowmobiling for quite a few years, but it has been some time that I posted some comments. Here are some general comments that I like to make. For my background, I have snowmobiled in 8 of the 10 Canadian provinces (Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are the exceptions), and 12...

As it turns out, I have no interest in ATV riding (I do ride off-road motorcycles), but there is some interest in locating places where you could ride an ATV in the winter. I know of only one place in Alberta where you might be able to get away with this, and that is the Redwater Recreational...

Even though I now live in Alberta, I still have family in Ontario, and go back there each year at Christmas time. The past two years, I got lucky with snow in southern Ontario. I was able to ride trails in the Brantford area, which can be very much hit or miss. When there is snow, the trails...

Also take a look at the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs. The idea of a general, province wide trail permit works well, and with the strength of that organization, they have the ear of the provincial government. AND look at the Quebec Federations. Look at the Federation de Motoneige de...

I took the sled to southern Ontario over Christmas-and the riding was good there. I did a bit of riding near the Battlefords just before New Years, but it is not good now.

I know there are snowmobile trails, with a staging area a bit north of Whitefish. I have never ridden these trails, though. I do know there are trails out of Seely Lake, and given suitable conditions, you can ride right through town. I do not know about snow conditions, though. Be sure to get...

I happened to be driving through Beartooth Pass, and noticed a bit of snow at the top of the pass. Also saw a couple of snowmobiles there. I got my sled out, and did a bit of riding there. Not usual to snowmobile in early June, and the first time for me, but it was done. I enclosed a picture as...

I was up on the Westlock trail system last Saturday. The trails were in poor condition, with several bare spots. No grooming has been done. The snow conditions got better as one headed further north. The trails were rideable, but not great. I very much doubt that there will be a rally this...

I was up there last Friday-December 4. There was enough snow to ride on, though more could be used. No grooming. I did put on 50 km that day, and would recommend this area-fair early season conditions.

Maybe at the next election, we can vote these tree huggers out of office. Fortunately, I live in Lamont county-where common sense prevails.

I have crossed that border point a few times, even going so far as to bring sleds that I have purchased in the USA back to Canada. Of course, when I do that, I have to park, come inside, and do the paperwork-and pay a small amount (GST) in order to bring the sleds into Canada. Never a problem...

I started one thread about Argyll. Here is another. I had purchase a NEW TW200 from Argyll, and had to do a Out of Province inspection because the NVIS was voided. I also had to pay for repairs on the new motorcycle because it failed the inspection. Now, the motorcycle is back at the dealership...

I would love to do so, but it does have some value-as a source of spare parts.

Previous messages in this train included scanned copies of the voided NVIS and failed inspection report.
