I heard that Polaris was going under in the sled business. Not sure if this is rumor or fact. Wouldnt surprise me with the short winters we have anymore. Anyone know more about this??
Check that stats. They are still #2, just under Bombardier by very little sales difference. Polaris is going under just as much as Bombardier is, if you want to look at it that way.
I was reading from google and they are down 22 percent profits from last year. Cat is the same way. Maybe they all will go under. Dont want to see it happen. We had poor snowfalls for a decade now, something sometime has to give. I dont wanna see it happen but it sounds like it might be right around the corner.
As long as they keep building new types of machines and the great big less practical ones, I doubt that they are too bad off. The economy will have to dive before they really feel a hit and stop building those big ones. There will always be a market for the fans and similar sized liquids. We'll see any company scale back to them with perhaps a 600 cc top end before they drop the ball altogether.
... why the heck would they give up the larger engines if they're no more expensive to produce??? The Fuel economy is starting to run par across the board as the technology improves regardless of cc size.
Muh link crapped out... hang on I'll try that again.
Crap, that was two years ago. Sorry 'bout that. Don't know this years stats. Anyway, some weather watchers have predicted that in ten years time there won't be enough snow in the winters for snowmobiling... hope they're wrong, lol.
remember that changing the melting point of snow topic.....? lets start a fund raiser to help research so we can make it! then we can all laugh at the weather men and tell them we got there snow for them w00t
Global warming IS real.. that is no longer up for debate.. How much of it is caused by man IS still up for debate... I remember tons of snow growing up in Vermont in the 60's and 70's... Sadly there is a trend, and the trend is for less and less snow...
no more snowmobiling!!!! dear God!!!! that cant happen ill just die...what will we do??? ahhhhh!!!!!...really if there was no more sleddin id hate mother nature forever!!!...lol.......no but i see what yall are sayin and if you just wait the earth goes through cycles i think if we give it a little time it will pull back around....maybe in my lifetime...dont know...but well see im prayin!!!
