Intrepid on Radio!

Today I put the finishing touches on the scripts for my Intrepid Snowmobiler on Radio features, brought to you in part by Snow Goer Canada magazine. Intrepid airs this winter on stations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. I head into the studio next week to record them and they should be ready before the end of November!

Why not ask your local radio station if it will be broadcasting the Intrepid Snowmobiler on Radio this winter!

2009 Sled Show in Toronto (Phil's Version)

What a great kick-off for the upcoming season!

Our "STV/SGC Clubhouse" was courtesy of Confederation Log Homes.

In the vintage display, Craig Simpson showed off this beauty Blizzard. I wonder if he'll let me race it in vintage IFS???

A Manta twin-tracker owned by club prez Ed Long.

Oh-oh...Hal Armstrong is tearing apart a Tundra!

Now Hal has Polaris engineers and marketing staff trapped at the RUSH display. Hal started disassembling the 2010 sled and reviewed welding, assembling and machining techniques then he got out his micrometer. Hal is now banned from the state of Minnesota.

2009 Toronto Snowshow

The show was well attended this year which I found really surprising. I guess it shows that sledders are not going to let tough times keep them from enjoying the greatest sport in the world.  Here are some pics from the show. Enjoy!

Toronto Snowmobile Show

Just got back from the Toronto Snowmobile Show and it proved that the economy hasn't hurt snowmobiling one bit. The place was packed throughout most of the three days and people were shopping like mad. Great bargains to be had!

Permit sales at the OFSC booth were brisk and people are eager to get started.

Many Snow Goer Canada readers visited our impressive “log home” set up to talk with the folks who do the magazine and many sledders bought new subscriptions.

All in all, a very encouraging kick off to the new season!

$10 for My Club!

Last weekend, I visited my local Ski-Doo dealer to drop off my completed certificate for the $1 Million Ski-Doo Club Support Program. Each certificate received contributes $10 to your local club courtesy of BRP. That's found money for your club, so even if you are not a Ski-Doo rider, be sure to get your certificate in before November 15th! YOu can get one in various snowmobile magazines of online at http://www.skidoopromotion.com/en/ca-east/reason/3

Getting Ready For winter

With the Toronto snowmobile show just two weeks away, I am already anticipating the excitement of another winter of touring for Snow Goer Canada magazine. My tour plans are already underway and I take my tow vehicle in this week for its annual pre-season check up. Looking forward to riding my 2010 Ski-Doo GSX SE 1200 4 TEC, my first ever 4-stroke. I'll be at the show every day, so be sure to say hello!

Fall Swap Meet

The Fergus Elora Belwood Snowmobile Club recently held a swap meet. This was the first time the club held a swap meet and the event was well attended with vendors coming from as far away as Wasaga Beach to sell their goods.

With tough economic times more riders this year are going to be updating their existing ride or looking to repair a second sled so the whole family can enjoy the winter
