Sales down or okay
« on: Jan 10, 2012, 10:30 AM »
Stopped at snowmobile dealer and he had 14 Skidoos and 6 Arctic -Cats all in crates, with maybe a inch of snow all winter was figuring they would get stuck not selling them, lots of stock on hand when the weather is not co-operating, here in southern lower Mich and Ontario it is nice and sunny and in the 40 degree range, gonna be a while yet

Between the sled dealers and the plow guys, everyone east of the Rockies is taking a beating this year, I haven't seen it this bad since the mid 90s !!!

Local Dealer her in maine had to buy 90 sleds to maintain dealership status back in August still sitting on 75 of them. Everyone who has income tied to the snow and cold weather is taking a beating. I even heard that the oil companies are going up on thier prices due to overstock of product to make thier gazillion $$ profit this year

I own an outdoor power equipment business and I have a ton of snowblowers left for sale and it does not look like we are going to get any snow that will actually matter any time soon.

I seem to remember some one Hollarin about their long range forecast calling for above average snowfall and them being worried about spending the winter shoveling instead of fishing ! ;)2  Looks like we are all in the same boat this season !
