Welcome back Jeff, enjoy your show over the others ,honest ,non-bias reviews . Waiting patiently for the trails to open Just got my 2023 Zr8000 3 days before Christmas, sitting quietly on my trailer ,cant wait . Er
Had some trails up here in the north open, but yesterday's rain and warm weather has made a mess. Has not been a cold start so far need to get some - 20 weather then some snow.
Lots of snowmobile magazines have suggested ways for Yamaha to change their line up with new features. I just bought a new Yamaha sled and have been asked to fill out a survey on the recent purchase. Why bother? Yamaha would never read them anyway. Change the instrument cluster on the Yamaha Sidewinder? Good luck on changing that...! Great job on the video Jeff and crew.
Sadly i got out of snowmobiling last year after over 45 years of sledding, snow conditions on Prince Edward Island have been so poor its just not worth while anymore
Been an ATV rider mostly looking to get into having my own snowmobile as well. Will be watching this show this year and looking at old episodes as well. Like that these are on TH-cam commercial free is great! Looking forward to some upcoming episodes.
For my part, if you’re not good in mechanics go four stroke, easier to maintain and better on gaz . Without turbo…….and more reliable. Here in Québec Canada we begin to see some 4 stroke with more than 50 000k on it and still run pretty good.
Be honest about what you are going to do with your sled. If your 75% of your time on trails dont buy a mountain sled. If you need to haul wood or fishing gear every day dont buy a trail sled.
So when are you or snowtraxx going to do a episode for a shoot out/ coverage on the 146 mountain sleds, would be nice now that so many guys including myself have a 146 mountain sleds
Great episode. I was at the show this year. And it wasn’t as good as it used to be. There were a lot of vendors not there. The Suzuki vendor was almost non existent. And the free style show wasn’t great. They brought the wrong ramp they said so the show was more of a bike and Harley show. It was ok but not like it was in the past. Hopefully next year will be better. If I go. I might just wait and see if it comes back to what it was.
at the milwaukee snow show this past oct., only polaris was there, kinda disappointing, no sno publicarions either just not many vendors like in the past
Unfortunately. Snowmobile has become a 5% only activity. Only the top 5% earners in North America Can afford the cost of a New Snowmobile let alone those whom keep older ones. Fuel isn't cheap.. An sled sales prove that fact of decline. Now under 104 000 new units sold Between USA an Canada in 2022. Vs a peak in 1997 of 245 000 units sold. Can We say Inflation the Decline of disposable income and Tax tax tax.
They need to make the snowmobile show back into a place where you can try on and buy products. I went to the woodys booth to buy a 168 woodys triggers and angle brackets. They had nothing but pictures. Waste of time. Same with everyone else. Only royal had stuff and it was save the tax.. not worth the time.
I moved to Huntsville Ontario last year and just bought a used sled, it’s been 20 years since I owned one, you can thank me for the crappy weather
I live in Huntsville too. Was plowing 3 feet of snow in my driveway last week. Rain and warm ever since.
Welcome back! Thanks for the great show!

All Yamaha's should only come in Yamaha blue. Another awesome episode of STV. Welcome back, Jeff!
I really liked the white,red and gold color combo offered last season
Great awesome first video of the season
Excellent episode! I really enjoy watching your channel and this one was exceptionally good! Look forward to seeing the next one. Happy riding.
Could live with an episode every day! Any chance that could be done???? Love this show!
Awesome vid, good to see you back for another year.

Snowmobile season can now officially begin - STV E01 is out!

This season is shaping up to be a short one. Might be time to move to a different province
No ice yet!
"Nice..I want one.

The blue YAMAHA IS A BLUE ARCTIC CAT and is going down a ARCTIC CAT ASSEMBLE LINE .
Hello Richard, how are you doing 😊
SRX's need to be red and white like the original....or black like the 80's models
Looking thin bud hopefully it's from working out and nothing else! Lol Awsome to see ya Back brother love the channel!

Sweet 600 cat. Do you make a men’s sled?
yamaha seriously needs to update their screen size and phone, bluetooth intergration for maps.
I for one, would love it if Yamaha would go back to building their own chassis, those Arctic Cat chassis are scrap!
What happened to halfway Haven? They closed up??

As always STV is bought and paid for...you guys would make good politicians...
