Edmonton Sled Show - Purchases

[08summit]

What did everyone think of the show? And what did you buy? I bought a new 509 helmet and 509 googles and a lead-dog light.

Was awesome to get out and see all the new products and meet some great friends...now just itching to hit the hills.

Don't mean to sound negative @ all as I love the Sled show but I for one don't seem to find many great deals there like I use too...everything I priced was the same price if not more then I can normally get from my dealer...just like to get everyone else's feed back on this. Anyway another great show and hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

People always talk about the great deals at the upcoming sled show but all the years i have gone and ya, not much different than dealer prices. I'm not complaining, just saying. Maybe i don't look in the right spots.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Good show. Always like running into people that you had met from seasons past or last year.
Everyone is always polite and in a great mood awaiting for the snow and upcoming season.
I picked up some new front and rear super clamps and glides for the deck.
Not a bad price for all the purchase but have seen better!
The nice thing is that it is one stop shopping rather than wasting time driving around or hoping that your order is on its way in time and undamaged!

Got the S$M apparel and made my donation for Taylor! That was one of my biggest reasons to go!

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Looked at the 509 stuff, but it's quite a bit cheaper on their website even with the exchange. No great deals, but nice to see everything in one place.

Local cat dealer had 10x the inventory at the show that he has at the shop

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Didn't think it was that great and definately not worth the $15 to get in, and if I had to pay $12 to park as well I would not have gone. There seemed to be some deals but I wasn't sure on the regular retail pricing so not sure if they were deals or not.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

i bought some new avy gear myself. not a bad show but i agree with the pricing. there were no real show deals. all the items i personally picked up were no cheaper at the show then the local dealers

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

We found a couple deals, HJC helmet with electric shield for $99. Muff pots for $36, and Doo skegs (carbides) for $30... was looking for more accessories but no one brought many...it was still a good outing, which beat the tele for the night.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

I was hugely disappointed in the show again. I haven't gone in a few years and thought I would check it out this year. As usual it's just a bunch of vendors selling items at regular prices.

The only thing I go for now is to see the custom sleds. There's always some ridiculous ones to look at.

I checked out the 509 booth as I bought their sinister googles a couple years ago when they first came out. Awesome googles by the way. I too was looking at picking up one of the helmets but seeing it in person I didn't care for the styling. However if it performs like the googles I am sure it will be a great helmet.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Yep, not many deals but some out of date stock are bargains. Got a pair of Castle pants 1/2 price. WOW vendors don't want to dicker but like the guy said most deals are on the last day. Lots of pretty girls for us knuckle dragger sled heads to look at. Also good to see the old windsor hotel trout lake is still operating. what a place!

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Show was pretty good, bought some new boots and trailer guides. Any thoughts on the Yamaha Power steering display? Need to try it on the trail!

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

i was really dissapointed in the lack of inventory some were carrying. there was no skidoo performance parts or anything. clutch kits, heads, not much.

also had to watch the pricing.

i picked up a new tracker 2 for 320 from the avalanche store and snowbungie and a few other places wanted 330 for the origional tracker. also paid 10$ more for a set of quick clickers than another shop. my own fault i didnt see it until the end.

Re: Edmonton Sled Show

Found a few sweet deals, bought a complete Castle X outfit for the 13 y/o for under 200 bones, a nice Fox jersey for the wife at a steal of a deal, and a couple of those foam Ski-Doo snow sleds for the boys for 15 bucks each. Dad got nothing, except for his 2010/11 VARDA membership. But I made up for it at the Locker Room....yeow....this morning was rough

Good to see everyone again, and meet some new S&M peeps....
