Relocating to the Right Coast

[TylerG]

I think it depends on location.... where we rode last weekend there would not have been enough snow for sleds, they use a drag to pack the snow when there is too much so the wheeled machines can get around. The drag belongs to the OHV club, not sure there are sled trails in that area - up north the sledding is awesome I'm told, but we would need to trailer up - most places you can ride a quad or SXS from your house

I may be confused between maritime provinces as well. It could be NFLD that's like that. All I know is recreational trail networks out that way kick the ch!t out of what we have out west here

Yeah they pretty much turned all the old train tracks in to riding. And the sled trails there go from Quebec to new Brunswick, even down into the states and so on. Could ride all winter

What a big move, life moves a little slower out that way and is definitely a beauty place to hang your hat, congrats and good luck

Best of luck to you and Arlene. It was great meeting you and your family. Send me a PM about your M3.

Still to this day, I don't think anyone has came close to your 1200 post's in one day.

congrats Ian. Keep posting and keep us in the loop. Who Knows, I may come up that way some day and we can get together and have a shot of Gibbies

Not for a cross country move at todays prices, 2 years ago no problem 53' sea can delivered for under $4k, today that same delivery would be over $12K. cheaper to sell everything off and buy used when we get there.

Fair enough. Thats a long haul, you'll see a lot of country at least.

Groomed trails are sled only here in NL ....not that I ride trails ...and abundant off trail riding. NB apparently has a great groomed trail network but not nearly as much backcountry riding ...meet folks from NB/PEI/NS who cross the Gulf to ride in the back on the west coast. Lots of options for atvs here too ....

I've always wanted to go to NL now we will get our chance, it's top of the wife's list for summer trips.
