I'm a little blown away to see a complete absence of both Polaris and Arctic Cat. No fans in the club? A protest? Boycott? lol.... great video! Cool to see the "Snow Cruiser" and "Northway". Never seen those brands before.
The run was supposed to be on Saturday, but due to rain, we moved it to Sunday and several guys couldn’t make it. There would have been some Cats and at least 1 Polaris…
@@mattsws Sounds like the Polaris and Arctic Cat guys need to re-examine their priorities! Ha-ha... just kidding. I do think this must be some kind of statistical record though. "First Vintage Run Featuring Seven or More Brands Without Including an Arctic Cat or Polaris Product". Give yourself a blue ribbon! Ha-ha!
Awesome vid, Man. Looks tons of fun; breakdowns are just part of the deal. Twenty years ago we could count on plenty of snow for the entire season here in south central Maine. Now it's a crapshoot; maybe we get snow, maybe we don't. This year hasn't been too bad, much better than the last two seasons. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, it's the same here. We probably only get 4-5 total weeks of good winter here in Southern Quebec. You can get -20 with 12in of powder on Tuesday and pouring rain on Thursday... You just have to enjoy when you can... Thanks for watching!!
Most guys in our club have to do some mileage to meet up. I may seem impressive to see 15 vintage sleds riding together, but we are from a 300km radius!!!!
Great video, hey someone has somw nice Case tractors in the video there, nice collection of sleds there. Thats pretty much the same country as around here, Manitoba! Love all those sleds, that Sno Jet is minty. The ol' Everest is reliable!
Yeah, the Snowjet was a real beauty. I seem to have all the bugs worked out of the Everest, because it has been pretty reliable the last several times I have used it. Thanks for watching!!
Great video thank you for sharing. I looked up where you where riding you where pretty much straight East of me here in Wisconsin, We had a foot and half of new snow a few days ago to bad you did not have it there. Not sure if you seen the video of me riding in it yet. Only bad thing with the deep snow and the 1967 it crippled, AKA my Back on no Suspension.
Looks like a great time Matt! Glad to see the 444 didn't let you down. I see the Vmax 4 overheated....were you having any high temp issues with the 444? That was a perfect day for fan cooled sleds with bogie wheels! HAHA
We sure did!!! The Vmax had duct tapped his hoods vents which didnt help… He took the tape off and ran the rest of the day. The 444 ran great! I could put my hand on the engine at anytime!

@@kennethgoin628 LOL! I didn't think about it that way, but you are totally right. What are the odds....

Awesome video Matt.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Wicked fun, nice video buddy glad you made her back home 👍
Thanks a lot man!!! Glad you are still enjoying my vids!!!
@@mattsws I sent you a message on the video before this one and on your Facebook site in messages its about those botch condensers you were seeking
4:40 I fill the pain from a few weeks back, had to be towed home when this happened.
It's the worse feeling when the sled starts, but the cord stays in your hand, then the engine dies....
My old 775 little twin would give that V-max a run for it's money 😉
You would have my vote!!!

Just watched it! I think we got the same storm. This video was shot 2 weeks ago, but this past week we got over 15in of snow!!!
72 Nordic! My dad’s sled!
Yeah it was a really nice survivor!
