Important Ski-Doo announces DELAYS in 2023 Delivery...

[winter brew]

I hear you.

I ordered an N/A 154 with small gauge that had a ship date of Sept/Oct, that came and went, and no sled came. Dealer could not get a new ship date from Doo so I grabbed the same sled off the dealer's floor with the big gauge that someone backed out of.

Dave Norona posted about how Doo decides what sleds to produce when. Snowchecks get no priority or extra love from Doo.

As for what is causing the continued delays, Doo's website is no help. They have a page called "Snowmobile Delivery Update," that they said they would update every two weeks. Doo has barely updated it once a month and the last update was October 14, more than a month ago. The latest update to dealers was more bad news for people who ordered Freerides too.

Could be worse. We could be in Buffalo, NY getting 55 inches of snow....

Doo needs to get rid of the snocheck program if they cannot honor their end of the deal. First built and first delivered…guaranteed sale and no flooring, saving rhe dealers money and giving the customer some choices not in the regular season.
Knowing sleds that are essentially the same have been shipped for non-snocheck buyers is frustrating. Just eliminate the program and go back to pissing off dealers with forced order numbers instead of customers.
Personally I think factory sponsored and ambassadors should be the LAST to get sleds. They did their job promoting these sleds the prior spring and summer. #1 priority needs to be the paying customer when it comes to production sleds.

I’ll take 55 inches of fresh anywhere I have a snowmobile.

Agreed, I was being sarcastic. Hell, I'd take 15 inches of snow right now!

I agree. Don't think I will snocheck again unless Doo changes their program back to what it used to be. I still don't have my sled and my dealer has a bunch in crates stacked-up behind their shop. Non snochecks.

Damn, that sucks. I'm waiting on a Shredder DS too. My dealer claims to know nothing.

Really. Just sold most of my sleds and shredder re was supposed to be here end of November or beginning of December.

Another dealer has 13 XRS's that Doo just said are not shipping until January 31!

Something has changed for the worse over the past few weeks for Doo's delivery estimates.

Just got the call that the 154 NA 850 with standard gauge will not be shipped until at least Feb 1 2023.
Looks like I will have to cancel if I want a snowmobile for this year.
The important thing is the ambassadors got their sleds and F the little guy.
Very disappointed in BRP who I have been loyal to for many decades.
No explanation from BRP.
Ordered day 1 of snocheck.
Whats the point of snochecking?

but you think doo would waive the bs commodity charge for late deliveries ya nope ..$500 back for a late delivery is a joke if I want to go on a trip it's $500 a day to rent

Wa state. Just want a 154 expert NA small gauge. Orders that specific sled to avoid delays. Didn’t work out as planned.
If anyone knows of that sled in the NW US I am looking.

This has become a mess . I feel sorry you for guy’s waiting. I was lucky enough to get my turbo expert last week all complete .
