Seasons First Rides

Good Afternoon Riders~

Well yesterday we got about a foot of new snow here in New Hampshire!  Enough so that most clubs have opened up there trails today.  If you go out riding in the area you can expect early season riding conditions on a mix of packed, groomed and ungroomed trails.  Some clubs are planning to groom tonight where they can.  Please use caution anywhere the trails are on the railroad tracks like NH Corridor 19.  These areas really need more snow for good riding.

Last night when I got home from work I got our sleds out and put on the first miles of the season.  More of shakedown run than anything but it was great to get out and play in the fresh powder.  Especially since we had very little riding last year.  Hopefully this trend of regular snow continues and we can have epic riding conditions once again this year.

If you follow our facebook page you will see regular updates on local trail conditions throughout the winter.  Many of the local snowmobile clubs like Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club and the Scrub Oak Scramblers also have facebook pages and update the conditions their trail systems as well.  Of course we will share our own independent opinions on trail conditions as well.

As we set out on this new year of snowmobiling here in New Hampshire please remember to ride within your limits and always ride safe.  Every death or injury that occurs is not only a catastrophic loss to someones family but it's also a black eye on the sport we love.  Riding smart and riding safe is always the best policy.

If your new to the sport there are some simple things you can do to make your adventure a safe, happy and memorable one.  First know your machine and your own personal limits.  Make sure you know the rules of the trail including the various hand signals, trail markers and signage.  Anyone rides NEEDS a good helmet.  Not only will it keep you warm but it's a simple insurance policy that could save your life.  Get the right gear, the right knowledge, use a little common sense and you'll be golden.  And NEVER get on your sled if you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs!!  It's a formula for disaster.

Sleds today are so advanced from what most of learned on as kids.  You know I can remember when a 440 was bad ass!!  The hot new sled on the block back in the day when Yamaha introduced the Phazer.  Don't get me wrong that was a pretty quick sled even when you put it in the perspective of today's sleds.  But now a days people talk about a 600 as being a little sled.  If you don't already know it let me tell you it doesn't take 800cc's to get you killed.  Today's sleds are powerhouses compared to the sleds of 20 years ago and they need to be respected.

I'm running a little short on time right now because of a few interruptions but maybe tomorrow I'll come back and tell you about some exciting new changes and NEW product lines that we're going to be debuting soon.

Until then,

Merry Christmas

Hello Riders,

Well it's finally here..  Christmas Eve is upon us at last.  All the hard work, preparations  shopping, wrapping and hair pulling all culminates in the grand finale tomorrow.  I don't know about anyone else but my kids are stoked to finally find out what treasures are under the tree for them.  Of course I'm just a little stoked myself...  LOL

We've had a busy couple weeks here at Timberland Power Sports and we have a lot of big announcements coming up.  Not only have we completely moved into our new digs here in Freedom, completely redesigned our store and added some great new stuff...  But we're adding new product lines and services to bring you even more than we ever have before.

For those of you who are locals here in the valley, Shawn and myself were interviewed yesterday morning on the popular show White Mountains Today.  A production of local Channel White Mountain Outdoors channel 16.  I want to thank Chis Proulx and the crew up there at the studio for a great morning.  I think they're going to posting the video from it on YouTube later this week to and if they do I'll be sure and share it on our Facebook page as well as our web site at www.timberlandps.com as soon as they do.

If you follow our new YouTube series Timberland Power Sports TV you'll be excited to know that we will have a brand new episode out later this week.  I hate to say that OLN hasn't called us for a TV deal yet but we have a lot of fun doing it.

Just as note we are closing today (Christmas Eve) at 2 PM and we will be closed for the holiday tomorrow as well.

After we get back from the short Christmas break I will bring you all up to speed on some of the new and very exciting additions we have coming to Timberland Power Sports!!

Have a very Merry Christmas

We Have Moved!!

.
Good Morning Readers & Riders,

Well it's been a long road but we have moved to our NEW location at 193 Porter Road (Route 25), Freedom, NH!  Our new store is much better than our old location.  And we want you to come check us out the next time your in the area.

I want to take a minute to thank all of those that made this move a success for us including Outside Sales Representative Shawn Foss, Co-Owner Heather Wrigley, my boys for all their help, Mary Nason, Richard Seamans, Tyler Belanger, Dig & Doze LLC, and all of our distributors and service providers for helping make this a smooth transition.

Our new location offers us many new and exciting opportunities that we will be working on over the next few weeks and months.  We're a whole lot easier to find thanks to better visibility and signage now too.  We're continuing to grow our inventory and product lines to make sure we always have just what you need when you need it.

It certainly hasn't been an easy task for any of us and we had our share of hiccups through the moving process but we're back to business as usual and looking forward to seeing all of you when you visit our exciting new location.  I think you'll all be very pleased and we look forward to serving all of you for many years to come.

Thank you to all of you for your continued support and a very Happy Holidays to you and your families.  Now, everybody think SNOW!!

Ride Safe~
