I can tell you that I’ve seen more ATV’s and UTV’s at the local shops in the last 2 months than the past year. Helpful, a good indication of future.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

Trailer truck load? $500 down on a $3500 snowblower in May for me, promised late Sept or October, now December. Maybe. Play toys can wait, but snow removal is serious!!! Otherwise very helpful people.

There are sleds available now! The available sleds are spring/snow checks that people backed out on. You need to be Johnny on the spot with payment to be successful. I just scored a 2023 Skandic that was still at the factory when I put $500 on to hold…took about a month to get here, breaking in the engine now…

I've got 2 buddies that spring ordered 2 new Ski Doo Expedition Extremes so they could run the trail class of the Irondog, they were told last week that they will not get them in time for the race, luckily they didn't sell their old machines and will still be able to run. Some dealerships have inventory and some don't, I'm in the market for a new Yamaha Wolverine X2 XT-R 850 and they are non-existent here in Alaska so I have to wait until March before the Anchorage dealership gets one in so I put my name on it.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

The ATV market in the -48 is crashing as people can't make their payments and used ones are selling really cheap now. So, is it possible to trailer some ATVs up from Arizona and get my fuel paid for yet?

Maybe.....For me I live up on a mountain, I am 76 y/o and if I can't get something in the next six weeks, it will be foolish of me to buy anything. My driveway is at "BEST" described as a logging road. And with four to six feet of snow, it's hard for me to snowshoe up. Curious, are new machines available in the shops in the lower 48...???

I'm not sure, as it's not a priority now. You can check Facebook Marketplace for Maricopa County or Offer Up for same in the used market.
