Looks like February 26th is the first show. If Yamaha is tagging along, that means we'll see the new sleds online in less than 15 days.

Also saw that the AC release is the 25th, so that should out Yamaha on either the 24th, 25th, or 26th.

Year after year, Skidoo shows up with an army of staff, 10 sleds to ride, a big tent, literature and giveaways. Yamaha shows up with 3 sleds, a couple guys from a local dealer and a few hats...either just not committed to growing their snowmobile business or the entire marketing team should be fired.

Looking at that link, it is the "2019 Skidoo Spring Tour," you need to read the "fine print." It says that "Many shows in Canada will be SNEAK PEEK events featuring models from other manufacturers." Most of the dates on that website are Ski-Doo only dates, not "Sneak Peek" dates, so we will not be seeing any Yamahas or Cats at those events. I had my hopes up that I was going to see the new Yamaha's at the end of the month here in Maine, but I guess that all I will see (if I go) are a bunch of Ski-Doos.

I'm sure there will be a few Yamaha's to ride at Snodeo in NH March 2/3. http://nhsnodeo.com/
We rode some new SW's there last year, I'm sure the 2019 Apex will be fun to ride...kidding, sad.

The Michigan dates coincides with the Sneak Peak dates from last year. These shows have had all three manufactures (not AC) for quite a number of years now. There is no way they are going to do Ski doo shows only, and then do Ski doo, Yamaha & Polaris on different dates.

The Maine date is February 28th; if that March 6th release date for Yamaha quoted above is accurate, I am pretty sure that Yamaha won't be letting the "Cat" (pun intended) out of the bag in Maine a week before they make their 2019 sleds public.

I was told by my Rep Yamaha is not doing any shows or tours this Year. Also Here is the info from Snowsneakpeek.com

There will not be a joint manufacturer Sneak Peek Tour in the United States this spring. Please visit the respective manufacturers' website of your choice to learn of possible individual tours and MY19 model viewing and demo opportunities.

I read this yesterday as well. What the hell is going on? No Sneak Peak in the US... this sucks.

Yep ... read that too. The thing is, manufacturer's are just shooting themselves in the foot by not participating in a sneak peek. I'm sure it's not cheap to send a bunch of sleds across the country, but if you don't do anything to spark consumer interest, you just loose more and more business to attrition.
