It’s hot then it’s cold, it rains then it snows. That’s about the best way to describe this Minnesota winter. And with the snow occurring the least so far, winter sports businesses are being left hung to out to dry. With no snow, businesses like ATVSleds and Brothers Motorsports in Brainerd are frozen so to speak with snowmobiles they would normally have sold by this point.

But the part of their businesses that suffer the worst have been in repairs and maintenance, which usually thrive during this time. However they say they aren’t worried, and they’ll just shift their focus to other products until the snow arrives
