Try the Mission helmet form CXK. Best money I ever spent, no fog and your face isn't covered in your snot and wet all day.
My friend has one and likes it. I prefer the fewer moving parts of the Oxygen. He was getting air infiltration coming in last night at -2°F. I had no issues.

Couple great days. Ran a few short loops and ended up in Hiboux Tuesday. Very short four item menu but a nice vegetable soup and a soda did the trick. 35 had 3-4” of snow and was great cruising.
Yesterday, we rode down to Mt. Biencourt. 10/10 trails, just excellent cruising. Great lunch. 44-544-571-35. The fields got a little drifty but otherwise a dream to ride. Drove to dinner last night, L’Estaminet AGAIN. That’s where we are right now posting here. Listen folks, if you get a chance, go. Anyway, the falls down at the park are lit up at night, pretty place.
Very nice. Thank you for posting.

My friend Jerry and I arrived in Fort Kent, Maine Tuesday Afternoon 28 January. We went for a shakedown cruise as we had not ridden since March 2023. My Oxygen helmet was fogging up. Wednesday morning Tyler at Fort Kent Power Sports quickly diagnosed that my cord was bad. He gave me a new one for $60. He said he could warranty it if I had my receipt for the helmet purchase. When I got back to the hotel, it dawned on me to call Bickfords Sports Center where I bought the helmet. Crystal quickly provided me a receipt. Tyler credited my card. We got on trail 92 toward Alagash and Estcourt Station. My helmet quickly started fogging and progressively got worse. After Forty Something miles, I got tired of my $600 helmet giving me an ice cream headache. We rode straight back to Fort Kent Power Sports. Tyler quickly tested the shield, and determined it was producing low amps , and provided me with a new one at no cost. We rode the rest of the afternoon in Aroostook County. Fort Kent is in good shape, surrounding areas are thin, and many fields are not staked. This morning we crossed into New Brunswick and made a nice loop to Moose Valley, and are staying in Degelis, Quebec. The plan is to head West on Quebec trails and reenter Maine at Estcourt Station and return to Fort Kent.

I have done it with a 10L can of gas, however it you were breaking trail or running hard more would be required.
Yes indeed, I agree. The type of sled makes a difference. I would think in groomed conditions, a 900 ACE in economy mode would be no problem. Might not have to use the extra fuel.

Wow, Is one 15l link fuel caddy enough to get from Chibougamau to La Dore? I think it's about 210km from Chibougamau to La Dore...
I would have thought closer to 250 km. But the 15 liters on top of the fuel tank should be plenty.

Nice! I hope you can enjoy it! I am currently in Fort Kent, Maine. Hoping to get into the Province a little bit today. And get a room for a couple nights starting tomorrow.

Did a little exploring today. My wife and another couple inbound on Thursday, have to keep the ride quality high for her. Pain issues won’t stop her from cruising on her Enduro when the environment allows. RDL works so well for her.
544 completely plowed. App shows partly green, it’s wrong. Last 12 or so miles of 35 eastbound to 85 are boney. Otherwise, 85 is a highway, the lake run down Pohenegamook was soft snow and fast. Broke the front spacer in my rear suspension (the one that the limiter strap ties in with on the rails). Thankfully didn’t damage the track or anything else. Jean Morneau is the BRP dealer in town, GREAT people over there. They had the parts I needed. Kinda flew into town with hopes to get to the dealer in time in case they had to order for tomorrow, didn’t want to miss a cutoff time if there was one. I think I passed Jack and Sandi coming into town?
Trails are great otherwise. L’Estaminet put on another great meal last night. If you haven’t ever been into town for a meal, L’Estaminet is our favorite, Symposium is excellent as well. Taxi service is quick and reliable if needed.
Thanks for posting!👍

Sandi and I are at Universal. Drove up yesterday. I was here two weeks ago with the guys. Looks like a little more snow since then.
Sandi's first ride of the season. We decided to go to Squatec and back. We took 85, 44 544 and 571. Everything is groomed perfectly. Around RDL it was a little thin two weeks ago. Most of the little sticks in the trail are gone. Looks more like it should now. Only one gas station in Squatec. It is the one on trail 35 on the south side of town. Easy to get to and I think he is open 7 days a week. He said the weekend was very busy with sleds. Weekends maybe busy but today we only had one sled coming towards us all morning.
We ate at Chez Lelou. A nice little restaurant that is open 7 days a week. Many of the relais are closed on Mondays so this is a good option. It is about 10 miles east of Squatec off of trail 546 on Lac-des-Aigles. We have been stopping there for a few years now. The lady speaks very good English and the food is very good.
We headed back to Universal the way we rode down. It got pretty windy this afternoon and we ran thru a snow squall for the last 30 miles.
Forecast predicts some snow tomorrow, temps in the 20's. Wed and Thu no snow and a high in the single numbers.
The trails are great folks.
Jack & Sandi
Thanks very much! I hope to be in the area later this week!

Just rolled in ten minutes ago. Place is a ghost town, though two MA vehicles with trailers pulled in behind me.
Planning for Moose Valley Tuesday. Anyone have a preferred route one going there?

Nice two days of burning gas in BSL. Great company, always a privilege and pleasure to ride along with NHmoose. The Mrs. is really taking to this and I love, love to school “the teacher” in my classroom. No stress and having fun.
Trails are awesome. Nothing terrible. Usual early sticks poking up and occasional rock here or there, but mint for the 98% of the routes we rode. Love to ride roadsides with snow in January and get right in and out of gas and stops in town on snow/ice not blacktop. Nice area here and we will return when better snow in New Brunswick south of here. To get into NB and really loop around. Launch from here.
Shout out to clubs up in this region making it happen with not a hell of alot to work with in many areas.
Got to regroup and get a few things straightened out.
GPS cradle is dead on this here machine. (Will try to convince her it needs to be replaced with a garmin Tread) fingers crossed, let’s hope she doesn’t read this.Sena 50s driving me up the wall with stupid wifi adapter, I know use real laptop or computer, but we forgot adapter for the Mrs mac book. Will update firmware at home.
This sled known as Andre was out last season. Track was back ordered until early march. Never saw snow last year.
spent some time playing with more technology. Just getting the hang of it,
Stay tuned👍Thanks

Today we rode some green trails in Quebec. Fantastic. Made our way through New Brunswick and back to Fort Kent. Sleds are loaded. Nice little first outing. I am hoping February will bring some snow.
