Makes me think it’s a 136” track with 54 rows/bars/windows cuz thats a 2.52 pitch. Most 137’s and 129’s are 2.86 pitch tracks with 48 rows/bars/windows(137”), and 45 rows on the 129”. 136" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be riding into and out of Fort Kent many times while I’m there. Madawaska is very cool too..most northeasterly town in the lower 48 I believe. Truly a Great snowmobiling area. Caribou is another great lil town too. That whole place is a different world altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually did a Southern loop from there, heading to royalton, south to Barnard (best trails and deepest snow), around up to Pittsfield then Stockton, then back to bethel. The trails around Pittsfield were getting beat up with traffic and seemingly lower snow depth. Heading back into bethel a tree had just fallen across the main trail and cut off bethel from the west, like 5 miles from my truck. There was no way around it. The re route north was 20 miles and thanks to some locals we were saved from a 40 mile re route up around randolph. I am sure a lot of people got a surprise with that tree. The locals we met immediately notified the club. One bad thing about Stockton trails and north (12, 4 and 12b) was that roads are a part of the trails in a many spots, and they were burnt. My sled looked like it was dragged up a beach when we got home with grit and sand in everything. The re route was pretty nasty in that respect, but hey, it was a re route and not the main route. The snow to the south down through Barnard actually seemed to be the deepest, more than what we encountered to the north oddly. Perhaps there was some elevation at play and the pittsfield area is a valley? Dunno. We had no plan and even if we did the tree would’ve effed it up anyway. It was a good snowmobile adventure in a new place so a good day for me and the boy. I hope we can sneak in another ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part that I’d have a problem with, was that sand and grit being in and on everything….I’m cringing at the thought lol…I’d probably need a few months of therapy after that lmao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son’s 600 ACE overheated a couple of times. Studs no scratchers. I am a believer now re scratchers. The 4 strokes should probably all have them unless they have a radiator of some substance. Scratchers will save hyfax as well. No downside i can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm not sure I would even call the Thurs/Fri system "a cutter". It doesn't really cut North it's more a sweeping arc of southerly flow going right through central New England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, it's not uncommon for a signal that strong at D12-15 to morph into a extreme pattern. Yes, true. I am not trying to imply that there is any specific reason to doubt it....I have been big on that period going back to last fall, but the prudent course of action is to always be leery of amplified solutions at very extended lead times, as you know.

That Canadian Shield of snow. Imagine if that was 300-500 miles further south. Gradient and how consistent snowfall amounts are north of it over a full two week model run is crazy. That is the type of pattern where I could make up some ground on the rest of SNE, but I'm sure Ginxy will find a way lol His spot always does.
