i live in mt. vernon. how far away do you think the drive would be?

95storm · 12-30-2006, 10:48 PM

Not sure I'm from Bangor and it took 4.5 hours so if you know how far you are from bangor just add or subtract. Good luck and hope you get your sled together!

I have a ten guy trip to fort kent this week end into next week is it realy worth the trip from nh.How many trails open and what are the surronding towns like,madawaska,frenchville,etc.

Do you guys think its worth the Drive from Western Ny? I mean we have no snow here.

95storm · 01-01-2007, 02:30 AM

To all you guys who want to know if it worth the ride. I am a gearhead and do not spend money on equipment to let it sit in my garage. I also do not like to put my equipment through useless punishment IE: Rotten trails. If you are looking for feet of snow no they have around 15" to 18" but it is packed very solid and they are grooming the trails. If they are running the piston bullys there must be rideable snow. I posted some pics in the Fort Kent thread check em out. I lovede the riding I rode from Fort Kent to Madawaska and back then to Saint Francis and back and then to Eagle lake and back all great riding. There were a few skimpy spots in the open feilds but nothing of concern. I guess What Im saying is there is enough snow to keep the hyfax's lubed up and fill the ruts cause the trails were flat! Happy trails and Good luck!

15" is enough snow.

O.K. last day before I can cancel this trip need to leave thurs night and its an 8hr drive. Anyone thats been to Fort kent area after new years day I'd love to get your appinion.

I was told that they got another 5" yesterday. Have you called any local hotels in the Fort Kent area and asked? I stayed at a place called Northern Doors try it out.

Called A local dealer and was told to replan the trip.mostly local trails are open and not worth the time would be boring riding the same 40 mile loops for three days.5 of the guys canceled oyher 5 are still going.I myself am going to wait and save the money.
