    funny enough my electric shield lost its protection and fogged up on the inside this weekend. First time Ive had issues

    3 in our group had electric visor failures on their Missions. I think it comes from the locking connector being yanked when you get off your sled without disconnecting 

    Help me plan my trip..

    Looks like I have time for 2 more trips this season, the 2nd will be north of Mont Laurier in March.  My last Ontario trip will start mid next week but I'm having trouble deciding on Timmins or Sault Ste Marie.

     

    Coming from KW I would like to setup accommodations as far south as possible while heading north on day trips.  I'm also not opposed to driving an hour from the accommodations to access another area but just not every day.

     

    I believe that the area north of Sudbury is likely the best from a conditions perspective but I hear that the superior east shore is getting a dump this W/E.  Quality of trails comes first tho ;)

     

    Thoughts? and thanks in advance :)

     

    P.

    I would say go to Quebec. Can start at Maniwaki just north of Ottawa. Short drive

    Got 3 mission helmets on our trip. 2 have bubbled visors and all 3 are full of snow when they open their shields. I was thinking of getting one.  But the BV works pretty good   no heat to the shield needed.   I also wear glasses. 

    Don’t put your mission helmet directly over a heat source on your sled. Like behind the handlebars on a cat or sidewinder. Will cause shield to bubble. Doing that with a Modulaire will also cause it to lose its seal on the visor

    Fueling up in the morning is for Rookies...

    I take exception. We arrived late and the owner asked if we could fuel up in the morning so he could get our dinner ready. Lose the arrogance

    Good to know. I had to give up sledding this year because of a fall i had from a ladder in March resulting in a brain injury but hope to get back in for next year. First time I will miss a season for many years.....

    You will be back. Good luck

    So you wake up at your favourite poirvoirie in Quebec. It’s minus 30. Staggering to your sled you start it up and drive over to the gas pump. Fill up. Now it won’t start. 
    Frozen fuel pump relay. How do we fix it? Let’s hear suggestions for different models. 

    On my Sidewinder I breathe on it through cupped hands and tap it. Worked so far. Now I have a sealed relay from Yamaheater

    Anyone with the mission wear glasses?

    My brother and I have missions. He wears glasses with no trouble and finds the electric shield helps too
