Ultrafrozen Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Never nice to hear sad news like this. I feel for family and friends. Doesn't help at river inlets but I personally hate riding lakes and rivers unless the snow is sled packed. The loose unpacked snow insulates the ice and it doesn't freeze as thick. I hate slush even more. I've seen many sled tracks in deep snow on lakes and the trench often has wet slush in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 My Condolences. THis is a real problem. I run with a GPS at ALL times. You never know when you can get disorientated on a lake. You need to follow known path. If natural water flow isn't enough Danger, Ice Fisherman have been opening up huge areas of the ice near my place. I drove right over a hold large enough for my sled to drop in. I 12 inch hole is one thing, drilling 10 and then and breaking the ice up is plain STUPID! Be Safe!!
