There were a couple of sleds out on Raymond pond tonight.
Was that any of you guys? If so how thick is the ice.
I didn't think it was ready yet, But if it is I'll check it out.

could have been me....was the sled loud? i was on a green firecat and some of it was open water...pretty fun to skip!

I wasnt on Raymond pond but i was on a pond tonight and the ice seemed more than think enough, we stoped and took a break on it

careful man, theres alot of spots on ponds thats open water around my area.

I didnt see any open water on this one, o ya and i should add the pond that i was on is only like 4 feet in the deep spots, I wouldnt go on a deep pond quite yet

You are doing a good job promoting what a responsible snowmobiler is all about. :div20: :frech32: :frech32:

That said, I would not allow my kid to go riding on any body of water at this point, we are a few weeks away from that.

I went across a pond I was hoping WASN'T open because I wanted to ride some water. Small isolated pond off Mountain devision trail. Never went through the ice started cracking in the middle but I never broke through. Went across about 5 times then 2003f5 decided it was "safe" so he came across. Alittle late I guess for me to be looking for open water on small ponds. Big sebago is nice and open thats for sure. Didn't see any ice at all on it last weekend. Unless you are looking for water or NEED to get across a small body of water I wouldn't test it. I would give it a atleast a few night of single digit-below zero degrees. Also days that don't have highs in the 30s.

Taylor Hill Pond in Freeman has over 6'', porter lake in New Vineyard/Strong has 4''...people been out on Wilson lake in wilton, not sure of the depth though. Startin to thicken up nicely.

Well, I went out on Raymond Pond and checked when I got home today.
I did 7 holes and the ice is between 4 1/2" and 5 1/2". probaly OK but I think I will wait a little longer! :banghead:
Thanks for all the replies! :div20:
AC

Were you on Runaround??

Nice test strip at the end

I went all the way down run around :div20:

If you can ride on open water why cant you ride on ice??

How old is he? If he's older than like 14 I would be willing to bet that he has skipped open water more than once

hahhahahahah :beerchug: i agree

[QUOTE]could have been me....was the sled loud? i was on a green firecat and some of it was open water...pretty fun to skip!

cats dont skip watter isac your a F*ck lol hahaha cat dont swim didnt a rev 550 tie your sled o ya it did i was thare a fan cold tied that f5 liquid isac your sled is slowe lol jk bud but that 550 did tie you

No way cats love water, my sled will do as much water as i wanted without problem, but if your referring to that F5 as being slow your probably right.

I was out on little sebago about a week and a half ago kinda sketchy then but its nice and thick now

as of right now little sebago lake is ready for riding went out to the middle of the lake today and drilled a hole and theres is exactly 6.5 inches of ice so thats good enough in my book to go riding

Its about a foot thick on sebago cove...big sebago is startingt to freeze on the edges but i definitly wouldnt try it yet

ive heard from many people that theres any where from 8 - 12 inches of ice out on wilson lake in wilton. there are a buch of ice shacks out there. havent been out on it myself yet though.

hancock pond in denmark had 8" today. drilled 1 hole near the boat launch, and one down on the other end where it connects to sand pond (walden pond). there were 4 or 5 shacks out there.
