Alot of my decesion of going this weekend is if I can cross the ice...I don't have alot of time and want to make good use of it!

From what the clubs are saying and all I've been hearing all day is "stay off the ice" its not safe yet.... Hopefully soon

it's not that long ago that IP was all open water...

Well as far as Derby Pond goes, it was frozen over this past weekend. I did see tracks going down to it yesterday, but i am not sure if it has been crossed or not. The tracks could have been turned around. I would think by this weekend it will be safe, but no guarantees. Dont take my word for it. Ill report back this weekend.

Come on Gader, you live right across the road. Go core a hole, even better send your brother out there....hahaha

haha I should. lol I tell you what, ill go get a Yamaha 4 Stroke from the local dealer and if the ice supports it, we are good to go.

Looks like lots of tracks across Island Pond.

check the cams!

Yeah, come on someone core a hole! IMO its been so warm I'd only do it WOT

Looks like some fishing shanty's out there today.

Regardless of ice thickness, you should do it WOT

Really though, if I crossed it, I sure as hell wouldnt waste any time.

This came off (IP) Brightons report yesterday morning. From our own groominfool. Take it for what its worth.

Morning Sledders,
Well the storm has passed and we got between 6-8" depending on location and elevation. We are rolling the groomers for the first time this morning to begin packing and opening up the trails. Please stayed tuned to the "Trail Report" page on this site for further updates and please stay off all bodies of water.

I'm not saying I would go on the ice, it's still to early to have uniform thickness, but someone has cause there apear to be 2 fishing shants visible from the web cam. No one ever said icefisherman were sane.

I was gonna say its like a double edge sword who's stupid enough to try it or who has the balls to do it? Maybe just watch the icefisherman

They always say that no matter what--even if there is a foot of ice on the pond

It was 70 degrees last week. Stay off the ice for now and stay alive.

there were some shantys out in island pond and someone had driven their jeep out a little ways we went around derby pond didn't see an track really across looked like they thought about and turned around.... we didn't dare try it like tony said stay alive

My cousin just called and said he put his sled through the ice on SEYMORE. I would advise staying OFF that lake!

thats what I was afraid of....thanks for the info...
I hope he ok
