Lake and Campground groomed
Lake 4K groomed for classic and skate. Campground groomed for skate.
Lake Ice depths
I drilled 3 holes about 100 meters apart. I started at Skater’s Cabin. Ice depths; 8″, 6″, 12″. Each of these holes had a noticeable ‘air-pocket’ that whooshed as I punctured it., about 2″ above the bottomost layer. The ice was easy to drill which is not typical. There is a list of precautions for traveling on lake ice, you should review them.
Left Gore-tex mitten lost 12/26/17 at skaters cabin parking area.
if spotted please call 723-9066. Thank goodness I’m right handed.
Fun skate skiing on the lake!
Pretty fun skate skiing out on the frozen lake today! Start at Skater’s Cabin, stay away from the edges and double pole across the bare ice sections. You can easily cruise on the snow patches and play “connect-the-dots” across the lake. DANGER! Be smart and stay safe – do not go past the rock peninsula.
Something Fun & Different
Try Luge Sledding from noon to 2:00 PM today (12/25) on the run named Muskeg above the Eaglecrest lodge. Luge sleds and Instruction provided. Bring flexible footwear, helmet and goggles. Hot chocolate optional!
Lake skatable, with common sense in use
crystalline, abrasive snow, some bare spots for double poling only, as usual, use common sense and be safety conscious.
