Hi all,
We went out on the lake snowmobiling today and I thought that I would give you the low down before you ride this weekend. We rode from Meredith out past Welch island and back.
Most of the ride was thin packed snow with areas of glaze ice. It was quite cold with the unabated wind.
Dress Warm!
There are some nice areas of snow on the leeward side of the islands.
The riding is generally quite good and the lake is reasonably smooth. We crossed about 5 ice rifts during the ride; none of them were particularly large.
On areas of glaze ice, it is very difficult to change direction and studs are highly recommended for safe stopping.
The ice fishing derby is in the final preparation and there are a number of bob huts on the lake. Predictably, there are a ton of them in in Meredith.
Happy riding!
