Ice conditions are very poor up in the Lac La Biche area... Do to the amount of snow we have received this past 2 weeks it has made for very bad ice conditions and I doubt they will be very good all year unless the snow stops.. We had only about 4 - 6 inches of ice on some of the smaller lakes (Blacket, Beaver,) and then came the heavy snow.. It has insulated and is sinking the ice.. We already have over flow.. Extreme caution should be used if anyone is venturing out.. I hope it improves by Christmas so a guy can get in a few days over the holidays,, but I know it will be with quad or snow machine only... Extreme caution should be used when going out on the ice for quite a while yet..

Coal Lake (by Millet) has about 12". But heard some stories that a quad just about went through a spot where a spring must have been.

A truck was parked on in the middle by the north boat launch.

Hey Ace, were you there yesterday? If so, I was the guy in the 2 man tent you spoke to as you were leaving . It wasn't till after you were gone that I started wondering if that was you.
