Ice is still 21" as of last night, all the surface snow is gone. The ice super slippery so if the wind picks up you may get blown across the lake. Chinook winds may be hard on tents, good luck.

Rice Rockets "drifting" at high speed.
Someone will get hurt when they drift into a pressure ridge.
No part of the lake seems to be off limits to these boy racers.

Drove by there today. Looks like there is a thin layer of water over the ice near the dam. Couple of trucks going sideways for lack of traction.

Curious for an update, been thinking of trying Ghost again. I have yet to catch a fish from there, but I hear it can be done...one day the fishing gods will reward me for the numerous skunked hours spent there. Hope you get something, good luck!
