It gets inconsistent a couple hundred yards out. Open water under the dock at the town launch.

a local guy thought the same last winter around Brooks, ice was 12 inches where he drove on. truck became a submarine. 12 inches is nuts. it isnt always the same thickness all over any lake in Alberta, why risk going through and maybe dying, walk!

Anyone head to Beaver Mines or Beauvias ? I know you can probably camp at both, and should be easy on your trailer...

for reference...Lake Sundance in Calgary has 8 inches (7 clear and 1 white) within 40 feet of shore.
This lake does have variable ice conditions so it will be interesting to see what the over all thickness is.
Any other lake communities in Calgary with ice reports?

I heading to PCR for the first time. Is the ice still looking good? Wasn't sure what the weather has been like down there. Where's the best spot for a newcomer to wet a line? At the Bridge or by the dock in the south?
