To update for Mike, and anyone else that may care, Cedar (in WI) is fully open as of yesterday morning, April 10. As a point of interest:

Hey Mike, Since Steve and Nancy are in S.P., I'll offer the answer of "No", Cedar isn't open yet. I was on it in a kayak yesterday and here is still a big sheet over the majority. Although it is pocked with holes, it is still 6"-8" thick. I would suspect it will be a few more day...

An interesting article I was pointed to:

Talk about G'day mate.

I just took a walk out on Cedar and there is still a crust of snow. Much of the tracks from yesterday are bare, but there is still a great deal of white. And if I was capable, I would certainly be setting up. Good luck.

Let me say, from first hand experience, the snow on the lake IS FLUFF. The lake has been seemingly Zambonied and is so righteously skatable it isn't funny. Well, actually, it is funny. I was laughing up and down this afternoon when the southeasterlies finally blew enough to give me some rides. I don...

3rd day in a row on Cedar Lake (WI). as a term, windless is a close description to what the conditions have been out here. i am glad to be a competent ice skater so that i can skate around to keep the kite up long enough to catch the infrequent puffs. to add, Happy Holidays!

despite Steve B's post on contrary weather, I'll go ahead and chime in on Cedar Lake (WI). we finally have a full 1100 acre glaze. the edges are 3-4". if the temps can keep making ice, we should be a week out, tops. that is, if I havent jinxed it with this post.

eric,

really nice work. is there a skid deck or foot straps planned? also, with all your work, i want to thank you, ahead of time, for assuring an excellent snow fall this year.

Steve and I were on Cedar in WI until tuesday. and would have been out yesterday, would that there was wind. despite receeding from the shore and needing hip boots or a boat to reach the ice, it was still 12" thick. the downside is the continued honeycombing that deepens each day the sun has a ...

i picked up a pair of Coyotes at a 'play it again'. seems folks purchased them for off-road skating when they first came out, but their 7lb weight really doesnt make them very 'skatable'. however, they do roll with ease over the land/street crud on a downhill or under the power of a dog. i gave them...

Cedar lake WI has 30 - 36" with a soft snowless mush crust on top. too bad it's a light north east today. despite the heat, ice out is a ways off this one.

i will chime in the tally from saturday on CEDAR lake in WI was "3". snow, sun and wind. what a hoot.

Hunter, for what it is worth, i am 60lbs heavier than you are and really enjoyed my time on the ice with a B-3 all of last year. and while i am not a water kiter, i did manage to use the 3 during the off-snow season honing my skills and just turning people onto the smile of kiting. i truly believe t...

my experience with skiboards has been limited to using a B-3 or B-5 on either unskatable mixed ice or hard pack. i started kiting last year with my ice skates and became disgruntled when we began getting snow and i could no longer use the skates. i am more of a skater than a skiier. after searching ...
