Turtle lake

Post by Si »

had a fantastic session on turtle today. more than enough wind on a 12m turbo diesel from 0845 to 11am. first session of the year so i was grinning hard all morning. it was fun to see some familiar faces out there as well.
Thanks again mike for realigning my invert. saved me a good 15 minutes of messing around.

curious about the conditions. Is the snow bonded to the ice? Any bare ice exposed? How much snow depth would you say is there?

thanks

3-4 inches of powder. Carving hard turns brings you down to the ice. Very nice conditions overall. Great for N or N/NW. About 7 inches of ice on the south side of the lake. Thinner out in the middle.
