Is anyone heading out to Waconia on Thursday? I'm heading up from Rochester, does it still have snow attached to the ice?
Happy New Years

Waconia on Thursday?

Jim,
I was out there before the last warm spell a few days ago. There will be fine ice but snow will be far and few inbetween. Don't go there if you are looking for snow.
On the other hand, Waconia has such good wind from W that it's almost worth going there nomatter the snow conditions. Snowboarding on ICE is not impossible. I call it just "technical" Your board and technique has to be good. On the downside, you have to concentrate all the time so there is no ZONE you hook into. Unless, of course, your ZONE is 100 percent concentration all the time.
Have fun!
