Which side are we using this year? North of the bridge or out by the Island?

Guess you have not been around lately ... last couple of years on south side and west of island.   We will not use the north side.....complaints about noise.

Just follow from Day's Inn.

Posted some photos from this afternoon from Ghost Lake ... 15-17" of ice measured by others near the island.

White-out conditions early in the afternoon and a couple of got stuck because not see the new and large drifts that formed since yesterday ....   Can you say strong west winds?  Chinook winds?   

Later on near the landing and big crack it was ok - see photos on SASC FB page.

The instructors session was mostly canceled, Im not sure how many actually went to Ghost Lake but Reijo sent an email  that morning saying it was canceled so I stayed home.  Not sure if we will have another shot at doing the instructors school before the first student session.

Any chance of having a brief instructors school before the 1st wave of students on the 31st?  Finally got a fresh pair of studded tires on the front, tho Im back to possible snap oversteer since the rear tires have lost most of the studs or they are worn flat.  I might just goto Ghost Lake tomorrow by myself and get a better feel for this Accord on ice with its current setup.
