Report from Ryan Hellyer …

We had a fresh snow dump overnight so I went up to inspect flagstaff this morning. Whare flat rd is very slippery, so be careful if you are driving there.

The small inlet opposite the main pond is much more solid now, but still looking a little too sketchy to skate on. I stood on it, but didn’t bother attempting to skate as that surface is too small to be worth risking falling in for.

The main pond is looking considerably healthier than the other day. The snow surrounding it has unfortunately made it very awkward to get to the thicker sections of the edges without risking falling in. I tested a section of ice further around the side, but once more got my leg wet up to the knee, a lack of foot holding is a real problem here unfortunately. The surface was probably skateable out in the middle but it would be very touch and go so I wouldn’t recommend it. A few good frosts and/or snow dumps and we may be in business though 🙂
