As you can see from the photo above which was taken only 2 days ago, there is still plenty of snow in the region to ride. The temperatures are moderate yet cold enough to keep the trails in great shape.

Riders we have here this week say that from town

The 2008 ice fishing season has begun and Big Wood Lake has come alive with sledders or ATV pulling their gear in hopes of getting their catch of the day....

May 10 ----Ice is out!!!!

May 9 Ice out update!

Where did it go?

Let me start with how the lake looked yesterday. There was open water on both sides of the lake with patches of water throughout the ice in the center. Then the winds started; high

It's hard to believe that about 10 days ago, there were still crazy snowmobilers riding the lake to get to the trails
Last weekend, the temperatures were in the low 60's with a warm factor (the temperature in the sun),
of about 80. Wow, it was beautiful out.

Father and son have been here fishing all week. When the temperatures were in the single numbers and the wind was blowing, they built themselves a snow wall right on shore to watch for their flags. These are ice fisherman!!!!

They have done great all week
