Hopefully, we don't meet that or beat the record. |
If the snowmobile goes through the ice, there are certain DNR regulations that cover that, but no, skipping is not illegal. It's not a safe practice and it's not something to be encouraged. |
Just stop in and talk to someone at one of the local bait shops. They are very knowledgeable about the area and will likely know what spots to avoid. |
Stay on snowmobile trails whenever possible. If you do find yourself leaving the trail, go only where other vehicles have already gone. |
There are so many of those local areas of open water, there's just no way we could find them all. We just don't get involved; that's up to the local snowmobiling groups. |
We always tell people that no ice is safe ice. The only time you know you can't go through is when you're not on it. |
