Nordic skating can be dangerous. Read Bob Dill's "Lake Ice" website. Carry safety equipment and do not go alone. Fast communication is essential; between frost and thaw, snow and wind, conditions can change quickly; ice that was safe a few hours ago may not be safe anymore.

Anyone can read the messages without subscribing. Please become an active participant and add your reports. Although the focus of this group is Vermont, messages about conditions a bit beyond Vermont's borders are welcome. We like some banter, but post long ruminations as attachment.
