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.

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.

I think it's safe to say that there is no greater place to play in the world than your great city.

Hopefully, we don't meet that or beat the record.

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.
