We were out there today (around Rattlesnake) and the ice was very solid with minor slush. The issue was snow cover, there wasn't any. We tried to hit all the water to keep the sleds cool, but snow would have helped. We left around 1:30 and the snow was falling pretty hard (it was hard to see), that made it better, but more snow would help.
Everywhere we went, the ice was really solid.
