Is the Lake frozen?

[codeman671]

I had a yellow one just like that on the lake in 2007-08. My best run was 105 on gps, 2 people on flat ice with 2 inches of fluffy snow cover. . It was a very safe machine though. I have actually been looking for another.

NO....if its not a "marked" snowmobile trail on the ice....no speed limit. Unless your within (? cant remember?) x amount of feet from a bob house and then its 10. there are a few lakes with speed limits though....back lake in Pittsburg is one.

This was pre-speed limit anyhow, although I can't imagine Marine Patrol would have pulled me over...

This was an airboat, not a snowmobile so I dont think it would have counted anyhow.

It wouldnt be marine patrol...fish and game will pull you over on ice.

http://www.conwaydailysun.com/featur...escue-training is all about training the fire department 'how to do ice rescues' on Conway Lake in Conway, NH.

It says someone can last for up to 15-minutes before freezing up due to body type and gender? For example, wading into the icy cold, 36-degree water in just a swim suit with a 104-degree hot tub nearby is definitely doable, while breaking through the ice in water over one's head could be a big problem.

I had to break through the ice in my hot tub once when it froze.

watrskir, I don't think F&G cares about how fast you travel over the ice unless you happen to have a salmon under your arm.
