ICE TALES Francois, You said a key word river. Any current will erode ice fast. however most northern lakes dont have much of a current. As for getting wet, maybe at fourty below but in the spring we can be working on the ice on nice sunny warm days 10 to 15 degrees above C. If you go through it is a shock to the system but hardly deadly unless you manage to drown. Getting wet is all part of the bush experience. I've only put one machine through (knock on wood) and was trying to get from shore to the ice. I made the mistake of leaving my sled on and it slowed me down just enough. Luckily I turned the machine off and waded ashore. What surprised me was the amout of steam, airbubbles and noise the machine made sinking into around five feet of water. You would think that would be it for a snowmobile. I had to walk a few miles to get a buddy. He was closer then my come along back at camp. We got the machine out in a few minutes (thats why you trail a rope in the spring)and after blowing the gas line and carborator had it running in 20 minutes. It was an old ELAN the work horse of the north. take care and if you go fishing with JP you are a much more patient person then I. regards Walt
