ACSA: Ride Right on Ice
EAST LANSING, MI / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2020 / Taking the sled out for a ride is a great way to enjoy a change of scenery and get some fresh air, but don t ignore ice conditions while appreciating the ride, reminds the American Council of Snowmobile Associations, (ACSA).
Not all ice is created equal, and as such, won t support in the same way. While many riders consider a 5 thickness safe for sleds, experts say that overall measurement may not be as safe and that minimum thickness should be doubled if ice is covered by snow. Ice fluctuates in freezing and thawing cycles, making it potentially unstable and dangerous, said Scott Herzog, ACSA president, and long-time rider. The best ice to ride on is clear ice with a blue tint, as that is typically the thickest and strongest ice.
