December 23
Most of the lake froze overnight with a thin sheet of ice. There is still a big hole over the deepest part of the lake, about a half kilometer south of where the official skidoo trail crosses the lake. It can't be seen in this photo, but there is a little mist in the background from the open water.
There is another big open area in the deep part of the lake just west of the outlet bay.

Snow and Ice
December 22.........
Klondike Bay froze over long ago and has seen skaters, skiers and snowmobilers. The rest of the lake is taking more time to settle in to winter mode. The widest part of the lake is still wide open.
Nearly a foot of snow has made it possible to put a nice track on the cross country ski trails! There are a few icy spots, so caution is advised, as always. The snowshoe track will also be packed before Christmas.
Skiers depend on those two skinny tracks in the snow to enjoy the trails. Non-skiers are requested to use the skidoo trails and snowshoe trails so as not to wreck the ski trails.
Ski and snowshoe trails begin at the big white pine across from the northern entrance to Sportsman's Lodge.
Check here often for photos and updates on ice and snow.
KEW Winter News will be sent on January 1st. Stories and photos are welcome.

Freeze-up 2012
Most of Kukagami Lake was frozen over by the middle of December, but the main body of the lake remains open. Warm temperatures and heavy snow predicted this week will likely keep the ice from forming for perhaps another week.
