Ice in the Soyo thread

anybody holding?

I can't think of any significant waterfalls. That's how it works, right?

I cringe at doing anything in snow or ice. Heck, you lose me at around 50degrees. Total wuss, I know, just tellin it like it is.

waterfalls make it easy, but even seaps and drainages that are dry in summer can have ice form in winter.

creeks that cascade steeply can be great WI2 to 3

There is bound to be ice in SoYo at plenty of locations, but seeing as no roads are plowed, getting to it would be the crux. Miles of snowmobiling/backcountry skiing would be necessary.

When you put it that way, some incredible places pop to mind. Getting there would be very limited even with a snowmobile.

Seeing some of our favorite haunts in winter does sound quite cool, doesn't it? Bombing down the notch between Gray and Electric on skis or a sled perhaps? My best friend thru high school had 5 or 6 snowmobiles, and boy it sure was a blast. Leo has done a multi-day snowmobile excursion deep into Soyo, to the Balls and beyond. I've gotta get him to share some pics.

Hi all,  I am missing many of you.



Nate,  I have had that same thought of how cool it would be to ski down between Gray and Electric.


As far as ice formation,  most waterfalls have to great of a volume to create ice,  seeps and seasonal falls tend to be more favorable.  It takes very cold temps over a fair amount of time to get most falls to freeze.
