Snow Conditions on the Lake?

[53orbigger]

I was wondering if someone could give me an update on the snow conditions on the lake. I am planning on coming up tomorrow evening and was wondering if I could leave the snowmobiles at home. I would like to be able to drive out of Stuntz Bay to our cabin which is north of birch island. Do you think this would be possible, or should I plan on dragging the snowmobiles up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think you should be able to get there if you are driving a 4X4.

There may be a road plowed out past the West end of Birch, with any luck.

Bring a shovel, just in case!

Thanks Cliff. I am driving a 4x4 and I think I will chance it.

Thanks Again

While out searching for an overdue snowmobiler on Saturday night, came across 2 guys shoveling their way from the North side of Ely Island trying to get to Stuntz Bay. They were in a 4 wheel drive Jeep. It was tough going. Someone may have reopened the road by now. Can't say for sure. I would maybe do some more checking before making the final decision.

gonna be really sloppy this weekend. I would take a sled instead.

Thanks for the info guys. I hope that they have opened the road back up, because I think I am still going to give it a try with the truck. I may be the next guy you see trying to dig out!

Thanks Again

I drove up past the trout lake portage today with my truck. Some of the drifts were deep but I didn't have to get out and shovel at all!!!
