Really well done. Terrific music. Did John Dittli film that?
Ostrander Hut has about 20 pair of ice skates they keep on hand when it's a cold/snowless fall. One of the great things about that time of year is listening to the booming and cracking of the ice as small surges of water move back and forth as ice shifts. Although I've skied across ice a number of times, I'm not a major fan. Always nerve wracking and I just don't trust ice.
They make ice picks that connect on a line through the sleeves so they dangle near the hands if you go through. Seems like minimum safety equipment to have on these adventures (though noticed the one guys seemed to be carrying a short rope).

None of the views expressed here in any way represent those of the unidentified agency that I work for or, often, reality. It's just me, fired up by coffee and powerful prose.
