Accessed the lake at Matlock and drove to the ridge (north), which was an open (water) crack at 7am about 1.5’ wide in most areas.  No trucks were crossing it at that time.  The ridge is maybe 1km offshore.

Fished at the mouth and the ice was about 1.5’ thick and then all slush.  I would not recommend truck travel anymore on the lake.
There were only those 4 trucks and one 4dr jeep driving around on the ice today at the mouth, everything else was either a tracked vehicle, atv or sled.

Coming off the lake today around 1:30pm the open crack had almost been pushed totally back together again, but who knows what it is going to look like later.  Bring board and planks if you plan to travel over this area

Went in on Chalet Beach today,access was hindered buy a 12-18 crack. I walked out 1 mile. Ice was quite solid. Drilled a few holes and ran into slush as well 1.5ft down. Came back at noon and the crack was pushed in and drivable. Went and checked out Warner and saw no problems to drive out there tomorrow with the Expedition or even my white Malibu. Trucks and quads everywhere today. Cheers
