Title: Granby ice
Post by: CJH123 on Jan 31, 2018, 10:08 PM: I know they just had the tournament, and I've searched the forums.
But i have not found the info I'm looking for.
With the lake freezing later than usual, how is the ice? What about the 2 spots that froze very late?
Not been up yet this season and wondering if there are any areas to stay away from.
Looking to go up soon, have 2 snowmobiles and an atv to haul the family around.
Any info is much appreciated, better safe then sorry.

Were you on a machine?
Anyone else have info on other parts of lake?

It shouldn't , just don't go by the pump house. Ice is usually always sketch over there, early on.

Going to give her a go, just get nervous sometimes taking the family out.

Post by: Beerslushy on Feb 01, 2018, 09:21 PM: I was there Tuesday. About 8” of ice with lots of slush on top. I didn’t bring my snowmobile since I wasn’t sure about the ice. Fishing was good though despite lots of wind.

Post by: bouldertrout on Feb 04, 2018, 10:13 PM: Was wondering if anyone has an update on Granby ice condition from this weekend? The report I find are few days (~ 1 week) old.
