Title: Ice Conditions Post by: DN 5449 on March 21, 2010, 06:20:58 PM How smooth does the ice have to be to sail.On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the smoothness of the ice that was in Thunder Bay for the N.A 's.
Title: Re: Ice Conditions Post by: Geoff Sobering on March 21, 2010, 07:06:05 PM I'd rate the ice at Thunder Bay at around 8 or 9.
The main defect was the "orange peel" bumps on the surface. The "runner width" cracks were also an issue.
