We drove snowmobiles from the dam to the boat ramp and out onto the ice. Really slushy near the ramp for about 50 yards. We fished on the east side, a few hundred yards from the ramp and didn't have any slush. The west side was slushy in a lot more areas. Dam area was not slushy at all.
So, this is crazy, and I left it out of my original post. A couple guys drove a side by side over to the ramp, through the slush, and onto the ice. I thought they were insane, but they didn't go through and made it back out. They did get stuck trying to make it back up the ramp and it took them a good 1.5 hrs to get up it.
Later in the day, when we were fishing near the dam, I was worried about them and drove a snowmobile on the lake from the dam, to the boat ramp, and back. I definitely think I crossed some questionable areas, but kept the machine going as fast as it could and didn't have any issues.
All the ice we fished on was 5-6" thick.
