Now let’s get some snow. Put my 600:6’s on for my wheel skis so I’m ready.
Jim
Looking forward to this winter, I have a set of 1850’s for my Champ. This will be my first time on ski’s, so bring on the snow!

Well it's January 3rd and the weather outlook over the next 10 days calls for temps favorable for making an inch of ice on average daily. With little to no snow forecast we could be on ice next week here in Vermont. How's it looking in the Dacks?

Tom, never mind snow, you have to get to Minnesota to bring back that Maule
LOL, going to wait until the WX warms up from -21 F , not real good Maule wx, been there.
Glenn

Thanks Glenn. I see Marty once in a while when he turns up at HWV.
Pretty location. We sold our place in Worcester/Westville a few years ago. I miss it sometimes, but not the issues of maintaining two houses! For a while I kept an beater car at Oneonta and would commute with my Comanche. I would use that as a cross country for my instrument students and buy them lunch at Brooks Barbecue.

Rich.
See you at Twitchell weather providing.

Hey Glen, is there any snow or bare ice, thinking of coming in the Champ on wheels. Still haven’t been able to fly it since I hooked up the heat. So depending how that goes in flight.
Got some snow last night
Starting to look like skis only
"Optimism is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you!"
Update. Got a report from Twitchell Lake. 6 to 8" of solid ice with 5" of fluffy snow on top. Tires will be fine for those of you without skis. Looking to start at noon. Some are meeting up at Speculator around 9:30 for breakfast. 7" at Speculator.
Twitchell at 11:50. No signs of life. Went back home and ate at McDs. Beautiful day for flying anyway. Must have been to early.
Jim
It was -2 at my house this morning and no heat in the open hangar so gave up.
-1F when I left home this morning. Five cubs for breakfast at Speculator then low and slow to Twitchell. 14 planes. Thanks Dave for a warm lunch, camp fire and friendship.

And here I sit looking across the RWY at my Champ kicking myself for not at least trying to warm it up and fly.
Dead calm balmy sunny day. Might be the best one we get all winter. Hard smooth ice with a little snow.

I had "just one more thing" to tweak on my ski setup and it was nearly 2:00 before we were ready to fly. We ended up staying relatively local.

Which end and what time did you guys get there?
Jim
Dave's cub was halfway down the lake. He had a smokey fire going and stood out on the ice and saw you land and takeoff. We got there around 12:15. Sorry we missed you

I flew to the east to go up on the mountain. He gave me a ham &swiss, spanked me on the backside and said go forth and turn avgas into noise, and don’t be a stranger. Mr Turbobeaver himself

Well it's clear he not only has great taste in friends but also dog breeds.

Just be careful Jim, listening to Earle's experiences are so good that you won't want to leave and you'll end up landing in a narrow river in the dark

Got off the ground a little too late you catch you guys! We flew over around 2:15 but it looked like everyone was heading to their planes.
Maule?
Glenn
"Optimism is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you!"
Yes, white and blue Maule.
When I was much younger, I got so I could re-do the recoil starters on those single cyl. Rotax's in my sleep. They were steady work. LOL
Glen, is that about a 1967 Olympic??? 14 /16 hp?
Here is my Dad circa 1960 with first sled in our town! Polaris "SnoTraveler"! Bought new from 'SuprCrows' dad.
