Well I've been having lots of fun latley up here in northern Mn. We have about 10" of ice on the lakes with about 3" of snow on top of that and the ski flying is great!. Any one that parks their plane till spring is missing out on some of the best flying of the year, in my opinion. I've flown on 3 of the last 6 days, and we've had at least -20 F the last three nights. At least we missed out completly on the snow that hit Minneapolis last weekend. Just got the wind, no snow. I had a friend of my snap a few pictures of me with my camera today on a lake as I did a fly by, this one came out the best. Take care, Jim Chuk
