How to measure ice thickness before venturing onto a frozen lake
Sweetstandardpro started with two experienced lake guides, a binder of hand-marked ice thickness charts, and one rule: never take anyone onto ice we haven't personally tested first. That rule has never changed.
The binder is fuller now and the guide roster has grown. But we still spend early season checking ice conditions before we schedule a single trip, testing routes we know and scouting new ones.
- Every route tested on ice before we guide it
- Guides trained in cold water rescue and winter first aid
- Groups kept small for safety and control
