After watching the weather over the week Dave and I decided to check Poolburn to see if any ice had survived the warm weather and wind. The drive there was relatively mild temperature wise so we were surprised to find skateable ice. The ice from last Sunday had been snowed on then the snow thawed. We ended up with about 8cm of ice near the shore thinning out further out. Some of it bumpy because of the snow but great skating. There was open water near rocks so we were limited to most of the main bay and around to the dam. Great skate although on the way back from the dam a strong headwind came which started an instant thaw and cracks appeared around us as we skated. Once we made the lee shore the ice was less affected. Coalpit Dam had skateable snow ice. Good day all round.
