Quaboag Status 1/8/25

Straight from our trusted Quaboag Pond scout, Bob S., the advice is clear: let the cold do its work for a few more days. Check out Bob’s take on Quaboag below. While conditions are still firming up in the more souther areas, there’s no shortage of action in New Hampshire and Maine and points north, where opportunities are either open or opening soon.

For those seeking top-tier competition, James “T” Thieler, Eastern Lakes Rear Commodore of the International DN Ice Yacht Racing Association (IDNIYRA), previously reported that the Montreal group is hosting the Canadian Nationals this weekend. A premier event for serious racers in the Northeast.

Stay tuned: we’re compiling reports and will share a full summary of weekend opportunities tomorrow evening, shortly after 7 p.m.

See you on the ice this weekend!

Wednesday i stopped by quaboag, cut a hole in front of the ramp it was 4 inches.

Drove down the east shore and found some holes and large cracks.

The same thing on the west side, only found 2 inches  in some places.

I didn’t walk it because i was alone, too many different kinds of ice not good for sailing yet.

Going up north for the weekend.
