Pineview and/or Rockport updates

[icerman]

Anyone been to Pineview or Rockport recently?  Any reports on ice safety?  Edges?  Catching?  Hoping to get out this weekend, would prefer to go closer than Strawberry.  I sure would appreciate any recent reports!

Thanks

I wouldn’t trust any ice right now besides the ice at upper elevation. Even then it’s questionable cause people have fallen through at Strawberry. I fell through at rockport a few weeks ago, and that ice was 4 inches thick. Warm temperatures are making ice layers very weak. We did not get the arctic air we were hoping for. If you go wear a floating pair of bibs and a pair of spikes around your neck.

Thank you Gabe!  Because of your experience at falling through at Rockport and introducing me to floating bibs, I just got my pair of Striker predator lite bibs in yesterday!!!  I generally do not wear bibs, BUT, because of your experience and the strange ice this year, I figured they are worth it!  Thank you so much for alerting me to something that I never knew existed!

I went to Pineview last Sat. and the ice in the Narrows was good, much better that Rockport the week prior!  Not sure how the warmth and rain affected the Pineview ice for this weekend though!
