You got a plan to get it out?
I experienced the same (dejavu?) at Strawberry a fews years back. We were able to break the ice over to the bank and get the ATV out of the water. I assume it is upside down, with the wheels up? It will be heavier than normal, you will need something to help pull it out of the water, alot of manpower, or a truck. It took an ATV and a snowmobile & about 3 guys to get my Honda out.
Depending on the temperature, I would recommend draining everything before it has a chance to freeze (air filters and oil crank cases), pull the plug and blow the water out of the engine. After doing all of this, it still cost me $500 to get the water out of the break lines & axles at the dealer.
Bummer man - i can sympathize. When I dunked mine at Strawberry, it was minus 28 degrees.
