yeah, in all seriousness, falling thru the ice blows. been there several times.

and falling thru with skis on would be the worst - a thought that has crossed my mind while skihauling a sled on large frozen water ways and spotting open water near.

THAT gives one pause in ones adventuring. Who saw the National Geographic with a radical photoshoot of a team of two winter adventurers hauling kayaks and skis up and over the patagonian Icecap? Absolute madmen. the photos were incredible.
