Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 20, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 20, 2020 ROCKWOOD, Maine (WGME) -- The Maine Warden Service says a 56-year-old New Hampshire man died Sunday night after breaking through the ice while snowmobiling on Moosehead Lake. Wardens says around 9:00 p.m., Steven Allard, of South Hampton, New Hampshire and his wife were snowmobiling together on two separate sleds and were returning to Rockwood Cottages. When they got back to the shoreline where the trail meets the lake, Allard left and looped around towards the mouth of the Moose River when he broke through the ice, according to wardens.

Anler Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We rode across a bunch of lakes this past weekend and even the ones that are marked out got slushy after a bunch of sleds went over it. They all froze and then melted and then got a ton of snow on top, they may never be totally frozen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point even if they do freeze that top layer there will most likely be 2 layers of ice and breaking through that thin top layer really sucks.

Ice just not consistent enough on West Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can scare the shit out of one when not expecting it. That being said , most who drop thru get scared and hit the brakes instead of the throttle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGNHL Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Guy didn't stay on the marked trail and went right into the mouth of the river basically, sucks for sure. If a lake is marked and you don't know it you should follow the stakes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 How do you guys even know if he was a good guy? Maybe he was a fukkin' punk. Maybe he hurt people. Maybe he had a big fukkin' punk mouth. Maybe he caused trouble everywhere he went. Maybe he got in fist-fights with people. Maybe he was a criminal. Maybe he drank like a mother-fukker and didn't care if he smashed into somebody. Maybe, he was a good guy, but we don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 thats an area you really need to be careful.

We watched 2 Patriots Superbowl wins staying at the Birches. The wives liked the Birches and the guys did too as they cooked meals and had a bar.

If a lake is marked and you don't know it you should follow the stakes Yup, and you never ride near the inlets were the currents are strong. We were on Canada Falls Lake just yesterday, and you have to be careful up near the damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's been fuckin' Tyrone at work for the last year, and is glad her husband is gone, so now she is free to bang Tyrone, and gets the house and money??? Wouldn't surprise me if your wife secretly hopes you take the deep six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT MXZ XRS Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Couple of sleds and vehicles went thru the ice up in Houghton Lake this past weekend. I didn't hear if there were any injuries or deaths. Sounded like the details were still being gone thru. Was a busy weekend up there this past weekend.
