Here is an article from today’s (1-27-10)Ironwood Daily Globe:
Names of the three men, ages 46, 47 and 18, had not been released Tuesday afternoon.
They were snowmobiling on Lake Gogebic at the mouth of Snow River when their sleds went through the ice. They were too far out into the river for foot rescue, onlookers said.

Read the above and you’ll see why we say there is no such thing as "safe ice". If you choose to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for specific information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.
