Alton Bay Ice Airport
Yesterday, we tried to plow again, with a V plow, regular plows...still too much slush and water. Discovered that the ice thickness is very uneven between the Bandstand and Sandy Pt. The ice thickness in one area, near the center, was only 10 1/2" thick. The other areas are over 12". Water was bubbling up through the cracks making the conditions very unsafe for our trucks. For now, it does not look good for the runway this year. To all our pilots, we appologize. If we can get some snoblowers on tractors. we may have a chance to clear the snow, slush and water so it can freeze. We will keep you posted.
