When Ice-Out is close Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation makes frequent flights over the lake to determine as close as he can the exact time the Mount's path is open. Check this Citizen article for more information:

Although Dave communicates directly with some of the media the Lakes Region Association has been the major distributor of the announcement for many years by sending out press releases and other notifications (like to this site). Soon after it is announced on radio stations and newpapers throughout the region. It is also announced on this site so just keep checking here.
Keep in mind that the calling of Ice-Out is totally unscientific and is just for fun and tradition.
