Alton Bay Ice Runway 2015

From the Facebook post of the airport manager today:

Ok everyone, We checked the ice in the bay this after noon. The thickness is almost 12" We finished marking out the runway. I will check again tomorrow, there are a few rough spots to try and smooth out. If all looks good will try to open saturday the 24th!!!

Hope the snow stays south of the lakes region like they say it may.

And thanks to Paul and his crew. They have more markers for the airport and parking area. This is quite the volunteer effort, and thanks to the FAA for their support.

For those on FB who want to follow postings there, look up Alton Bay Seaplane Base and Ice Runway.
