January 30, 2018 - Ice Imagery, Routes & Hazards Update, Pivot Charts

Post date: Jan 30, 2018 2:51:8 PM

I located some imagery from January 2015, where the water level dropped to 1665 feet, and the ice dropped along with it. It's also high contrast with bright snow and shadows so it reveals a lot of information about the reservoir. I can't share the imagery here because it's from a private source, but it resulted in quite a few changes to routes and hazards. The imagery is clear enough you can see snowmobile trails, stumps and rocks, and the Christmas trees that are "planted" out across the ice to guide snowmobiles. The example image below shows the path back to the Kettle Hole campsite. I also updated the reservoir elevation statistics on the "Assorted Information" page and created some pivot tables that show year over year statistics.
