Ice Conditions Update for Monotype-XV Sailors
Update: 28th January 2025
Dear Monotype-XV Ice Sailors,
We are pleased to report that Arsunda, Sandviken currently has still near-ideal conditions for racing. The ice thickness is between 25-30 cm with no double ice.
A layer of 20 mm wet snow is present on the ice, but it should not significantly affect the quality. Today, we confirmed that the possible racing area spans 3x3 km, which was inspected thoroughly today!
Looking ahead, the weather forecast suggests 9-10 mm of rain tomorrow, followed by a slight dusting of snow and temperatures dipping below freezing, which could help maintain the ice.
Other lakes in Sweden have unfortunately accumulated too much snow for safe racing conditions at the moment. However, similar cold temperatures are expected, which will help keep the ice stable.
A big thank you to our ice spies: Bernhard and TG!
The final decision: We will sail next week on Lake Storsjön as planned.
Think (n)ice!
For depot, trailer park, etc information soon.
