Some snow, some smooth ice and some deep slush conditions on frozen Lake George, NY.  (11" of clear ice.)  My buddy had his CFMoto side-by-side out, too.  I'm not sure of the exact model...

Be safe, be responsible, and have fun!

Since I use the CF500 for ice fishing, I was going to buy some handguards to keep the cold air off my hands when driving.  I was concerned there might be a fitment issue because of the Polaris rear-view mirrors I installed but I never researched it.  It turns out that my ice fishing gear bag, when strapped on the front rack, works perfectly to deflect the cold air and protect my hands when I'm underway.  Lucky break!

It's a great way to haul ice fishing gear around the lake when conditions are good.  We usually fish for yellow perch and/or lake trout.  We caught plenty of perch but, strangely, no lakers that day.
