Bigger, better ice maze returns

Above: Despite the single digit temperature, Brian, Nate and Anna Baar take advantage of the sunshine, still air and fresh dusting of snow to make a recent late afternoon loop around the groomed trails at Tamarack Nature Center before the sun sets.

Minnesotans know their way around ice — about 775,000 pounds of ice, to be exact. That impressive poundage belongs to this year’s ice palace maze at the Zephyr Theatre, which opens Jan. 15 and runs until Feb. 20. Weather permitting, the ice palace will remain open until the 28th. The Stillwater tradition lives on, but this time with even more ice than last year, totaling in 2,900 blocks of ice. Since this year’s maze is bigger, so is the much anticipated ice slide at the maze’s exit.

At right: Kristin, Joe, Lian and Kate Ceronsky get ready to take off on their skate skis during a recent visit to the expansive nature center located in White Bear Township. Skiers have a choice of three trails, ranging from challenging to easy, that travel through a beautiful prairie, woodland and marsh setting with abundant wildlife.

Stay Safe while enjoying frozen lakes BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Along with winter come snow and cold, essential components of the many wintertime Minnesota activities. Ice anglers flock by the thousands to lakes, along with snowmobilers, skiers, skaters and others.

Some find it hard to wait. Because ice thickness can vary widely on any body of water, venturing out early increases the odds of breaking through. Taking precautions, however, can make that first trip a bit safer. • When possible, stay near shore where water is

shallow. Keep away from creek and river inlets, as well as known springs and beaver lodges. • Bring ice picks for traction in case of unexpected immersion. There are many on the market designed to hang MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES | CONTRIBUTED
