<p>I do it all the time here in Wisconsin. Just fly over the area you intend to land on first. Look for cracks, bulges, slush, old fishing holes, anything that could ruin your day. Otherwise, have fun, it’s a blast.</p>

<p>Be cautious of the wind, it will slide you around on smooth ice. Beware of slush under the snow, it can bury you. Watch out for cracks, it can bend gear and more. Oh, and ice blindness can mess with depth perception. Float pilots familiar with glassy water know about this. All these can ruin your day. My two cents.</p>
