A great day on the pond at 9,000 ft in Southern Colorado

Postby socoloradopond » Sun Dec 15, 2013 12:16 pm

This is one of our local ponds located near Salida, CO. We can usually have mirror-like black ice by last week of October on this lake! Planning to have a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 pond tourney next November to showcase this rare gem.
