I was cross country skiing this sunday at mosslake ny when I came to the bridge at the outlet. The water was up to the top of the bridge and all the water around it was thin ice. the only way across without getting my skies wet were across the pond about 20 feet out. while I was deciding to cross or go back my 70 pound dog made the decision for me. she wandered to close to the bridge and fell through. I took my skis off not wanting to fall through with my skis on. I laid out and pulled her out by the neck. I go up and took one step towards the shore and I fell through to by belly.There was never any danger becouse I was close to shore but the last half hour to the car was "COLD"! If I had kept my skis on my weight would have been evenly distributed and I wouldn't have fallen through. Something to think about.
While I am at it I should give a trail report. DO not ski the west side of Moss lake. It is all water and you have to carry your skis almost he whole lenth of the lake. It was like this 5 years ago the last time I tried this trail so it wasn't just the warm wheather.
