ice auger extension required up north?
Hello all, I'm headed up to slave lake area next weekend and I am wondering how deep the ice is and if I need and extension for my auger.
cheers

Why not take it with you just in case?

I was there last weekend and had about 4" left till the powerhead touched the ice/snow. Had the extension along but didn't need it.

I'd hate to drive all the way from Airdrie up to Slave, and wished I had one. That would suck.
Go get it. You might not need it, but you should have it.

Slave and Utikama did not need an extension as of this week. No harm in bringing one though, I personally hate even getting close to the end of my auger... I don't like getting water on the transmission case and I once had an auger get pinched with the handles pretty much right on the ice... now try and get that free without breaking something!

It's good to take an extension along. These guys were lucky they had theirs along.
