I recall whipping shitties growing up in central Wisconsin. Fun times.

Utah shouldn’t be in the lower category. People definitely drive cars and four wheelers out onto Fish Lake when it is frozen over.

Speaking of, I really miss walking on it when frozen and hearing all the fractures in the super thick ice go do-do-do-do as they echo across the lake.
