I'm from upstate NY and try to avoid walking on ice whenever possible. However when i do i like to go with a sort of skating/walking method.

I dont ice fish or anything so I rarely go out on large bodies of ice without skates. When I do its for challanges of who can walk down the stream the longest without falling through the ice. This is most fun in March/April when the loser only makes it about 50 meters or so.
