Here is the first choice

Here is the primary location and accomadations.The owner has agreed to a great rate of $35 per person (that is Canadian ).Lake is ideal for freezing early as it averages 7' in depth.Owners have pretty much assured me there will be ice by the third week in Nov.

There is enough accomadations to hold 50-60 people

The Stanley Hotel Roadhouse is just up the road.Best burgers you will ever have.

Spent the afternoon

Spent the afternoon surveying the primary regatta site.White Fish Lake in Nolalu On. it is an awesome location.The Lake is 10 miles long 2 miles wide and situated at high elevation making for good winds.The Windy Pines Resort is breath taking.Beautifull new fully furnished cabins include a hot tub and H.D. flat sceen T.V,Stove fridge..all the luxuries.
There was already a film of ice by shore today.Unfortunatly the high reached 7 Celcious.Keep in touch as the weather here is cooling rapidly.Best bet is 3rd or 4th weekend of November.
