ZAMBONI FALLS THROUGH ICE AT KEYSTONE LAKEMarch 10, 2010 A 7,000 pound Zamboni was too heavy for the thin ice at Keystone Lake as the machine and its driver took a dip last night about 6:15. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5 acre pond. The driver of the Zamboni was not injured. Today staff will remove the Zamboni and examine the ice safety. According to spokesperson Ryan Whaley, because the lake is so large some skating areas could reopen immediately. The lake is typically open from 10 am to 9 pm from the middle of December to the end of March. |
