It’s that time of year again! The snow has fallen all around Kootenay Lake. While the water on the Lake does not freeze and boaters can still coast along with their fishing lines i the water, most boats get tucked away or taken away for the winter season.
Regardless, it’s good practise to winterize your boat and keep it in good condition so it’s ready to put in the water next spring. Here is a link with an indepth check list of things to consider.
