Taking the Plunge
Alex Strickland/Bigfork Eagle - Participants rush into Flathead Lake on New Year’s Day for the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Woods Bay. The event hosted about 100 plungers who braved 40-degree water and temperatures in the 20’s. For more photos of the event, check out page 2.
The water was warm — compared to the air, when throngs of people jumped into Flathead Lake as part of an annual winter ritual. The Raven Bar & Grill in Woods Bay played host to the craziness again this year. Can someone get me a towel?
