[0:00] In Ardan Hills, Lake Joanna is frozen [0:03] over, drawing ice fishing anglers [0:06] dropping a line. [0:09] But there is another party heading out [0:11] to enjoy the frozen lake. [0:14] This hole being carved out of the ice is [0:16] not for ice fishing. [0:18] >> An activity for everybody who's willing [0:20] to get a little chilly. [0:21] >> We have a perimeter fence set up for [0:23] safety. So, the couple rules are go with [0:25] a buddy and then when you're done, shut [0:27] the gate. It's for the Lake Joanna ice [0:29] dippers. This group meets up weekly to [0:32] take a dip in the frigid lake. [0:36] >> No matter the weather, you [0:37] >> know, I've been out at 15 below. Air [0:39] temperature, the water temperature, you [0:41] know, what 34? Start slowly. Just come [0:44] out. Come out on a Sunday morning at [0:46] 10:00 a.m. There's wonderful people [0:47] here. Everyone will be very encouraging. [0:50] It's not a competition. It's it's all [0:52] about your enjoyment of it. [0:54] >> Good morning, everyone. [0:55] >> Hi. The Lake Joanna Ice Dippers have a [0:58] Facebook group managed by siblings Sarah [1:01] Miller and Nick Tamble. [1:03] >> We started this about 6 years ago and we [1:05] had a spot over there and then um it [1:09] grew quite a bit. [1:10] >> It's been building over years and and [1:12] it's just kind of caught fire. [1:14] >> Just do it. [1:15] >> Yes. [1:16] >> Perfect. [1:16] >> For these brave people, they love the [1:19] benefits of dipping. [1:20] >> It helps my depression. It helps the [1:23] inflammation. It has even helped my [1:27] pmenopause symptoms. I've reduced hot [1:30] flashes from it. There's a plethora of [1:34] things it does. Plus, it's a social [1:37] interaction. I've met some fabulous [1:40] people that I only talk to when I come [1:42] out here and dip for 10 minutes. [1:44] >> The Lake Joanna Ice Dippers are open to [1:47] all. The group invites anyone brave [1:49] enough to try a dip. I didn't realize [1:51] you could do this. And then I learned [1:53] from all these people and then then this [1:55] became normal and it's perfectly fine. [1:58] >> And I feel amazing [2:01] >> and also just looks awesome. I mean, [2:03] you're just jumping into a frozen lake, [2:06] >> you know. Hope everybody does it safely. [2:10] >> Come on, show those guns. Come on. [2:14] >> Yeah. Pray God.
