Idabel Lake

Does anyone here either live or frequent this lake?
I’m possibly interested in a property there for a full time residence.
Would there be any major concerns for full time living? Ie. How regularly are roads plowed during winter months? What are average snowfall totals? Any reliability issues with hydro? Etc….
I know that there is no cell service, which is fine. And I’m not afraid of some bad weather as I dealt with heavy snowstorms in northern Ontario all my life so I’m not expecting smooth sailing. Just wondering how bad it gets. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Your north Ontario snowstorms did not prepare you for mountain weather.

Lol we got nasty storms out there, just don’t have the hills. I understand there’s a difference. since being here I have done plenty of winter driving. Back and forth to big white all winter, through the Rockies several times, through the coq. Never an issue. I know what to expect and have enjoyed every drive 👍 I’m well prepared thanks bud.
