Went from Snowbank to disappointment this year in January.
It is nice because snowbank has the ice fishermen's trails and snowmobile trails to follow (which can make for nice ice highways..or not).
After snowbank you can follow the dog sledding trails.
As far as sketchy, anytime you have a creek / running water, you have to proceed with caution. That being said, use common sense and you 'll cross either route with no issue's (in my humble opinion).
