The ice is right? After two short seasons, the drivers are ready for what is forecast to be a cold and busy winter. But the tragic passing of legendary driver Darrell Ward leaves the community of drivers wondering who can take his place.

The ice road season is off to a bad start. Lisa Kelly finds herself in a real jam after jackknifing her truck deep in the backcountry. Then legendary trucker Alex Debogorski gets more than he bargained for when he falls through a patch of thin ice.

A sudden warm up threatens to derail the ice road season just as it kicks into high gear. Art Burke finds himself battling some of the scariest and slickest roads of his life.

After rising temperatures close the ice roads the drivers are stranded and praying for a freeze. But once a blast of arctic air reopens the ice roads it's time to put the pedal to the metal.

Polar Industries is in for a big payday if they can deliver a huge oversized load hundreds of miles north on the winter roads. Polar owner Mark Koyhaykewych recruits Lisa Kelly to help with this unprecedented load.

A small convoy heads out on the winter roads with a giant oversized load. The treacherous journey over nearly impossible terrain will be the ultimate test of skill for Lisa Kelly and Reno Ward.

The ice roads are at their meanest and slickest when Reno Ward has a disastrous encounter with a speeding pick-up. Then as Lisa Kelly attempts to rescue him her truck is pushed to the breaking point forcing her to leave Reno to fend for himself.

After nonstop wild weather it appears the winter roads want revenge. A big bump in the road takes out Art Burke's radiator and causes a coolant crisis, while a tight turn snags Todd Dewey's rig in a deep snow bank.

A volatile season is winding down and it seems like trouble comes in doubles. Lisa Kelly and Steph Custance barely get by when they team up for safe passage on the icy terrain. Art Burke takes on a two-fer, bringing a split load into the North Country.

The spring thaw is in full melt mode as the drivers get one last lick before the ice roads close for the season. Steph Custance is the first to experience nature's wrath as she slips and slides deep into the trees off a slick road.
