Groomers Report:
The recent warm weather coupled with rain has erased any hopes of getting back out on the trails this season. All trails are down to dirt.

INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: The Ice Bridge is OPEN. Do ride with caution! As the warmer weather continues the ice will start to spring shifting/thawing. Check with the locals before crossing.

Customs officials are manning the Island offices and have posted regular hours. Before you cross make sure you have the appropriate ID paperwork.

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: All trails are in poor condition.

SNOWSHOEING FANS: Snowshoes are no longer necessary to navigate this network of trails. A study pair of waterproof boots will let you get out and about just fine.

Drummond Island Trail Report – Drummond Island Snow Report – 02/11

SNOWMOBILING FANS:
Updated: 2/11/2011

Base: 2 inches

Snowfall Past 24 hours: 0 inches

Last Grooming: 2/4/2011

Current Trail Conditions: Fair

Groomers Report:
Even though it has been colder lately last weeks the previous warm weather was not kind to the trails particularly on the east end. Some areas are fine but other areas are becoming extremely thin. We need more snow!

There are currently 4 ACTIVE logging areas scattered throughout the trail system. PLEASE ride with caution and watch for logging trucks!

INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: The Ice Bridge is OPEN and active! Customs officials are manning the Island offices and have posted regular hours. Before you cross make sure you have the appropriate ID paperwork.

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: All trails are OPEN! The Rainbow Trail system is groomed on a weekly basis. Base is thin in spots but trails are still fun!

SNOWSHOEING FANS: All trails are open for snowshoeing! Local volunteers have been out on the Heritage Trail system making improvements to the signage and clearing fallen branches. Don’t really need snowshoes at this time to enjoy this trail system. A good pair of snowboots will get you out-and-about just fine.

ICE SKATING FANS: The local rink is open and waiting! Grab your skates, a thermos of hot cocoa and head down to the Townhall. The ice is slick and fast!
