SNOW GAUGE REPORT: EXTRA! EXTRA! The Groomer is out on the trails for the second time in 24 hours! We have updated the Snow Gauge Report to show the accumulation from yesterday’s storm. The snow currently stands at 9 inches on the ground in protected areas, more where it has drifted and less where it was blown off by the wind that came with the snow.
SNOWMOBILING FANS: The Groomer is out and reports he is leaving a nice trail behind him as he works his way over the trail system. The trails will be officially open as soon as he comes in from grooming the entire system. A more complete report of exact conditions will be posted at that time.
INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: The *building* of the ice bridge will not happen until Saturday, January 22nd. Customs will officially open the route on Sunday, January 23rd. Keep watching – you will hear it here first!
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: All trails are OPEN! Yesterday’s storm brought much needed snow. The Rainbow Trail system has been groomed. The fresh snow is exhilarating!
SNOWSHOEING FANS: All trails are open for snowshoeing! It’s GREAT to be a Northerner when the snow is fresh and deep!
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!

SNOW GAUGE REPORT: The snow just keeps settling! With only 3 inches on the ground across most of the Island any and all snow fun has ground to a halt. Snow is in the forecast for the weekend. Do the Snow Dance!
SNOWMOBILING FANS:
INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: Just announced – the *building* of the ice bridge will not happen until Saturday, January 22nd. Customs officials want to make sure the ice is safe to cross on the entire passage before declaring the *Bridge* open. Keep watching – you will hear it here first!
The Snowmobile Trails are still officially closed. The groomers need more snow for a base. Rocks and boulders dot every trail at this time.
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: The Rainbow X-Country Ski Trail needs to be re-groomed. All trails are OPEN for skiiers but not groomed as of this posting. (1/13/2011) Many of the local skiiers have hit the ice – check for ice thickness/safety before you head out, but skiing on the bays of Drummond is as peaceful as it gets.
SNOWSHOEING FANS: All trails are open for snowshoeing. But for the most part, a good pair of snow boots are STILL all you need to get out and enjoy the trails. With the base standing at only 3 inches snowshoes are more cumbersome than helpful.
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!
