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: Ice in the bays appears to be holding up and building with each new cold day. The International Ice Bridge to Canada is still scheduled to go in January 14, 2011. Keep watching here for updates!

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!
