Happy belated New Years to everyone and we sincerely hope everyone had a great holiday season! For some reason or another I just didn’t seem to get to this and am now trying to catch up.
We were closed for the holiday season and got a chance to enjoy the festivities.  Bryan and Heather were home in December off and on as their schedules would allow with them each having to travel from opposites ends of the country. We were busy shoveling and plowing as Old Man winter has given us the earliest winter in years.  The snowmobile trails are awesome with all the work the club has been doing to get them up to near perfect condition.  The lakes are being well traveled…but as always I will never say they are safe, only that we are confidently out traversing them now. The one concern is the snow load on the roof that has also kept us busy cleaning off all of our buildings!

There have been lots of people up fishing and sledding and over-all enjoying the season that has come so early.  We were up at Anstruther Marina last night and enjoyed an absolutely fabulous dinner in their newly re-designed and completely re-furbished restaurant!  This is a must see and enjoy the food place to go this winter if you get a chance.

It seems crazy but the Toronto Boat Show starts in less than a week for all of those who are sitting waiting for the water to soften (please don’t rush it!).  It runs from Jan. 11-19th and promises to be one of the best ever! As always feel free to call and ask before purchasing that new toy to make sure what looks cool on the showroom floor is what will keep you happy for years to come!

We are now open 7 days a week while the trails are officially open. Our hours are 9-4.

Enjoy your time this week and hmmm would love to say back soon but that will remain to be seen as usual!

Snow, snow, snow!  Its still here and the lakes do have ice on them but they are NOT SAFE!!!!  As far as snowmobiling, machines have been out on the trails but the snow is very light and fluffy and as of this morning, Buckhorn Snowmobile Club is out packing the trails to get them ready for the winter ahead.  It is looking a lot like Winter Wonderland up here and we hope the kids are enjoying their last few days of school before the holidays.

Winter has arrived

Winter has arrived

As you can see, winter has arrived here in the North Country.  The lakes are not frozen yet but some bays have iced over and the snow sure is staying.  Areas around Haliburton got 35cm+ of snow today alone!  We currently have about 6″ of fluffy snow on the ground.  We hope that it will stay and be a white Christmas!  Battling high winds, blowing snow and icy boat launches, we pulled the last boat from Gold lake tonight.  On to snowmobiles we go…Give Sally a call or email to make arrangements to get your winter toys out and ready for whenever conditions allow for their use.

If there is anything that you would like done to put a gift under the tree for family or friends, give us a call or email.  We can do tools, winter or summer toys and even a gift card for your favourite loved one.

14 days until the big guy in the red suit shows up.  Hope everyone is enjoying the season and having a safe and happy winter so far!
