    Drummond Island Trail Report - 12/19

    A few inches of light fluffy snow the last 48 hours, blanketing near a foot of old snow that was topped with a thick ice layer from freezing rain earlier in the week. Forecast calls for a system to come through over the weekend, let's hope we get a foot or more!

    Groomers were out this week, working on getting a good base started. With the freezing rain earlier in the week, we should be off to a "solid" base once we get another good amount of snow.

    SPECIAL NOTICES AND EVENTS:
    New Year's Eve Dinner at Bayside Dining, $70/person
    New Year's Day "Bloody Mary Buffet" at Pins Bar & Grill
