April 4th and the snow & ice have left us. The earliest I have seen. I like to burn brush, notice my “little” bonfires. It is spring clean up. I like to cut wood as well, getting ready for the campfires. Summer is not far off.

Well winter was tame this year and has left really early. We are right now a month ahead of schedule. Easter weekend 20+, sunny and no snow- wow! The ice should be out by the middle of April at the latest. Spring has Sprung.
We ran a snowmobile poker run on March 20th by car, no snow for snowmobiles. Well here are the winners.
It is still white at Sandy Lane but it is changing fast. The toboggan run, cross country skiing is great still but the snowmobiling is fading fast! We still have our poker run this weekend but by any way you can - visit our website www.sandylaneresort.com for all the details.
March Break is here in three days! You can relax on your deck, build snowmen, go ice fishing, visit the sugar bush for maple syrup, bubble in the hot tub, and explore our quaint villages! There is lots to do as we say good bye to winter and hello to spring!
All spring, summer & fall we wait for the snow & cold, so we can ride our sleds. Well it is just great here for riding. We have snow , 2.5 feet and the cold, -20c. So come on up and have the best ride that you have been waiting for. Here are shots of guests just doing that.
What a Blast! Saturday was a great day to have a lot of pond hockey! 7 teams, 2 rinks, and 13games later we had a bunch of happy, tired hockey players and a winner! The Torma team, lead by Captain Tom from Ajax, took home the gold this year! Way to go boys! See you all next year!
*Sandy Lanes website will be updated with a lot more picture from the sucessful pond hockey day!
Here is “super Dave” and his snowmobiling group getting ready for a ride. They went everywhere! Ask them where they have been and they don’t know, but had a great ride and always returned to Sandy Lane.
Here are few shots of the trails by Sandy Lane Resort in Haliburton County. Trails are in good shape for this time of year. I rode up to the tall pines and Algonquin trails. Lots of fun.
What a great time it was, lots of people having fun, great weather to be outdoors, huge bonfire and really neat fireworks, along with all the snow to do our thing.
Well you saw the rink, now you see the “team” that had lots of fun on the rink on Sunday night. Winter is definitely here. Our toboggan run is fast and the cross country skiing is excellent. The snowmobiler’s are starting to arrive. Just lots of fun in the snow.
Hi Gang Started making the rink on Dec 16. First skater on it Dec 20th. It looks really good, been flooding 4 times a day to build up the ice. All winter activities are up and running for Christmas and New Years INCLUDING groomed snowmobile trails.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Joachim, Bev and family!
