Heading for March Break

March 9th, 2010

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!

Snowmobiling at its best

February 9th, 2010

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.

Pond Hockey Tournament was a Success!

January 26th, 2010

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!

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.

Well here it is 50 cm of snow on top of what we had on the ground. The local snowmobile club has started to pack the trails. With a bit of luck all winter activities should be open for the Christmas holidays.  I start making the ice rink on Dec 16th. Hurrah!
