Winter wonderland

Fifteen inches of fresh dry snow at Eagle Beach this morning and it’s still snowing. The road and parking lot have been plowed. The campground road and ski trails have all been rolled to establish is nice base. We’ll set a classic track tomorrow morning....

Campground groomed – soft snow!

Scott groomed the campground for skate skiing and people are already skating on it as of 9:50 a.m. He will set a classic track soon. The snow is SOFT, so please stay to the side if you are walking. This snowfall is a huge gift and it would be nice to keep the groomed...
