Skis, toboggans, sleds, snowshoes... everything is set for some winter fun. The snow is here, and the cold weather (and yes, tonight it is exceptionally cold out there -- clear skies, huge moon, and deep deep cold). That will firm up the trails and the lakes, so it's a good thing.
Brian has about half of our ski trails groomed and track set. There are some that still need more snow before they are really ready for the groomer, but they can be skied without being track set.He set a big figure8 loop through the open fields behind the resort, that is absolutely ideal for getting back on skis for those who need a place to 'find their snow legs'. The fields have a lovely, gentle roll to the terrain, and are interspersed with the tracks of wildlife. From these you can loop off onto several of the trails winding through the forests around Bondi.
He's also set a trail around the resort property itself. In these pictures, you can see him coming back across the lawn, from the lakeside of Beaver cottage, behind Cedars cottage. How convenient is that? You can step out of the cottage directly onto this trail, ski one or more loops around to get yourself warmed up (or wait for your friends to get their gear on!) and then head out for a longer ski!Guests today also hiked up the mountain -- the snow is not so deep that snowshoes are really required, and it was clear and sunny, perfect for a day out! Provided you were dressed for it! Scarves over faces, woolly hats and good boots are the order of the day.
