Snowman on Beauview Dock - Happy New Year

Here's a snowman on the Beauview dock built by Stephen and Carly. They also had a campfire down by the lake, to bring in the new year.

Even though the weather was damp, our guests still had fun outdoors in the snow.

People went skiing and snowshoeing too.

Bragging Rights

People from Australia have a lot to brag about from their visit to Canada.

They can say:
I went Dog sledding in the forest.
I walked and skated on a frozen lake (and didn't fall in!)
I went snow tubing down a hill that was 14 stories high.

Many new first time experiences to tell their friends about when they get home.

Annd ... the same can be shared by the people who live in Southern Ontario

Holiday Week Activities

Not much snow in the GTA to play in. But we have lots in Muskoka!

This week, you can go tobogganing, skating on the lake, snowshoeing, horse drawn sleigh ride, dogsledding, snowtubing, skiing, snowboarding.

Or you can just relax after a hectic time and soak in a personal hot tub!

Our bay is frozen. I don't believe the whole lake is frozen yet... just posted a webcam picture of our ice rink.

Grossbeak birds came to visit

Grossbeak birds came to visit our sumach trees. They are very shy birds ... not like the bold chickadees.

You can't get too close or they are gone!
