Longer notes from the dunes
Pieces that do not fit on a practical page: how dates move, how a season changes a place, how a resort was built over twenty years.
The practical pages of this guide answer what, when and how much. The journal is for the questions around them: why the spa has three opening dates, what a stay is like when the river is frozen, what it took to turn a golf course into a resort. Each piece is dated and keeps to the same rule as the rest of the site: facts come from named sources, and where a source is secondary, the text says so.
- Three dates for one spaNovember 2026, late 2026, early 2027: reading the resort's own announcements in order.
- Winter on the dunesKicksleds, a ski loop from the tenth hole, a warm pool on the roof, and the long prairie night.
- Twenty years of building at WhitecapFrom a golf course in 2005 to a hotel in 2020 and a spa on the way.
- A night under the domeThe Cosmic Dome, the fire and the stories: what the resort's evenings are built around.
