Wednesday Update:  As of noon, temperatures have risen into the 40s, which has reduced the golf course skiing, but the other opportunities described below should retain their cover. it will however be fast and icy once the temperatures fall on Thursday night with no guarantee of how much new snow we will pick up. Next update Friday evening.

Not much change in the conditions over the past few days, and it appears the warm up predicted for today, Tuesday, and Wednesday will not significantly reduce the snow we already have on the ground. When it cools off on Thursday, be prepared for some fast, icy surfaces unless the predicted lake effect snow manages to reach as far as the Tri-Lakes and the High Peaks. 
So, ski what has been reported earlier while it is soft, and tune in again on Friday to see what new snow has fallen.  Definitely cold with highs only in the upper 20s on Saturday, so be well prepared for any ventures to the higher summits.  And yes, there is enough snow above the 2,500 to 3,000 foot line where snowshoes are required per regulation in the High Peaks Wilderness and needed for safety and trail condition preservation elsewhere.

    ​Trail Conditions 101

    Trail condition reports are posted frequently during the ski season.  The Adirondack backcountry can be a hard place to predict with weather and trail conditions that often change rapidly.  We can't offer the same detailed descriptions of trail conditions as groomed nordic centers. 

    Always plan ahead for your outing, be prepared with proper clothing, equipment, maps and emergency supplies, and check local weather conditions as well before departing on your trip.

    Maps - don't leave home without them!

    For trails in the High Peaks Wilderness area, we recommend purchasing the High Peaks Adirondack Trail Map from the Adirondack Mountain Club.  

    For trails outside of the High Peaks area, we recommend purchasing the Lake Placid & Saranac Lake Winter Trails Map from Green Goat Maps, which covers the Jackrabbit Ski Trail and other adjacent ski touring opportunities.
