December is looking like real winter

UPDATE 12/4/25:  Snowing on and off all day on Thursday with the temperature dropping all afternoon. Cold on Friday, but warmer over the weekend.  More complete report tomorrow morning after we have assessed the amount of new snow that actually fell. Overall, we expect to be able to report significantly more skiing than last weekend.  Stay tuned.... 

While it does not appear we will benefit greatly from the impending storm , we should pick up 2-3" of new snow which will only help. Furthermore, temperatures will remain in the 20s through this week and the coming weekend so any snow that falls will stay. 
Some specifics:
        1) Whiteface Highway remains fully covered and is good skiing.
        2) There is 8" of settled snow in Newcomb so the Newcomb Lake Road is skiable to Camp Santanoni.
       3) Mt. Van Hoevenberg is open on some of the flatter terrain but it is not clear from their website exactly what is open.
         4) Tupper Lake is reporting over a foot of snow with the Frenette trails at the golf course at least rolled. 
         5) Hays Brook has adequate cover and has been cleared to Grass Pond and as far as the Hays Brook crossing but not yet all the way to the Sheep Meadow.
          6) Fish Pond Truck Trail is also skiable but no report on the major hill two plus miles in.
          7) Still no enough cover for the Marcy Dam Truck Trail to be more than "negotiable" on skis due to rocks on the hills.
