Maybe another inch or so

10/26/2024

UPDATE MONDAY MORNING, 10/28:

About 1-1/2" in areas around Lake Placid, and enough on the Whiteface Highway to be skiable from the Toll House - at least through today and maybe through tomorrow. After that, another major warm-up with temperatures near 70 and rain by Thursday. So far, no forecast of any snow returning for next weekend.

Our first brief ski season is now in the rearview mirror, but there was no shortage of skiers enjoying it while the Whiteface Highway was skiable. After a stretch of true Indian Summer (which legend says can't happen until after a "Squaw Winter") we are again looking at cooler temperatures over this final weekend of October. There may be some accumulating snow on Sunday night. If so, don't wait because it warms again after Monday for another shorter warm spell. We'll update on Monday if it appears there is sufficient snow to slide on. Otherwise, we'll just wait and see how much it cools off at the end of next week.

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.
