Recovering from the Meltdown 12/15

12/15/2019

After two warm days, temperatures are expected to drop by this afternoon with snow in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. The forecasts have been improving with now 3-5" expected. This won't get us back to where we were a few weeks ago, but it's a start; and no warm-up in sight so far. In fact, high temperatures on Thursday may only be about 10 degrees, but moderating to the mid 20s for highs by next Saturday. Once the snow has stopped on Tuesday, we'll get out and see what will be possible to ski for the rest of the week and weekend.

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 with 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.
