Still in a holding pattern

1/10/2023

As of Tuesday afternoon, we are looking at an inch or snow on some firm base. ADK's Cascade Welcome Center has opened half their trail to skiing, but the cover is thin with no set track. Areas to the south including Boreas and Newcomb are reported to be quite good, and skied by many over the past weekend.

Looking ahead, we are again expecting some mixed precipitation on Thursday that will grade to rain for a while on Friday. Nothing that will reduce the base we have, but what skiing surfaces will remain is the question. Unfortunately, the longer range predictions for again warm weather next week.

So, get out and ski Wednesday or Thursday, and then just sit back an hope for the best.

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.
