wednesday's weather update

1/25/2023

THURSDAY SNOW UPDATE:
        Yes, we picked up at least 4" overnight, so pretty much every popular trail will be skiable for the weekend. Pau Smith's VIC reports that the Jenkins Mt. Backcountry Ski Zone is at last open again. All trails at the VIC are also open with track-setting in progress. Cascade Welcome Center is also fully open, but still no online report for Mt. Van Hoevenberg.  More complete report later today. 


The National Weather Service has predicted 4-8" of new snow by Thursday at noon. Other weather forecast call for a bit more. However, after last week's disappointment with only about 2" in the Lake Placid area after an earlier prediction of 4-8", we'll just say what's predicted, but won't 'count our flakes until they fall....' The Weather Service also indicates that the snow could be mixed with sleet overnight, so it might take a day or so to fully determine what this storm has done regarding ski conditions.

​Nevertheless, even just 4" would bring every popular route except for Marcy and Wright Peak into good condition.  See below for details.

    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.
