Week of 3/9 - Warm start, cooler later

3/9/2020

Today, Monday, will be the warmest day of the week with temperatures in the 50s. Only cooling off to the 40s tonight, but then staying in the 40s Tuesday. Tuesday night and every night for the rest of the week will be below freezing, so we will have the "spring conditions" as predicted last week. And given the cold temperatures at night, there won't be any significant loss of snow cover except in exposed areas at lower elevations.

For the coming weekend the highs are now predicted to be right around freezing. Absent any new snow, surfaces will be somewhat hard and fast except at the groomed centers. Lake Placid Loppet now cancelled. Cascade will be in full operation. More complete update Friday, 3/13.

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.
