MONDAY MORNING UPDATE: 
       Thanks for the reports on Gulf Brook Rd. and Fish Pond. Otherwise, Mt. Van Hoevenberg reports much of their Legacy trails (except Porter Mt. Loops) are open along with the lower competition trails. Cascade Welcome Center has about half their system open. Paul Smiths reports 10" of new snow and 10 km groomed with their big groomer. Other trails to be groomed with lighter equipment. No current report from Scotts Cobble, but that golf course terrain should be in good shape. Check later at this link: www.scottscobblenordic.com


The Keene, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake area has picked up 6-8" of beautiful, light powder with snow still falling as of 11 AM. Given that there is no base underneath this new snow, caution is still required on any downhills on any of the somewhat rougher trails. Newcomb Lake Road, Gulf Brook Road to Boreas Ponds, Fish Pond, Hays Brook, and the Lake Road to the Lower Ausable Lake are all fully covered with likely no problems underneath the snow. Marcy Dam Truck Trail, the Whiteface Landing Trail, and any stretch of the Jackrabbit Trail could still have dangers lurking under the snow.  

We'll have a more complete report on Monday after the snow has stopped, but for now, "Ski it While You Can" as the midweek forecast is not so good.

Gulf Brook Road had at least 6 inches of powdery snow. About 3 miles in, my husband started hitting some sticks but I was probably just light enough to avoid them. Trail was unbroken. A great ski. The pulloff was not plowed, though - 4WD needed.

Fish Pond truck trail broken out all the way to Fish Pond. A couple trees down and a few rocks, very thin under the large hemlock, otherwise a beautiful ski.

    ​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.
