Powder and smiles for Theresa's Tour, 2017
Picture
Each year long-time friends of the Jackrabbit Ski Trail get together to pay homage to Theresa Klauck.  Before her unexpected death in 2001, Theresa was a dedicated volunteer on the Jackrabbit, and served on the Adirondack Ski Touring Council's Board of Directors from 1992 to 1994.  The bridge just north of Craig Wood was constructed and dedicated in her honor.  ​

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Lake Placid


We hope you'll join us at the 26th Annual "Ski-to-Swim" Party, a family-friendly FUN-raiser for Barkeater Trails Alliance.  Join a late morning ski tour on the Jackrabbit Ski Trail and finish at the Crowne Plaza in Lake Placid.  Or simply come for the swimming in the afternoon.  

As always the pool party features food from local restaurants, hot & cold beverages, door prizes, socializing with fellow ski nuts, and of course swimming and hot-tubbing. 

Thanks to the Lussi family and the Crowne Plaza for making their pool available for this event. We hope to see you there!

Ski Tours
  • Theresa's Tour (6.5 miles) - CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN/ICY CONDITIONS
    The classic pool party approach.  Start at Cascade XC Center, ski the Jackrabbit through Craig Wood and stop to pay homage to Theresa Klauck (see photo at left).  Enjoy a thrilling descent to River Rd and then travel on to the Lake Placid Club.  Finish with a short walk through the village to the Crowne Plaza.  Leave a car at River Rd if you don't want to ski the whole way.  Skiers are responsible for their own transportation
  • McKenzie Pass Tour (10 miles) - CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN/ICY CONDITIONS
    Perhaps the best skiing to be found on the Jackrabbit.  Start in Saranac Lake at NCCC, ski through the pines and out to the pond, then test your herring bone technique on the long climb up the pass.  Kick and glide your way down to Whiteface Inn Road and then connect the dots through the golf course and the village, and finish at the front door of the Crowne Plaza.
  • Peninsula Easy Tour (1-2 miles) - CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN/ICY CONDITIONS
    SELF GUIDED OPTION
    A shorter and easier park & ski option, great for families with younger kids or those pressed for time.  Start behind Simply Gourmet in Lake Placid and tour around the Peninsula Trails on the shores of Lake Placid.
