Fun, fun, fun on the Olympic ski trails at Mt. Van Hoevenberg.

The Adirondack Mountains are covered in snow! Tuesday’s Nor’easter dumped 8+ inches of snow here at 2,200 feet outside the Village of Lake Placid, and more, much more, in the high country. Conditions are excellent and made for Adirondack backcountry skiing. My backcountry lite neighborhood excursion earlier this week confirmed skiing in the woods is great.

If you are headed in the backcountry this weekend, note, snowshoes or skis are required in the High Peaks, and are strongly encouraged elsewhere. Please don’t post-hole. The official New York State Department of Environmental Conservation report (see permanent link in right column) notes:
