Ski season is just around the corner, and over the past couple weeks I checked in with many of the region's cross-country ski areas. My Adirondack Cross-Country Ski Season Preview appears
here, on Adirondack Almanack. If the snow this winter is anywhere near as good as last year, the
backcountry options look great too. Here are some additional resources for trip planning this winter:
- Phil Brown takes a look at new slide routes in the High Peaks created by Tropical Storm Irene in his article New Adirondack Slide Guide on Adirondack Exporer.
- New backcountry ski trails have been created in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness area around North River over the past couple of years. Bill McKibben writes about the new routes here in Adirondack Life.
Also be sure to also check out this
interview with Ron Konowitz, the only person to have skied all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks for some inspiration.
Good summary. The "new" trails around North River are awesome. The bridges are really beautiful. A great area to ski with many, many options. Hope we have a good winter.
