We've had rain lately, but not enough. The Adirondack 90-miler canoe race was this weekend, and there were apparently some concerns about sufficient water levels to run the race.

Took a walk on the biathlon side yesterday. Even though Mt van Ho has a new, state of the art biathlon range, it's kinda sad to see the old one demolished. Maybe @Ripitz can identify this: Some new singletrack: Streams are really low. Last and not least, don't be this person. I...

Technically not camp, since I live here. Ziggy and I like chilling on the cure porch at this time of year.

Walking these days because bad knees. So not covering much ground. But wherever ya go up here, Whiteface looms large.

Not a yard sale: The worst crash I ever had was a slow motion deal on roller skis at Lake Denmark. Like @tirolski , going less than 5 mph. I don't know what caused it. Got my bell rung and contusions and gashes all around one eye socket. Looked like I'd been in a bar fight. If I hadn't...

Whoa. Glad it's not too serious.

Charity Navigator gives the ADK Club its highest rating for accountability and finances. I looked at ADK's most recent IRS form 990 and didn't see anything amiss that a lay person would notice. Presumably, a bank wouldn't have lent them $$ for the purchase if they thought it was unwise. At...

Same as ski jumping, the original extreme sport.

My dad volunteered as an official for USA Luge for many years. He worked many events in Lake Placid and worked the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. He'd cadge a training sled and get some runs in. Not from the top, but from around the halfway point. On both the old track in LP and the Salt...

Best wishes, @Warp daddy

Yes. Does temporary mean for the winter, or for 3 years? There's no information about what improvements are needed. Article in the ADK Daily Enterprise was much the same. The lodge could get a bit crowded, but hey.... that's life.

Sad day for Cascade Ski Center. Curious about what the future holds. @Harvey we should update the nordic ski directory. https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/adk-temporarily-shutters-cascade-welcome-center

It's like they say about Woodstock: if you remember it, you weren't actually there.

Last weekend, we played a private party in Gabriels. In addition to humans, there had to be 2 dozen or more doggos. Dogs running around, playing, having a great time. This little dude just decided to chill with me. PS No snakes were harmed in the construction of my amplifier.

Word. Pro tip: don't leave Tupper Lake with only a quarter tank of gas.

The WSJ piece is paywalled, unfortunately.

Fer cryin' out loud, even Mt van Ho has a snowmaking reservoir. How does the crown jewel downhill bump not have one?

Yep. Leaves coming down because drought. Some of the needles on my pine trees are turning brown too. Something I've not seen before.

Furnace kicked on up here, the last two nights.
