No surprise WF is closed today. Snow report said they had a wind gust of 111 mph! And the power was out sometime early am but was back on before 9 am.

Yeah, big wind in the Tri Lakes, NYS Mesonet site in LP shows a wind gust of 76 mph at 5 am! Only 30s and 40s for Gabriels and Tupper sites(so far).

Epic early BC conditions have been excellent but looks like they are about to take a pretty good hit. Looking at the positive side, should create a nice solid base.

Would have helped a lot on the Gondi line if they had run the new LWF lift. Mtn run was excellent yesterday but a pita having to use the Gondi to get to it. But amazing conditions this early in the season!

Wow, the LE machine keeps hitting, Another 3-4 " overnight. Last 2 nights got in 2 excellent full moon(almost) skis in. Only problem is I can't get the deer and coyotes to stop post holing my trails! Don't they know their supposed to wear snowshoes?

driving in a snowstorm with a flat tire. I'm quite sure that would have everything to do with the blowout.

Best early season XC and BC in a long time. LE really makes a difference. And before the first day of Winter(Meteorologistly)

Excellent early season, already have several days in on XC trails. A few bony spots but really good for this early!

coming in from area 51?

Harv, One thing that is kind of cool up here in the north country which you wouldn't see in any metro area. On a clear dark night(not to many this time of year though), go out in an area with an open view and see how many satellites you can spot. There are many more than you would expect. Some...

Another factor in the low tide is the downturn in Canadian visitors. Even in Lake Placid this summer and fall the small number of Canadian vehicles was clearly evident.

I used to run 4 studded snows on dedicated steel rims and dealt w the tpms light on for 5 months but studs only w front wheel drive vehicles. With AWD or 4WD vehicles i went non studded snows and still had to deal w dash lights. The cost of adding tire pressure sensors to the steel rimmed snows...

It was nice to see Tom Watson come out and give an appropriate response.

Fresh young snapper. Obviously just hatched. Saved him/her from traffic. Couldn't decide, Wildlife? Or Todays ride? Combo seems to fit.

Ditto, is that Coney Mtn?

NY Mesonet todays highs, Lake Placid 89, Gabriels 88, Tupper Lake 88. At least it's been cooling down into the mid 50s the last several nights. Looks like the next few won't go below mid 60s though. Still quite tolerable especially after May and half of June with upper 40s and low 50s with rain...

$400 for the Mtn Run chairs and $600. for the LWF Doubles. Said limit of 4 per customer.

If the website is accurate it's too late, says they sold out within hours.

And many areas that have blackout days will have Christmas Week blacked out which I have no problem with, but they don't black you out for the whole week following Presidents day weekend. Orda should seriously consider changing that week or at the very least the weekend following Presidents Day...

Just to nit pick a little, the Temp reading that Saranac Lake likes to take credit for is actually taken at the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear NY, about 7 miles away.
