Driving to NJ for the weekend. So far, the Ho is hanging in there. Sections where the pavement of the rollerski track is showing; places with hella snow. Unsure whether I'll have the motivation to do endless laps on a 2 k loop tho.

Last weekend, national championships happened at Mt van Hoevenberg. I reported on the races for www.nordicinsights.news. Photos from Sunday's race. 40 km in mashed potatoes, uff. Top to bottom: Julia Kern (bib 2) and World Cup Overall champ Jessie Diggins (bib 1) heading up the A climb...

Great interviews with @ThatNYSkier and @snoloco .

@Harvey suffering is funny.

Come on. Take the kiddo out on a black diamond.

Enshittification is proper English. Shittification is not, or might refer to a vacation gone bad.

Windham Club season pass goes to $2000 next season. Uff. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2025/03/27/windham-season-pass-prices/

That Hull's Falls trail is f'n gnarly.

Time slows for objects in motion.... now, if only the trees would move outta my way.

Essex County NY in state of emergency because ice storm. Races delayed at Mt van Ho today. Then 60 degrees and rain on Monday. If van Ho survives, I'll ski on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I live in Saranac Lake. Whiteface reports 4" - 6" of snow, mainly at higher elevations. Last night, I got a couple inches of snow followed by a quarter inch of ice.

This week, I'm reporting on the SuperTour finals for www.nordicinsights.news. Yesterday was the men's and women's sprints. You're safer at a dang NASCAR race than by the top skiers hurtling down this hill millimeters from the V-boards. Second foto: newly crowned men's sprint national champion...

Stowe, Craftsbury, and Jay in VT all getting a couple inches of snow on Saturday. Craftsbury has hung them up fr the season. Trapp Family Lodge hopes to reopen this weekend. Rain on Sunday. Ugh.

Upper part of the mountain might get that. NOAA forecast calls for 1" - 2" in Lake Placid. Wintry mix on Saturday followed by rain and freezing rain. Rain and freezing rain on Sunday. Gonna play havoc with the races at the Ho this weekend. Anyone fancy ski prep and racing 40 km classic...

Today, NOAA forecast was for less than 0.5 inch of snow in the Tri-Lakes. Intermittent snow throughout the day, including a dang whiteout after the SuperTour races finished. Ya don't like the weather? Wait 30 minutes.

The neighbor tapped his 2 maple trees.

ORDA's chances to host 2026 OWG event sliding away. Well played, Adirondack Explorer.

Only the World Cup trails are open at Mt van Ho. The recent thaw took out the 1980 trails, as well as every other nordic ski center nearby. The World Cup trails still have a most excellent base. Teams are trickling in for the SuperTour finals, and there's a palpable stoke in the air. Photo...

I think Paul Smiths VIC is done for the year. Craftsbury cancelled this weekend's races because no snow. That leaves the Ho.

Julia Kern nabs 3d place in a sprint under the lights!
