Whiteface Conditions

WF website says they will try for next weekend but why bother? Saturday was fair at best, only Sky from the top to Niagara, and Victoria was mixed brown rocks, dirt and snow on the top pitch, Nothing on LWF at all. And there was almost nobody skiing.
Top of sky was socked in at time, the 2" of new actually skied well but pretty icy between piles of it. Of course ball bearing edged rock skis didn't help.

ORDA talks with APA on new amendment to the UMP.
It opens a public comment period.
A link to March 10th APA meeting video and ORDA’s presentations here.

Adirondack Park Agency Live and Archived Media

ORDA’s discussion starts @ 4:06 or so.
Since ski mountaineering is gonna be an Olympic sport in 2026, and may be more exciting than curling, does ORDA consider it a sport yet?

Seems folks commented to the APA bout uphill skiing in the comment period for the UMP amendment.
