President's Week












Following the Valentines Day Noreaster and 3 days of shoveling, we turned our attention back to skiing. The Central Adirondacks scored a direct hit with the storm and we looked forward to getting into some new and old favorite BC areas. We opted to stay off slides with all the recent deep snow, high winds and wind loading coupled with observations of whumping, settling and shooting cracks. It turned out that two favorite rock climbing areas are excellent for BC skiing. Great terrain, good skinning and seclusion are all positives. I doubt that these areas have been skied before, not on the BC skiing scene radar at all. 16 days of skiing in the month of February, all powder days and every run fresh tracks. This brings the total to 28 days for me and 26 for Kate for the season so far.
