More Ridge Fun

Another great day at the Ridge, deep snow all to ourselves.

An exit across the stream gone wrong. Just need to keep up speed to float across....

So close, yet so far ....

Time to scrape the mud and ice off.

Another Pow Day at Snow Ridge

Conditions on the Tug Hill are incredible right now, Kate and I skied the last two days. Several inches have fallen every day for the last week and the snow is deep. Good to see you today JohnF.

Post Thaw Tug Powder

18" new in the past few days thanks to good old lake effect (Parish, under an hour away got 42", Oswego County had a no unnecessary travel state police advisory yesterday.) The woods at the Tug Hill are back post thaw! Still some lurking hazards, boulders look covered but just have light fluff on them for a complementary base grind Bottoms of ravines are still a little blown out for safe skiing but no water showing. The Tug has gotten and is predicated to keep getting a few inches each night and will be prime time again next weekend. Meanwhile 18" out in the woods did not suck today. After skiing the Adks Saturday and the Tug today, the BC is back up and running in NY. Got to love lake effect !

Incredible Day on the Slide!

8"+ of light snow on top over a very stout 2" thick ice layer on top of 2' of crusty snow. Ice layer very slick, almost had to use ice axe and crampons. Kicking steps was difficult. Kate got some good pictures. Blower new snow!!!

Approaching the slide

Difficult climbing conditions but looking good for the down!

Another Great Day at the Ridge

A classic powder day at Snow Ridge. Deep snow and the ravines all to ourselves. It doesn't get any better than this.

With snow this deep, just pick something and jump off it.
