Welcome skiers one and all to the Home Page for the Adirondack Ski Touring Council and the Jackrabbit Trail. Copies of the scanned version of our free paper map (found under "Map" tab) are available at the Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Visitor's Bureaus plus the Mountaineer in Keene Valley, High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid, and Cascade X-C Ski Center. Or use the "More"/ "Contact Us" tab to give us your name and address and we'll mail you one. A Google map is also found under the "More" tab.
In addition to maintaining the Jackrabbit Trail, the Adirondack Ski Touring Council (ASTC) also performs winter maintenance on the Wright Peak, Whales Tail, and Marcy ski trail in the High Peaks. Additionally, ASTC maintains the gentler terrain of the Whiteface Landing and Hays Brook trails.
The Conditions page is updated regularly throughout the season and has developed a reputation for "telling it like it is", whether conditions are good, bad, or as is unfortunately sometimes the case - non-existent.
If you enjoy skiing the trails ASTC maintains or find the Conditions page useful, please consider joining ASTC by clicking the Membership tab.
Finally, if you want to see what we have to offer once the snow melts, check out the Bark Eater Trails Alliance (BETA) web site that shows over 50 miles of mountain bike trails in Wilmington, Lake Placid, and Saranac Lake. http://www.barkeatertrails.org.
While ASTC and BETA have separate web sites, the two organizations are now combined. ASTC/BETA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and donations to the combined organization are fully tax-deductible. ASTC started building trails nearly 30 years ago in 1986, and with the combination of the two organizations we look forward to another 30 years of growing and maintaining local trail systems.
