As of Thursday, it doesn't just look like winter, it feels like winter. While we're still measuring our snow in inches rather than feet like Buffalo, there is skiing to be had, and not just on the Whiteface Highway. Cold weather will continue through Saturday before it starts to warm up on Sunday with rain and temperatures near 50 on Monday, so "ski it while you can."
Mount VanHoevenberg: Open on 15 km of mostly flat terrain but including the Ladies 5km - "experts only". Lodge open, but no services as of yet.
Whiteface Highway: Skiable from the Toll House. Given the winds that accompanied this storm, expect many stretches higher up to be blown clear or nearly so.
Marcy Dam Truck Trail: 3-4" with a thin icy base. Definitely skiable, but there are rocks to dodge. Meadow Lane is blocked off for the winter.
Newcomb Lake Road: The automated sensing equipment in the Huntington Forest indicates 5-6" in Newcomb as well. That definitely makes that road skiable along with the road to Moose Pond. If anyone does ski there, send a report to info@jackrabbittrail.com.
Fish Pond and Hays Brook Truck Trails: With generally more show falling to the west, both are now skiable. As of Thursday afternoon there was 5-6" on the ground in that area with more lake effect snow possible overnight.
