Now that the storms(s) have passed it's definitely wintry, but without any really good skiing to report. A few inches of fluff on an icy base with most open areas blown clear is the summary report. Mt. Van Hoevenberg will open on Friday, 11/29 on limited terrain, but will likely be the best skiing. Whiteface Highway will have cover, but will be icy with long windblown stretches even on the lower sections. Whiteface Club Golf Course is the golf course most likely to be sheltered from the wind and have at least some terrain to slide around on. We had hoped the Marcy Dam Truck Trail might be skiable, but looks as though that needs a bit more snow. Submit a comment if you do find it better than expected. 3" of snow in Newcomb means the Newcomb Lake Road would likely be just barely skiable.
The forecast is for cold temperatures to continue for at least another week with possibly a few more inches on Sunday.
Hiking trails are very icy with traction aids practically mandatory for any of the steeper trails; and be prepared for full winter conditions on the summits.
