Ski Conditions - Brief Update - 2/15/16

2/15/2016

Here we go again folks...another round of weird weather coming our way tonight.   I was just about to post a report about how much fun we had skiing Avalanche Pass Ski Trail yesterday, via the Whales Tail Ski Trail to Marcy Dam, but then I saw the forecast for tonight and tomorrow:

National Weather Service - Forecast for Lake Placid

There is a Winter Weather Advisory in place through Tuesday.  We'll likely get 2-4 inches of accumulation tonight, which would be great if it wasn't followed with a predicted half-inch of ice and then rain showers throughout the day tomorrow.  This is sure to wreak havoc on the ski trails across the region.  Stay tuned for another update tomorrow, once we have a chance to survey the damage.  

Once the storm clears watch for a call for volunteers to clear the inevitable downed trees and branches that will result from this much ice.

Please provide updates more regularly and make them more detailed. In the past, there were detailed trail reports for marcy dam, hayes brook, whiteface landing, etc. Also, the updates this year are very sporadic and are not updated as promised. For example, the last update on 2/15 says stay tuned for an update tomorrow (2/16) afternoon. Seven days later there is still no update...

I agree perry, was in north side of the high peaks over the weekend, there was barely a dusting of snow, did a hike in southern area, mt adams, better possibilities there for skiing
