Friday evening update:
Definitely 4" of new snow at Marcy Dam, but still not enough to cover up the rough crust that would make Avalanche Pass skiable. Also, 4" of new snow in Newcomb and great conditions to Camp Santanoni on the Newcomb Lake Rd. Boreas also has good cover, and the parking continues to be plowed. No report on the snow depth at Lake Colden, but since one can't really ski there, an estimate of 16-20" should suffice. Dewey Mt. now says their lower trails are again open with packed powder on an icy base.
On Thursday, we picked up 2-4" of new, light snow. Not enough to make any bare ground skiable, but areas with a base are again skiable. Mt. Van Hoevenberg reports "much improved" with 30 km open and 10 km set track. Cascade also has better conditions on 15 km open with 10 km set track. Hiking trail from ADK Loj not recommended. Truck trail will be better, but the crust underneath will likely be a bit rough and bumpy. Ditto for sections of the Jackrabbit Trail other than the Old Mt. Road. The Keene end suffered significant water damage and will either need another 8-10" or some shoveling to be skiable. Above freezing today, Friday, and still warm on Saturday, but no rain in the forecast as there was earlier in the week. Colder Monday and Tuesday with 70% chance of more snow. Here's hoping....
