Ski conditions in Northeast U.S. during January thaw
This January is contending to be the worst in many years for the
Northeast U.S. But skiing is still possible. Here are some current reports from cross-country ski areas in the Northeast: New York Salmon Hills: 30 km open, 20 km groomed, 20 km tracked, 20 km skate lanes. "Skiing is good on wet granular snow. ... For classic skiing you'll need to put on klister wax." Lapland Lake: 46 km open, 34 km groomed, 34 km tracked, 34 km skate lanes. "Surface is power-tilled loose granular over a frozen granular base." Garnet Hill: 40 km open. "Wet powder surface." Verizon/ORDA/Mount Van Hoevenberg (Lake Placid): 10 km open. "Frozen granular." Vermont Prospect Mountain: 40 km open. "Good. Loose granular." Mountain Top: 2 km open. "Loose granular." Mountain Meadows: closed. Blueberry Hill: closed. Sleepy Hollow: closed. Trapp Family Lodge: closed. AIG/Mt. Mansfield/Stowe Mountain Resort: 28 km open. "Conditions are surprisingly good." Craftsbury: 35 km open, 30 km tracked, 35 km skate-groomed. "Loose granular." Bolton Valley: 5 km open. "Wet and diminishing conditions." Hazen's Notch: closed. New Hampshire Jackson: 5 km open, 5 km tracked, 5 km skate-groomed. Great Glen Trails: 1 km open, 1 km tracked, 1 km skate-groomed. Bretton Woods: 10 km open, 10 km skate-groomed. "Loose granular/variable." Waterville Valley: 3 km open, 3 km groomed. "Loose granular." Bear Notch (Bartlett): 15 km open, 15 km skate-groomed. Balsams Wilderness (Dixville Notch): 71 km open, 20 km tracked, 20 km skate-groomed. "Loose granular." Maine Sugarloaf: closed. 10th Mountain (Fort Kent): 18 km open, 18 km groomed, 16 km tracked, 18 km skating. "All open trails still in great shape."

I noticed that Camp Mercier...north of Quebec City (30 min
drive)......reported fine conditions on about 20cm of new snow. Apparently they got some mixed precip a few days ago...followed by a lot of new snow.

Was scheduled to do Lake Placid and when it was rained out, headed up
to Ottawa. Great skiing here...snowed most of the day. The Keski course has great skiing right now....sounds like the best in the East. Doesn't seem to me like Craftsbury is likely to happen, at least on point to point course....??

Got over a foot of snow during the first two days, followed today by beautiful sunny, cold and crisp sunny day with perfectly groomed fresh snow. Winter at its best :-) BarryT |

Things have gotten better during the week.
The ski centers that I listed last weekend as closed (Trapp, Sleepy Hollow, Hazen's Notch, Blueberry Hill, Mountain Meadows, and Sugarloaf) are all open now. In general, more trails are open (e.g., in Jackson, N.H., up from 5 km to 38 km). Lew Lasher Cambridge, Massachusetts and Stowe, Vermont |

In Minneapolis, we woke up to 46 F this morning. The average Jan temp
(high + low)/2, has been about 27 F, and we've had nothing below 0 F. (Very odd.) We had a pretty good Dec (meaning we had some snow), and Jan up until this point was cloudy, so we were keeping a thin layer. Jay Wenner |
