WF.com says the The Slides are open today! Wish I was there. They stipulate that you need an avalanche beacon and shovel to ski them.

WOW!!!!!

Great News!

And with more snow coming on Saturday, they might be in good shape for spring. I have the week of March 6th off - I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Does anyone know where you can rent the beacons?

I was there yesterday and the slides had been poached, most likely ski patrolers. With the extra 6" I bet theyd be perfect from what I saw yesterday. Bummer I cant rip it up, Ive yet to go in there.

EMS & High Peaks Cyclery in Placid both rent beacons, shovels, probes.
