The trail mileage is the only limit I have ever heard mentioned with regards to expansion. I assume an acreage limit either doesn't exist or WF is not worried about reaching it.


I think the...

I've heard! It's on my list.

yes. Hiking Marcy from the Loj is very easy. It is a signifcant distance from the trailhead. Otherwise, the trail is gentle and virtually a superhighway. Its a little harder from the garden or...

One more observation...

There is no longer a trail from the tree island pod to the summit quad. I hope that the summit quad will be accessible from the new trails. Having to ski down to the base...

A few observations and opinions about the changes made since the 2004 UMP:

1) As Phineas pointed out, a large glade has been proposed for the Tree Island Pod. Judging by the topography of where...

Here are more pictures I took of the slide this fall.

I haven't skied it or been up it in the winter (I'd like to, though).

Colden definitely receives more snow than Whiteface because it is centrally locatated in the High Peaks region. When...

That photo is also of the 1990 Slide on Colden, the same one being skied in the other photograph. Its a fun slide to climb because it is so lengthy and it varies in pitch considerably. Not to...

Correct!

Nope.

Hint:
This slide is popular with skiers.

Cascade? I haven't climbed it since I was a kid so the pics don't help me much.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he isn't running for re-election. In years past he has been fairly supportive of ORDA. Now he has his eyes set on a presidential nomination. ...

I would prefer that as well. WF has more potential at this point than Gore; however, North Creek would benefit tremendously from the interconnect which is the major impetus for this project.

Thanks for the link, Wa. A couple of thoughts:

I am glad they revised the plans a bit and did away with the trails going down the north slope of Burnt Ridge. Those runs would have offered no...

I think Gore would be better off cutting a green trail down to Sunway on the eastern face of Bear. (Though, I'm not sure it is possible with all the cliff bands.) It would help eliminate some of...

Too much vert to hike it!

The radar is showing snow at the mountain as I type!

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.

If the conditions in The Slides are similar to the slides found throughout the High Peaks-- count me out! The North slides on Dix and Bennies Brook have been hairy this season, with inconsistent...

Wait for the weekend. Friday is going to be extremely windy as the temps begin to drop.

Weather.com is calling for highs in the teens on Sat. (if that makes you feel any better).

The forecast Wed-->Fri. has been revised. Not looking good. The forecast had been calling for snow with a minor threat of mixed precip. NOW...

Take a look.

Rain.

Followed by a high of -3...

(please watch the language AdironRider... I'm not offended but I am sure the folks at ORDA won't like it!)


I'm bummed that there aren't any major snow events in the near future. Although, the...

I found some more information regarding the original Whiteface Ski Area in James Burnside's Exploring the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. Originally, runs ran down a northern face of Marble Mountain. ...
