Hopefully you did not end up in the same condition as these guys.

good one lisa. for this reason I actually carried a small medical kit this weekend in case of falls, as there were some death cookies on some of the descents. but there was no blood. good parts of the trail network were just heavenly for skating i.e. even better than powder.

Sunday morning at Mt.Van Hovenberg may have been the nicest snow I've ever been on, with more to come Tuesday.

Conditions into Marcy Dam on Saturday were great too. Hopefully it was not too warm today and nothing was lost.

Just so people know, the conditions for cross country right now on the ridge are less than ideal. The whitewater however is splendid!!!

TWO FEET of rain in the last 2 months. Wettest summer on record in Albany, with another month to go still!

Yippeee. Keeps the yellow jackets at bay and sets us up for a great autumn with lots of dry rock.
