New Years Eve Area Trail Reports

Air Temperature; -9.1C
Relative Huidity: 87%
Snow Height: 16cm
Snow Type: light powder on corn or ice
Weather: light snowfall

Queensbury has nice wide skate grooming (no tracks set, relay this morning must have been skating only), the trails on the field are near perfect, in the woods is shortened (no hills), going in is pretty icy but coming out there are some long stretches of perfect wide skate lane!  It will only be better tomorrow after the light snowfall.

Cole's Woods has a nice classic track set, appears not regroomed but with the light snowfall and a solid base it should be nice tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

We picked up 4cm of fresh new snow yesterday.  Surface is powder, with ice underneath.  Crandall and Kensington are groomed, great for the little kids.  Add that to Cole's Woods and Queensbury being groomed and today is an excellent day to enjoy the powder surface, snow temperature won't get above freezing today :-)

Merry Christmas! Trail Report

Air Temperature: -13.1C
Rel. Humidity: 71%
Snow Height: 11cm
Snow Type: icy hardpack
Weather: Sunny

Area trails (thanks for the grooming yesterday! best xmas gift to all)
Cole's Woods - regroomed yesterday, full coverage with minimum icy spots, old classic track still usable, best bet in the area, have fun!
Queensbury - main trails in the woods are not usable, too many big icy patches where water collected and refroze boiler plate hard with skate ruts that'll land you on your butt if you are ever trying to really skate, however the field is groomed for skating and is a nice sugary 2.5km snaking route.
