Hello there, I'm heading over to Mad River Glen a week from today for the Roll Back the Clock Day, a $3.50 lift ticket. My plan is to ride the lift to the top of Gen. Stark Mt. & tele ski & skin the ~7.5m South to Lincoln Peak & ski down to Sugarbush. Anyone interested? The trail is listed More...

That's great! I was in there as the hurricane prior to Irene passed through; not that bad. Duck Hole was still intact. I'm dying to get back there again to see, first hand, the devastation down stream from the dam. Hopefully it was a slow leak but I doubt it. Would've liked to have been at the...

Dock Hole, then & now! Those pics are amazing! I was in there the hurricane prior to Irene & the dam was still intact. I got stranded for an hour at the launch @ Lower Preston Pond due to a thunder shower, that was the extent of it. I shot a bunch of HD Video on the trip just haven't edited it...

I went into Upper Duck Hole this past summer for daytrip. The trail from Lower Preston Pond to Duck Hole is a mess! I talked to Delbert Jeffery, the Forest Ranger, in the summer of 2010, & he had hoped to get to it this past summer. They got quite a bit done between Henderson & Upper Preston...

I'm thinking of doing the Monroe Skyline soon on tele-skis. I was wanting to ride the lifts up from Sugarbush & ski North to Mad River Glen, Lincoln to Stark. I was bewildered to hear that Sugarbush didn't offer single lift tickets to do this trip. I've read Steve Goodman's account of it in his...

Touche!?!? Hello once again, A good friend of mine just sent me an e mail to bust my..................chops, saying, Well, let me say this about that. I know when Chistmas is, it's next week sometime, right? No, really, what I was interested in is blowdown, beaver activity, stream...

Hello again, :confused: Not much luck with Hoffman, but I'll let you know! Has anyone been on the East Brach of the Sacandaga, from Thirteenth Lake to Route 8? I'd like to know the conditions there as well, s'il vous plait! Thanx, Ken

Hello, Does anyone know the conditions of the Hoffman Notch Trail? :confused:

Hi Y’all, This could be a long story so now’s your chance to bail! At any rate, it all started about five years ago on the first weekend in May. I went to a friend’s White Water Derby party and met a mutual friend & we decided to hike Mount Adams on the Monday. When we reached the summit...

Sorry 'bout that, two mistakes! 1) 4' (+) was supposed to be 4' (max), & 2) macaub was a mispelling of macabre! I'm a lousy speller & I've designed about seven sets of stairs this week, with rise (+) or run (-), I guess it comes with the territory! ;) :rolleyes:

1ADAM12, 1ADAM12 There was 4' (+) of snowpack going up Skylight! I was lucky, I'm of small stature, ~135 -140#'s; I could walk one foot either side of the center of the trail & not posthole. The descent was kinda dicey though! But, one nice thing was that I hiked the entire route in a...

Beautiful view of the slides on Cliff in your avitar as well as the Mac's!

Thank you adkleadog! It seemed to me to be about 22+ miles, I just wasn't sure. I took my sweet time, talked to a lot of people, & took a lot of pictures in the Flume, & it took me 14 hours! There were some other drawbacks; 4' max of snow pack & really dodgey footing! But it was a ball! :D

Thanks Tom, that's what I mean! Boy, it sure seem a lot farther than that!!

Hi there, If I were to leave & return to the Upper Works trailhead & climb Skylight & Gray, how many miles would I have traveled? :confused: NYS mileage signs; confused? You bet I'm amused! Ken
