There will be a XC ski at White Memorial Foundation at noon today, Saturday, January 4th. This should allow time for travel and streets to clear. There is no...
Ralph, I have to agree with Jim on this one. "Local" skiing probably means something different to everybody subscribed to this group. There's no reason, for...
The conditions at White Memorial were good to very good today. Although the new snow was not fluffy powder, is was not heavy wet either. I would not rely on...
This locally arranged trip has space. We'd really like to find four more freindly folk so the trip will run. In the Donner pass area they've had quite a lot of...
Planning to ski Steep Rock in Washington, CT after church today. Not really at trip, per se. Should be at the parking lot around 11:30am. If your there look...
Skied Steep Rock Reservation in Washington, CT for the first time today. There appears to be to different areas at Steep Rock. One is on Route 47, which I...
The Rt. 47 Bee Brook area is also owned by the Steep Rock Assoc., but is generally known as Hidden Valley. You can ski a fairly easy trail for about 6 miles...
Skied the Big Cathedral section of White Memorial Sunday afternoon. Excellent conditions, great temps, had a great time. Looks like it could ice up a little...
I ended up on the upper trail that went through the tunnel. The tunnel was only about 75 feet long, but it was icy and tricky to navigate. On the other side...
You can ski over the tunnel and take a left to take a nice up and down loop trail back to the railroad bed trail. I'm not sure where it goes if you ski through...
OK, so it's not in CT, but Fahnestock is actually closer to my house than any of the other places noted here recently. I skied there for about four solid...
Jim, I wanted to ski Fahnestock some time. It's off the Taconic, right? How many K do they have? Do they offer food service? How long is the drive from I-84...
They have a web site -- just go to Google and type Fahnestock New York. It has a map, trail fees, ski conditions, etc. It says they have a warming hut with...

... Hello: (1) SAT., JAN. 11. (Intermediate) Planning ski trip to White Memorial on Saturday. Meet at 10 AM on East Shore Rd. (around the corner from Sandy...
Fahnestock was icy today. With limited grooming equipment, they will probably need some snow to improve things greatly. Remember to bring lunch on weekdays...
You mean Northfield Mountain not Notchview-- Notchview Reservation is in East Windsor on Rt 9 in the Berkshires. It belongs to the Trustees of Reservations...
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't think Northfield was at a very high elevation. Wrote that post after coming in from a long day of skiing. ... is in...
OK, so it wasn't all that great. Perhaps another 10 passes with the roller would have broken up the ice better. As it was, the trails were littered with...
High puffy clouds streamed across a painfully bright blue sky in Litchfield today. But two consecutive 40-degree-plus days late this week melted the new snow ...
In the Massachsetts hilltowns and further north, we had a some light snow just about ever night the last few days which has freshened up the trails nicely....
Just got home from first outing to Winding Trails in Farmington. Much like the post from BullsBridgeMaintainer, the trails were very icy and the downhills were...
I think "winter wonderland" is the best way to describe it. Their web site listed the conditions as "extremely excellent", and that was no exaggeration!...
