Signs of spring in the Adirondacks at 1740’ elevation... but don’t be fooled if you are planning to hike in the High Peaks. It’s still winter conditions there with 15 to 30 inches of snow on the ground with much deeper snow in the higher elevations. Snowshoes or skis are still required on all trails.

Be prepared for cold, wet weather and snow.
Carry what is necessary to avoid hypothermia.

High and Middle Elevation Trail Conditions: Trails are covered with deep snow at higher elevations.

Thick ice is present on bedrock summits, steep rocky slopes, and other exposed areas.
Ice may be covered by snow. Carry mountaineering or climbing crampons if you are planning to travel in the higher elevations and use when warranted - trail crampons are ineffective.

Lower Elevation Trail Conditions:
Trails will be covered with packed snow, slush, water, and mud. Snowshoes should be used on all trails with snow depths greater than 8 inches. Trailheads and trails may be icy, especially in the morning.Wear waterproof footwear and carry trail crampons to use when warranted.

Ice on Waterbodies:
Waters are opening and ice is thinning. Water and slush are present below the snow on the surface of the ice. Be sure you know the thickness of the ice under the snow - If you don't know, don't go. Be safe on ice.

Avoid and stay well away from ice:
Over running water
Near inlets & outlet
Near boathouses & docks - especially those with "bubblers" or other ice prevention devices.

Remember, ice that holds snow may not hold the weight of a person or snowmobile.

Mountain Summits: Conditions will be more extreme than those found at the trailhead.
Temperatures will be colder
Winds will be stronger
Ice will be present
Snow will be deeper - much deeper on high elevation summits.

Been out exploring and enjoying some spring backcountry skiing in a couple of “new” areas the past few days. Conditions have made “easy” travel through open woods, marshes and across frozen waters. Saw lots of otter and beaver tracks in these “off the beaten path” excursions. Water fowl has returned to the open waters. Loving all that the spring season offers!!

Spring conditions at Lows Lower Dam on the Bog River. The ice is off the moving waters in our area. We’re looking forward to some early season paddling! It seems the water levels are unusually low for this time of year.

Day 3 of a 3 day package was a snowshoe in the Bog River area near Tupper Lake. It was a mild day on an unbroken trail. The going was pretty good. Our guest had to clean packed snow off the bottom of her snowshoes a few times on the way in. We had a nice packed trail to come out on :-) The Bog River was open in many areas. It was interesting to see how high the water levels were when ice formed during the sub-zero temps we had earlier in the winter.
