skiing the Taconics
Not really the place to ask, but.... Has anyone got any info on Snow Depths in the Petersburgh Pass/Mt Raimer area?

My partner hiked in the Southern Taconics last week. He thinks it is unlikely that there is enough snow to ski.

Snowy
It did not get as much snow as other spots did. But enough to make for a good day. The slide was a little icy, however in the trees was good. Sacandaga east branch trail to Siamese Ponds was much better.

From 2 years ago, when the snow was good... this drainage had some pitch to it...

A bit off topic, but has anyone snowshoed any sections AT in N.Y.? I am interested in some sections that would be good for a beginner. Thanks

It's not even an issue of catching a ski under something, bindings are pretty reliable these days...The concern is what do you hit after (or as) you're falling! A buddy of my snapped off his whole elbow hitting a barely covered boulder after a fall.

A beautiful day today...a minimum of 20" on the ground, the top 12 or 14" nice, light, powder. Snowed the whole time, extremely good skiing.
Take a look
