    An Adirondack Ski Resort Takes Steps to Accommodate an Elusive Little Bird

    I believe it came to the spotlight when they announced they were going to build slopeside condos. That got the peoples panties all bunched up. I believe the UMP only allows for about 7 more miles of trails, ever. The last major change was when they added Drapers drop to attract more ski races.

    1st trip to Maine

    Going to Portland to visit someone. I'm just trying to have a few days outside enjoying what the area has to offer. The people we're visiting are not the outdoor type. They are no help.

    1st trip to Maine

    We're bringing the bicycles for getting around and those are some good ideas so far. I would really like to try and make a day trip to Acadia, but I don't know how that will work out.

    Northville -Placid Trail traffic

    It's not much farther to get in to the Cold river lean tos. They are much nicer, more remote, and will most definitely be empty mid week. You may have plenty of company along long lake, and the views across the lake are of houses, camps, and lots of boaters. Cold river will be more of a...

    Do you talk on a cell phone while hiking?

    My cell is my only phone, because I am never home. I carry it when I hike, on every hike. I usually keep it off, unless I have some type of situation I'm waiting to hear about. My ringer is almost always off. By the wayside, it is also my only camera. So I use it for that too. I enjoy hearing a...

    "albino" or Grey Deer spotted on the way home.

    My bad...I always "herd" they were albino. Cool article. They're still a sight to see while driving.

    "albino" or Grey Deer spotted on the way home.

    There is an entire albino deer herd living behind the fence at the Seneca army depot. They can be seen when you drive by the area. They got trapped in there when the place was built, and bred the gene into an entire herd. It's pretty neat to see.

    Dix from 73 via the slide

    I did the east dix slide on the 18th of this month with a few others. It is no place to test out self arrest capabilities...It was the most frightening yet most exciting winter route I've done. I had the same thoughts later in the day traversing from the Beckhorn over to Dix proper. Lots of ice...
