UPDATE 12/5/16: We picked up 3 inches of snow late Sunday night into Monday morning, another move in the right direction! 🙂
The brutally long off-season ends at sundown, Sunday December 4th with the conclusion of big game hunting season for Hamilton and northern Herkimer Counties!
We’ve got some snow the past couple of days amounting to an wind-blown inch here in Indian Lake. From Moose River Plains into the Western Adirondacks, the webcams are showing about 3-6 inches of snow cover.
At any rate, there isn’t really enough snow to give it a rip yet. In fact, the gates to Moose River Plains will be closed until there is enough snow to ride it:
What about Snodeo?
In last week’s video, I thought it was a solid 2 out of 3 likelihood that Old Forge would have “ride-able” snow for Snodeo.
If anything, my confidence is increasing with opportunities galore coming up this week. I’m not sure we’ll have one “biggie” but I suspect that Moose River Plains into the Western Adirondacks will have snow-pack a foot or more deep by Friday.
I have cut a new video highlighting this week’s snow opportunities here:

The Snowarriors report that memberships are down from last year, most likely as the result of last year’s “missing in action” winter.
