Mt. Marcy, NY × Backcountry Skiing New York's High Point in March
Kicking off a new project to visit each state's high point. This was my first objective, Mt. Marcy in northern New York's Adirondack Mountains.
My day off work in late March lined up perfectly with deep snow and good weather, so I made a push for it. I started in Charlotte, Vermont - my hometown - and took the ferry across Lake Champlain to Essex, N.Y., driving west to Lake Placid and the Van Hoevenberg Trail.
The trip ended up being just over 14 miles, starting at 9:30a, summiting around 1:00p, and finishing at around 3:30p (6 hours total). There was with a clean, packed down track on the way up and good snow coverage throughout, making for a quick journey.
As you'll see in the video ( 7:44 ), conditions can get a bit slick on the last 1/4 mile toward the summit. I would have strapped on crampons after ditching my skis if I had packed them. The ice axe was nice to have.
Next Up: Mt. Arvon, on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

Lake Placid NY Nordic Skiing Nationals
A few highlights from St Olaf Nordics Ski Team's competition at USCSA National Championships in Lake Placid New York.
Northville Placid Trail 2018
New York’s Adirondack Park (6.1 million acres) is the largest state or national park in the United States outside of Alaska. It is only exceeded by the Gates of the Arctic (7.5 million acres) and Wrangell-St. Elias (8.3 million acres). This makes it bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined. The Northville-Placid Trail goes through some of the most remote sections of the park. This video is about Gandalf's 2018 NPT thru-hike adventure.
Corrections:
West Canada Creek LT is incorrectly labeled Spruce Lake LT. There are several Spruce Lake LT's but this is not one of them.
West Canada Creek Bridge is incorrectly labeled Mud Creek Bridge. It is near where W. Canada Creek empties into Mud Lake.
What I labeled South Lake outlet is actually a bridge between Beaver Pond and Cedar Lake.

1980 Winter Olympics
The 1980 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIII Olympic Winter Games, was a multi-sport event which was celebrated from February 14, through February 24, 1980 in Lake Placid, New York, United States of America. This was the second time the Upstate New York village hosted the Games, after 1932. The only other candidate city to bid for the Games was Vancouver-Garibaldi, British Columbia, Canada; which withdrew before the final vote.
The mascot of the Games was Roni, a raccoon. The mask-like rings on a raccoon's face recall the goggles and hats worn by many athletes in winter sports.

Adirondacks - Lower Cascade Lake
Windy as all get-out. Luckily wasn't raining at the moment. The most elementally-intense place on the trip, yet. The valley was glaciated, and seems to channel wind *very* well.
Governor Cuomo Whiteface & Gore Million Dollar Makeovers
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made a trip to Plattsburgh this week to pitch a 20-million-dollar upgrade for the ski centers at Whiteface and Gore Mountains in the Adirondacks, to better compete with luxury resorts in New England, Quebec, and the western United States. Along with improvements to lodges and lifts, the state would build a zipline at Whiteface Mountain and a mountain coaster at Mount Van Hoevenberg to bring in tourists year-round. Cuomo also touted a 38-million-dollar grant that would build a cargo port at the Plattsburgh International Airport.

18. Property Rights and Public Lands Management
Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255)
The lecture centers on public lands management and the effect of property rights on sustainable resource management. Property rights create a complex set of relationships that complicate effective environmental management. Popular conceptions of wilderness also make it difficult to manage public lands sustainably, since people view wilderness as a place of freedom, without regulation. Managing property rights and people's concept of right to wilderness are the central issues facing natural resource managers and public lands managers. As a result, it is important to consider external forces, such as climate change, that influence one's ability to exercise property rights.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (informally referred to as NYSDEC, DEC, EnCon or NYSENCON) is a department of New York state government. The department guides and regulates the conservation, improvement, and protection of New York's natural resources; manages Forest Preserve lands in the Adirondack and Catskill parks, state forest lands, and wildlife management areas; regulates sport fishing, hunting and trapping; and enforces the state's environmental laws and regulations. Its regulations are compiled in Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations. It was founded in 1970, replacing the Conservation Department.NYS DEC had an annual budget of about $1,430 million for FY 2017, and employs roughly 3,000 people across New York State. It manages over four million acres (16,000 km2) of protected state-owned land and another 910,000 acres (3,700 km2) of privately owned land on which it holds conservation easements. The department's activities go beyond land management and environmental enforcement to include the publication of a magazine and a state bird atlas, and the operation of 52 campgrounds in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks.
17. Land Use and Conservation Law: The Adirondack History
Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255)
By reviewing the conservation history of the Adirondack Park, this lecture examines strategies to manage land use and natural resources in protected areas. The Adirondacks has been protected since the 1880s and became a national park in the 1970s. The government manages the park for a variety of uses, including recreational, ecological, and natural resource-related uses. The multiple uses of the park create conflict amongst stakeholders and require regulations that prevent certain types of development. The lecture reviews regulations and zoning ordinances that protect public lands.
