  • WHITEFACE SKI MOUNTAIN on SCHEDULE for 2020 SKI SEASON New Lifts and Snowmaking Improvements Will Be Ready for the 2020-2021 Winter Season
    Date: 7/15/2020 Contact: Elise Ruocco, [email protected], 518.523.1655 WHITEFACE SKI MOUNTAIN ON SCHEDULE FOR 2020 SKI SEASON New Lifts and Snowmaking Improvements Will Be Ready for the 2020-2021 Winter Season Wilmington, NY – The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) begins its summer construction season at Whiteface Mountain with a range of projects that will deliver greater lift capacity, enhanced snowmaking and a more robust online reservation platform. The first phase of the Midstation Lodge will be complete for the start of the 2020 ski season. The lodge will be a terrific spot for skiers and riders to take a break and warm up. It will be welcoming guests back this winter after the historic lodge burned to the ground last November. The old Bear Den lift is being replaced with a new quad lift system that uses a conveyor to make passenger loading easier. The lift is perfect for the beginner and families. It is located next to the Bear Den Lodge and will be completed this fall. The snowmaking system is being improved. New pumps are being installed in the expanded Ausable River Pump House, and on-mountain pipe and snow gun modifications will improve the system’s efficiency. (https://www.whiteface.com/side-trax/whiteface-mountain-upgrades) “Our team is working hard on these projects and getting ready for our guests,” said Aaron Kellett, Whiteface General Manager, “We know that the families who visit Whiteface will experience a world-class mountain that offers something for everyone.” Season passes are currently on sale, with the best prices available until September 2nd, 2020 and includes an assurance program that protects pass purchasers from the unexpected.

Temperatures can fluctuate dramatically between day and night with variances as great as 50°. If you are going out early, bear in mind that it may warm up to 75° or even 80° at mid-day and, likewise, if you go out during the heat of the day, when the sun goes down, the temperature may plummet amazingly fast and you don't want to be caught out on a hike without warm clothes. Dress in layers and keep extras in the car or your knapsack. Most likely the days will be temperate, about 60 – 70 degrees but the nights will be cool, dropping quickly to 30 and 40 degrees. Foliage Season generally begins in early to mid-September and ends in mid-to-late October. Peak color in some areas often coincides with Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Beginning in early September, the Visitors Bureau provides weekly Foliage Reports that are updated on Wednesdays. Color Stage Description Percent Color No Change Still green 0% Just Some but low color Up to 25% Starting change change Mid-Point Moderate but lots of color Up to 50% change Near Peak High, bright color Up to 75% change Peak Color Brilliant, full color 100% Change Past Peak Spotty conditions, Finished dropping The map displayed below indicates the approximate order that Fall Foliage occurs throughout the region and may be at its best in a particular area.

  • Conservation of a Rare Alpine Plant (Prenanthes Boottii) in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change
    Conservation of a rare alpine plant (Prenanthes boottii) in the face of rapid environmental change Kristen Haynes SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry End of Season Report, 2014 Background The northeast alpine zone is one of our region’s rarest biological communities, comprised of a series of habitat islands totaling less than 35 km (figure 1; Capers et al. 2013). These mountaintop communities are hotbeds of local biodiversity, home to a suite of rare and endangered plant and animal species, including regional endemics as well as arctic species at the southern limit of their range. This biodiversity is now threatened by human-imposed environmental changes. Climate change is considered by Sala et al. (2010) to be the most important driver of biodiversity change in alpine ecosystems. Alpine communities are predicted to be highly susceptible to climate change for several reasons. First, high-elevation areas are warming faster than low-elevation areas (Wang et al. 2013). Second, the effects of climate change are predicted to be most severe for communities at climatic extremes, such as alpine communities (Pauli et al. 1996, Sala et al. 2010). Finally, the alpine biome is expected to contract as treelines and lower- elevation species move upward in elevation (Parmesan et al. 2006). There is already some evidence of advancing treelines and invasion of lowland species in the northeast alpine (Harsch et al. 2009; Nancy Slack, pers. comm.). In addition to climate change, northeast alpine species are threatened by high rates of nitrogen deposition and damage due to hiker trampling (Kimball and Weirach 2000). Figure 1.

  • 020809 VLP Nat'l History Tour
    ‘The Natural History Tour is going to take you away ... ’ By LEE MANCHESTER, Lake Placid News, August 9, 2002 Late this spring, a museum so new that it doesn’t yet have a home — the Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, soon to be built in Tupper Lake — came out with an eight-page, color, glossy flier. We immediately dubbed it “The Natural History Tour.” The brochure gave North Country visitors descriptions of 38 spots scattered across the Adirondack Park where they could experience the area’s special geological and ecological history for themselves. I decided to drop in on a couple of the tour stops myself last Thursday. The places I chose were two very different sites: the Silver Lake Bog Preserve, near Au Sable Forks, and Poke-O- Moonshine, south of Keeseville. Silver Lake Bog My trip to Silver Lake started out as all such treks should start: I got lost. I set out last Thursday morning to go from Lake Placid through Saranac Lake to another wetland site in Franklin County, but the directions in the Natural History Tour brochure were so general that I couldn’t find it. I had to continue on to my next site: Silver Lake Bog. The cutoff from Route 3 in Franklin County to Union Falls, the nearest community to Silver Lake, is a no-lane blacktop road through a desolate forest. The road was once the main turnpike from Port Kent to Hopkinton, but that was back in the 1830s, and the road doesn’t look like it’s seen much action since then.

  • Microsoft Word Good Tidings July October 2018 Website
    The Newsletter of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of ADK Good Tidings July – October 2018 "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) Good Tidings July – October 2018 hair Words CA message from Chapter Chair, Christine Barnes COMMUNICATIONS! I would like to clarify how ADK communicates with you. First: The ADK Headquarters in Lake George has your snail mail address and the phone number (that you gave them when you joined) and if you chose to register your e-mail address with them, they have that too. You would then get periodic emails from them about activities, appeals or issues. This is only updated when you tell them to do so. Hurricane cannot change your information for you. Second: Hurricane Chapter gets our ‘snail mail’ mailing labels from ADK. So if your membership lapses, don’t expect to get anything in your snail mail from Hurricane or ADK – except maybe an appeal to re-join. (Please avoid this situation) Third: Hurricane has a ‘newsletter e-mail’ list which Leslie Shipps (our hero!) maintains. This is to get your newsletter electronically – and print it yourself. She adds your name to the list if you send her an e-mail at . [email protected] If you haven’t already done this – please do so unless you really cannot get email. Eventually, we will only send out electronic copies, unless there are special circumstances.
