Here’s the map of recent Search and Rescue incidents. I’d say we had a pretty “safe” season and nobody seriously hurt. Full details after the jump.

DEC WARNS OF AVALANCHE DANGER IN THE ADIRONDACK BACK COUNTRY
March 1st, 2010 · No Comments · News
Visitors Cautioned About Snow Conditions
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation today warned Adirondack back country visitors to be aware of the danger of avalanches. Recent snowstorms have brought a significant amount of new snow to the Adirondack Park. The new snow resting on top of previous accumulations create conditions conducive to avalanches, particularly on steep, open slopes. Back country users should take necessary precautions.
Two skiers triggered an avalanche on Wright Peak on Saturday. Neither of the skiers was injured, but the incident underscores the risk of current conditions.

February is Carnifest Month

Adirondack Winter Carnivals Kick-Off February’s Line-Up of Festivals
I know it kills everyone to look for things to do every weekend. It looks like every corner of the Adirondacks is having some sort of “event” next month. Strange how the suffix “-stock” never made the list.
Given so many to choose from, I thought a map would help. Plus, I threw in a couple bonus Carnifests and a planning chart.
(Large Map)
1. Colton Winterfest 2. Cancelled – Rotary Winter Carnival 3. Lake George Winter Carnival 4. Massena Winter Carnival 5. Canton Winterfest
6. McCauley Mt Winter Carnival 7. Saranac Lake Winter Carnival

10. Indian Lake Winterfest 11. Raquette Lake Winter Carnival
