On Saturday morning, most of us had breakfast at the Cliffhanger Cafe in Keene Valley, and then we split up. Three people went downhill skiing at Whiteface Mountain, one snowboarded at Whiteface, one hung out in downtown Lake Placid, and the rest of us x-country skied at the Cascade Ski Touring Center. In the afternoon, Ken and I took the Jackrabbit trail west from Cascade, crossed Route 73 and skied around the golf course on the other side of the road. I estimate that we skied for at least six miles.
We met in Lake Placid for dinner and then four of us drove to Saranac Lake to see the Ice Castle. We returned to Upper Jay in a minor snowstorm.
On Sunday, we split up again. Two people went mountain climbing, three went downhill skiing, and the rest of us x-country skied at Mount Van Hovenberg. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Lake Placid.
When we arose on Monday, it was snowing steadily. We drove with caution to the Northway. By midday, the snow stopped and we were able to resume our normal speed. Everyone returned home safely.
