The year 2020 was filled with unprecedented challenges. Yet, through all we have faced, the Adirondack Park continues to be a safe-haven where millions can turn for refuge and rejuvenation. More importantly, many successes helped further secure the Adirondack Park as a national treasure.

It’s up to all of us to honor the different types of activity that winter in the Adirondacks offers during the relatively brief time we can hope for good snow. The recent information below is provided by the Department of Environmental Conservation relative to the High Peaks Region which serves as a guide to good winter trail etiquette on any trail that is suitable for skiing.

Your support and commitment to the Adirondacks strengthens our collective voice and impact. Please consider a special year-end contribution to help preserve the water, air and wildlands of the Adirondacks. All gifts received by December 31st will be matched 1:1 up to $80,000 by generous advocates for the Adirondack Park.
