nice... on my bucket list..we dont get the snow pack any more and it makes it hard to do ..and drive 2 hours to..but I love the area....looks like you had a great ski thanks
What setup do you have? AT? You seem to be going pretty fast downhill for standard XC skis. I've been exploring the 'dacks for years but am pretty clueless as to what backcountry XC setup to get. Thinking an AT setup for here out West (Sierra Nevada and Lassen) but not sure the best way to go when traversing the Adirondacks, particularly outside of the High Peaks (Like in the Siamese Ponds and West Canada Lakes areas). Probably will do head up that way often though, starting with Wright via Whale's Tail. I'd guess that skins are required for anything steep in the High Peaks (like Marcy), so AT may be the way to go up there while backcountry nordic might be fine on flat traverses (thinking like AMR to Lower Ausable...maybe Avalanche Lake from the Loj too?) Would be happy to hear your thoughts but I know lunches with you are being auctioned off for $500 these days...
Sick Video!! Marcy!!! Send it!

Conditions don't look bad on video, often ice just looks white like the rest of the snow.
