Backcountry/Powder skiing in NY

yea dude...drive ur car around and look for some sick lines

theres this line in my neighborhood that is pretty long and it is a pefrect line through perfectly spaced trees with like a 20 footer in it
 
The Slides off Whiteface in Lake Placid. They are only open late in the season once the snow pack is built up. And Lake Placid area is really far up there.
 
yea, meatheads were filming in ny after that huuuuge storm. maybe with tuckeredout films? not sure
 
snowridge is sick, you have to go all the way to the skiers left of the mtn and it drops into a steep ravine... gnarly shit, 100inchs in like one week
 
I live in the Adirondacks near old forge, and we get a fair amount snow in january and february the deal is you gotta find it its all over and the sick stuff you gotta hike for or go sled forbu t my friends and I always find something fun.
 
well the slides at whiteface can be legit, but i say most of the time: Jay Peak (they got like over 400 in this season i think), stowe, and killy
 
my mountain (Labrador) has a few courses they dont groom, so after snow, if you get there early its untracked
 
well theres always gravel pits, then theres some decent areas for trees if we ever get snow. the bristol area has spots you can drive up to. then theres stuff in the adirondacks, catskills. roadside shit. your not gonna find much shit outside of the woods or with much vertical
 
i have a spot for backcountry jumps across the street from my house, where i built a big booter and a river jump, but i wanna find somewhere with endless pow runs......in NY
 
i got a shitload of pow last year and didnt even think of skiing across where i built that kicker, i wish i did now
 
yup, i think i may look in the summer for hills off of mccauley up north, i live in upstate ny but about 30mins from adks
 
In New York if you're lucky to get snow like we did this year you can find plenty of stuff that's a ball to ski. Pretty much all over the state you can find random roadside lines and ridges that have some great skiing given the right amount of snow...
 
jea baller! The slides are dope but they are almost never open but there is some other godd terrain on the rest f the mountain and at gore there is some on good dayz
 
ive never done it but there are a lot of slides in the high peaks that are skiable.\, but some u have to hike almost 10 miles
 
Yo the Slides is like a couple minute hike at most. What you wanna do after epic snowfall is find a mountain with high power lines. They are clear of trees and big obstacles and make for awesome bc skiing. The Adirondacks are full of them, I go to Union and see them all the time driving around. I'm thinking about finding some good spots for myself when the good snowfall comes in Feb. Power Line bc is legit and easy to spot and hike.
 
Skiing apalachian trail is fun~

Good spot is in Vernon NJ but only if lots of powder (rare now with warm winters, global temp. up is bad!)

Regards,
 
does anyone have the book adirondack slide guide? im thinkin about getting this. it has like 50 slides that you can ski in the winter in the high peaks
 
yeah i have it. its a pretty gnarly book. alot of the slides are hurrendous hikes to get to though
