March 2nd Snow Report

We are still offering snowshoeing tours with very good conditions. We have however moved tours back to our secret snow stash on the north slopes near Cranesville (10-15 minutes past Swallow Falls). There is still 1-2ft. of snow pack despite the the big thaw. In fact as the days progress you probably will see no snow around the lake but we will still have great snowshoeing at our snow stash. Stay tuned for snow and tour updates.

We are predicting at least being able to offer tours through the third week of March. If we get some snow? Who knows – maybe into April.

Cold nights will preserve the base for quite awhile and no big thaws with rain are around the corner.

February 9th Snowshoeing Report

The winter just keeps getting better. Snow depths are appraoching 24 inches which is opening up a lot of rugged backcountry that is normally inaccessible. This includes what we call the Primal Forest. Extended weather forecasts are calling for more winter and snow. If cold continues we expect to be accessing the Swallow Falls Natural Area which has been isolated for many years because of the bridge washing over the falls.

Winter storm watch this week, possibly another 8 inches. Trips are available midweek and on weekends.

February 3rd Snowshoeing Reports

We are back at Swallow Falls State Park and the conditions are superb. As usual the location is providing some of the finest forest and river scenery found anywhere in the world. The old growth hemlocks and proximity to the sub arctic ecology in Cranesville creates a special environment now loaded with snow.

Winter appears to be holding strong with the Ground Hog coming through for us with his prediction of 6 more weeks of winter!. Snowy March? Possibly. Sometimes March has THE MOST SNOW!!!!

Don’t miss out on this so far epic year of snowshoeing. It’s been 4 years since winter as really kicked in and hung around. Base is deepening so it should hold for even some spring snowshoeing? We shall see.
