Nordic Skiing where?
Hey could someone please tell me about crosscountry skiing around the following towns: albany, syracuse, rochester, buffalo? i lived in vermont and as far as i understand, i-87 from the start of adirondacks and untill montreal has about the same climate. i.e. the snow falls in december and stays into late march. and places like Lake Placid are awesome for skiers because they have hills. Montreal has a hill in a park in the center of the city... So i understand Albany is too warm for skiing, but how far of a drive is the nearest good nordic ski center? Is something around Mt Wittenberg good?
Also i am certain everything south of albany sucks, i.e. even if they have "crosscountry ski trails" in the catskills or whatever, you cant really ski there because it's too warm.
But ive never been to western ny, so how does it work there? I understand those 3 towns get a similar amount of snow. I hope it doesnt melt in january like in toronto. but also do any of those towns have hills with groomed trains right inside the city? or whats the shortest drive to get quality trails? thanks!
