Cross-Country Ski with Tony Goodwin

Join us on Sunday, FEBRUARY 11th at noon on the jackrabbit trail for an afternoon CROSS-COUNTRY ski.

The location has changed due to the weather!

Come ski with Tony Goodwin, an Adirondack skier, and former Adirondack Trail Improvement Society Executive Director.

The "Old Mountain Road" is one of the oldest historic routes in the Adirondacks that is still in use today. We will ski on this portion of the Jackrabbit trail until the time or conditions require us to turn around. It will be a lovely ski through the woods, and will have snow! This will be about 5 miles roundtrip, depending on the conditions. This outing is recommended for those with some background in cross-country skiing; it is a moderate ski. 

WHAT TO BRING: Dress in good winter layers for skiing. We do not provide skis but can recommend places to rent them if needed. Bring your own cup for hot chocolate at the end. 

DIRECTIONS: T​he trailhead is reached by road by turning off NY 73 onto Alstead Hill Road (County Route 40) 0.9 mi up from Keene. Follow Alstead Hill Road past the Bark Eater Inn and to its end 3.9 mi from Keene. Park at the Rock and River parking lot. Carpooling is encouraged. Click here for Google Maps directions.
