I'm putting a Pacer together and wondering what you guys would recommend for Skis. I think the owner needs at least wheel penetration and too much money for HYD. Skis. Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks
 
Snow and freezing rain here last couple days. I cut firewood and then went for a sled ride, too sore to go flying. Awesome riding.

Island Bobs is ski approved.

Had some time in the cold air today to lay some tracks.

I'm wondering what made that other set of tracks? They seem to have the same spacing as the airplane ski tracks yet it would have been a bit questionable to have been made by a Cub..
 
He has jeeps and a tractor, but no airplanes as far as I know.

Peter, I’m glad you posted the pics of mountain Bobs with the snow on. I have often wondered what it look like in the winter. Rick Papp
 
Hey Rick, Bob is clearing that hill on the north end and a few other spots just so you Ohio fellows will feel right at home
 
Hi name is Adam from northern vt, I’m new to this site and was wondering if anyone has been into some of the Adirondack lakes with skis this year. Looking at flying into Stillwater and limekiln lake to do some trout fishing.
 
Adam, welcome to the site. I just got off the phone with the Norridgewock in Beaver River about the ice on the back pond. There are some tracks but no one knows how thick the ice is. Stillwater Inn webcam shows lots of tracks also. Best luck I've had is to try to find someone selling bait to the ice fisherman to get some info on the ice. It's been plenty cold up their but they got 2' of snow on the ice before it got real cold. I might make a run up tomorrow?
Raquette Lk just told me the ice is not safe yet

I’d like to fly into Norridgewock this year and and stay a couple days. It’s a good central location to explore the area and wet some lines. This is my first year on skis and I’m pretty exited to play around with them. As of now the only off runway landings ive done were on the family farm on Tug Hill
 
Adam, 40M and I passed by Franklin State the other day after having a late breakfast in Enosburg Falls. Is the family farm in Tug Hill available for ski use?

I’m planning on testing some fields in the Champlain Valley before lunch at Desolation.

Tug Hill is over near Watertown and there’s a couple fields flat enough to land on with one of them 1000ft. Up here at franklin co. We have a 2000ft grass runway that isn’t plowed in the winter and I heard some of the bays on Champlain and lakes have 10 inches of ice but haven’t been out to confirm it.
