NOTICE: Unfortunately, the 2017 Mountaineer Adirondack Backcountry Ski Festival (link) in Keene Valley, NY has been CANCELLED due to the unseasonably warm weather making for no-go conditions on many of the event venues.
There is an in-store clinic still being held, but make sure to check the Mountaineer website or call for details before you come. The silder lining of fickle Northeast weather is the freeze/thaw conditions should make for some great ice climbing conditions so if you are game it's still worth considering a trip.
Save the Date! We just heard a rumor there will be a fundraiser event for the Mount Washington Avalanche Center put on by Friends of Tuckermans Ravine (link) on March 2nd at Allspeed Cyclery in Portland, ME, and another event in the Boston area later in the month. We'll update this post with details as they're available, but it sounds like a fun evening and a few lucky individuals could walk away with some great prizes. With Forest Service budget cuts a real possibility these fundraisers are critical to maintaining the avalanche center and the services and education they provide, so make sure to go if you're in the area!
