Powder Magazine's Adirondack Spread (NY)

This picture is a nice example of the winters in NY if your willing to hike a bit. This spot is about a 2 mile skin thru and up some perfect country. Even tho it feels so remote up there, its only about 7 miles away from the 90 meter ski jumps used in the 1980 and 1932 winter Olympics. 3 miles away from the jumps is the tiny olympic village of Lake Placid, where smack dab in the center of town is the Herb Brooks Rink, famous for housing the 'miracle on ice' where USA beat the Russians in hockey and eventually won gold medals!.. and standing across the rink and past the lake is Whiteface, which held all the Olympic downhill ski races! This area is steeped in alpine history, but is still way way off the radar.
