RACE. ROOST/WHITEFACEREGION.COM<br />
The ground changes from brown to green, and the weather<br />
gets warm enough to be able to ride without getting dressed<br />
for the North Pole. It’s spring, finally! Spring events are happening,<br />
legs are slowly waking up and getting stronger, and you’re<br />
thinking ahead to riding with friends, enjoying good times, riding<br />
new events, or revisiting memories of great rides taken at past<br />
events by doing them again.<br />
We know exactly how you feel! We can’t pump up those tires for<br />
you, but we can let you know about all these great upstate events that<br />
will help you make this your best season of cycling in a long time!<br />
First up on Saturday, June 3 is the Whiteface Mountain Uphill<br />
Bike Race that could definitely be described as a challenge. Break<br />
out your climbing legs and pedal eight miles up with an average<br />
grade of 8% to the top of the Veteran’s Memorial Highway for some<br />
spectacular 360-degree views while you get your breath back.<br />
Whiteface is New York’s fifth highest peak and you can see all the<br />
way to Montreal! The race starts at 5:30pm, so there will also be<br />
some late day sunset vibes, plus fruits, snacks, and beverages at<br />
the finish line. All participants get a T-shirt and bragging rights.<br />
Remember, “It ain’t bragging if you’ve really done it!” Visit: whitefacerace.com/bike.<br />
The very next day on Sunday, June 4, also in the Whiteface<br />
region, is the Wilmington Whiteface 100K & 50K Mountain Bike<br />
Race. The courses feature a mix of rugged backcountry roads,<br />
stretches of flowing and smooth singletrack, and plenty of climbing<br />
on the 62- and 31-mile routes. You’ll be able to explore Jeep roads<br />
near Jay and Saddleback mountains, along with technical stretches<br />
of singletrack at Hardy Road Trails, Blueberry Hills trails, and<br />
Flume Trail Mountain, with rest stops every 12 miles, a post-race<br />
meal, finisher medal, and an athlete gift. Go to: bikereg.com.<br />
Also on June 4, if you’re not quite up to climbing a mountain,<br />
you can contribute to supporting the 29 million Americans who<br />
live with diabetes by riding in the Tour de Cure: Capital Region<br />
at the Ellms Family Farm in Ballston Spa. This longstanding area<br />
event, organized by the American Diabetes Association, offers 10-,<br />
30-, 62-, and 100-mile routes with full support along the roads with<br />
bike mechanics, volunteer route marshals, rest stops with food and<br />
water, cheering volunteers and more. It’s a great way to have a good<br />
time while helping others. Check out: diabetes.org/capitalregion.<br />

News Briefs<br />
PTNY Celebrates<br />
and Continues Robin<br />
Dropkin’s Legacy<br />
By Jeffrey Bender, Board Chair, PTNY<br />
Last year saw some truly amazing wins for New York’s<br />
parks, trails, and public lands, not to mention for the<br />
communities and groups that love and advocate<br />
for them. In a bittersweet note, early <strong>2023</strong> also saw<br />
the loss of a decades-long architect of those wins – long-time Parks & Trails New York<br />
Executive Director Robin Dropkin.<br />
Robin’s tireless work led to many of the phenomenal improvements and expansions<br />
of New York’s public green spaces – things we now may take for granted as staples but<br />
were anything but when Robin joined PTNY as executive director in 1990. It’s hard to<br />
fathom the hole created by her loss, but its ripples will be felt for a long time in the world<br />
of green space advocacy. Her legacy is etched across the face of the entire state: from<br />
the Empire State Trail (built on the back of PTNY’s “Close the Gaps” Erie Canalway Trail<br />
Campaign), to grants supporting public lands and grassroots friends groups (piloted<br />
by PTNY in 2014 and now funded through the Environmental Protection Fund), and<br />
the many parks still open due to her tenacity in launching the Save Our State Parks<br />
Campaign in 2010.<br />
The outpouring of remembrances after Robin’s passing in early <strong>2023</strong> has been a testament<br />
to her impact on our greenways, state parks, the PTNY staff and board, and all<br />
New Yorkers who visit our public green spaces for joy, adventure, connectivity or solace.<br />
While there is certainly grieving at her loss, Robin would have wanted us to – above<br />
all – continue our critical work. As we approach the Centennial Year of our NYS Parks<br />
System in 2024, PTNY is celebrating the monumental $4.2 million Environmental Bond<br />
Act passed in 2022, and the continued deep investment in our public lands expected for<br />
the fiscal-year 2024 NYS Budget. This is just the beginning, though.<br />
Channeling Robin’s commitment to building a truly connected network of greenways<br />
and parks – accessible to all New Yorkers – will be the clarion call for the next 100 years of<br />
our state parks system... and for the legacy of green space we leave the next generations<br />
far into the future.<br />
While Robin is missed, it is a solace to know that whenever we step into a NYS park,<br />
or onto one of our many trails and greenways, we are connected to her life’s work. We<br />
are grateful to continue her critical and impactful work for the future of our public green<br />
spaces, and the New Yorkers who use and love them.<br />

Gwen Allard Inducted Into<br />
Hall of Fame Class of 2022<br />
APRIL <strong>2023</strong> 5<br />
ISHPEMING, MICH. – Gwen Allard, a pioneering snowsports<br />
educator, spent a half century focusing on helping<br />
others learn how to ski, with a particular focus on adaptive<br />
skiing. She was one of the first to embrace adaptive<br />
education and went on to become a well-respected leader<br />
within the Professional Ski Instructors of America and<br />
American Association of Snowboard Instructors for her<br />
innovative teaching methodology and the ability to effectively<br />
communicate it to students. Along the way, she was<br />
a model of perseverance in rallying the entire ski industry<br />
around adaptive sport.<br />
Gwen Allard was born in 1937 and currently lives in<br />
Mendon, Vt. Growing up in Schenectady, she gained an early passion for the outdoors<br />
from her father. She was influenced early on by Frederica Anderson, a female role model<br />
who taught skiing at nearby Maple Ski Ridge for over a half-century. In 1964, Frederica<br />
invited Gwen to start teaching herself, igniting a lifelong passion. By the ‘70s, Gwen began<br />
to focus her interest more towards adaptive, seeking mentorship from Bruce Gavett,<br />
an early pioneer in the field. In the mid-70s she founded the Gore Mountain Adaptive<br />
Program, one of the earlier adaptive-specific programs in the country.<br />
As she began her engagement with adaptive sport, she realized that the development<br />
of standardized, professional teaching methods was vital. She carried that<br />
vision across her entire career. After earning her PSIA Level 3 in 1974, she then went<br />
on to become executive director of PSIA-Eastern in 1975, where she also founded the<br />
PSIA-E Foundation.<br />
Her lifetime of methodic educational protocols came to the fore with the passage of<br />
the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. With her knowledge, she was able to provide<br />
strong counsel to the teaching and resort industry on how to best manage new protocols<br />
to truly provide a great experience for adaptive snowsports enthusiasts.<br />
In an era when risk awareness was growing, collaborated with Werner Schuster to<br />
develop the first significant safety manual for the National Ski Areas Association. As environmental<br />
awareness was becoming more predominant within the industry, she brought<br />
together leaders from PSIA, National Ski Patrol, Snowsports Industries America and the<br />
Adaptive <strong>Sports</strong> Foundation to develop educational materials.<br />
One of her most noted accomplishments was development of the Adaptive <strong>Sports</strong><br />
Foundation at Ski Windham (now Windham Mountain). Starting with a fledgling program<br />
in 1983, she grew it to become an epicenter for adaptive sport. In 2005, the foundation<br />
opened the Gwen Allard Adaptive <strong>Sports</strong> Center which continued to grow and now<br />
features its own chairlift.<br />
In the 1980s, she also began working with Disabled <strong>Sports</strong> USA (now Move United),<br />
leading to PSIA/AASI recognition of adaptive sport. By 1987, PSIA/AASI and its divisions<br />
were training and certifying adaptive teachers.<br />
One of Gwen’s crowning achievements was the innovation of the Double H Ranch<br />
in Lake Luzerne. She had been invited in 1997 by ranch visionaries Charlie Woods and<br />
Paul Newman to investigate how they might make use of an abandoned ski area on their<br />
property. Calling on her industry network, Gwen generated hundreds of thousands of<br />
dollars in donated equipment, put together a staff and volunteer team to make the ranch<br />
a thriving success for adaptive sport, opening in 1998.<br />
Double H Ranch was the proving ground for a PSIA-AASI program that ultimately<br />
reached 70 organizations nationwide impacting over 10,000 adaptive instructors and<br />
20,000 adaptive students. To further showcase the advancements in adaptive education<br />
in America, Gwen pushed for the addition of an adaptive skier onto the U.S. Demo Team<br />
for the 1991 Interski Congress held in St. Anton, Austria. Diana Golden, who would go<br />
on to become a Hall of Famer, wowed the audience and set the stage for adaptive participants<br />
on future Interski teams.<br />
In recognition of her contributions to the adaptive community in NY, Gwen was<br />
honored by President George W. Bush, Governor George Pataki, and Mayor Michael<br />
Bloomberg. Disabled <strong>Sports</strong> USA in 1999 honored her with its Jim Winthers Award for<br />
volunteerism. In 2001 she was named to the Adaptive <strong>Sports</strong> Hall of Fame. A year later,<br />
she was recognized by PSIA-AASI with its Educational Excellence Award, one of its highest<br />
honors. Visit: skihall.com.<br />
Lapland Lake XC Ski & Vacation Center for Sale<br />
NORTHVILLE – A decade ago, Paul and Kathy Zahray<br />
learned that their favorite vacation resort was for sale.<br />
Life should be an adventure, and in December 2014 they<br />
purchased Lapland Lake.<br />
Paul and Kathy say operating Lapland Lake has been<br />
a bit more challenging, and much more rewarding, than<br />
they expected. Their favorite part is the strong and consistent<br />
support we get from our customers, staff, volunteers, neighbors, and local community.<br />
Knowing the transition process may take some time, they have decided to list the<br />
resort for sale with an experienced business broker, Rick Roberts of Inglenook Realty.<br />
Their hope is to find new owners who will operate Lapland Lake with passion and<br />
energy, making improvements while preserving the character that makes Lapland Lake a<br />
special place for so many. If this might be you, their broker can help you understand the<br />
financial aspects of ownership. Paul and Kathy are willing to talk directly with potential<br />
new owners about the skills and responsibilities involved. They are available to work with<br />
new owners during a transition, and if requested might continue with some responsibilities<br />
for a longer time.<br />
The Zahrays are not planning to leave the area. They plan to enjoy the ski trails in<br />
winter and the lake in the summer. Visit: laplandlake.com.

Also on <strong>April</strong> 22, the Glens Falls Rotary<br />
Community Wellness 5K Run/Walk will be<br />
back at SUNY <strong>Adirondack</strong> in Queensbury on<br />
a new course. The event starts at the traffic<br />
circle near the main campus center and<br />
finishes on campus. Your race participation<br />
benefits three community non-profits:<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> Vets House for homeless and<br />
at-risk veterans, Tri-County Literacy, and<br />
Charles R. Wood Theater. Check out: itsyourrace.com.<br />
The following weekend, on Sunday, <strong>April</strong><br />
30, the seventh annual Sasha’s Superhero<br />
Run to Help Ukraine is a 5K Run/Walk,<br />
starting at Halfmoon Town Park and on<br />
adjacent country roads. There are also Kids’<br />
Fun Runs. The family-friendly race was organized<br />
by the family and friends of Sasha,<br />
who passed away unexpectedly as a baby on<br />
Christmas Eve in 2016. The superhero theme<br />
of the event was adopted to honor parents<br />
whose babies and children passed before<br />
their time, as it takes superhuman strengths<br />
to go on after a child dies.<br />
Sasha’s family is Ukrainian so when the<br />
illegal invasion of Ukraine began in 2022,<br />
the fundraising turned to helping Ukrainian<br />
children affected by the war. In 2022, $42,300<br />
was raised and distributed among children’s<br />
hospitals in Kyiv and Sumy, charities helping<br />
families of seriously injured children, volunteers<br />
feeding displaced pets, and direct<br />
contributions to 14 families with kids fleeing<br />
the war. This year the race will continue<br />
to raise funds to aid Ukrainian children, as<br />
well as towards portable power stations for<br />
Ukrainian civilians and military.<br />
Children and adults are encouraged to<br />
wear their favorite superhero costumes.<br />
Teams and groups are welcome. Raffles,<br />
vendors, and a memorial ceremony to honor<br />
lost children are part of the event. Visit:<br />
sashasrun.com.<br />
Also on <strong>April</strong> 30, celebrate the finale of<br />
Autism Acceptance Month at the Hero 5K for<br />
Autism at Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady.<br />
The Autism Society Greater Hudson River<br />

It’s a great way to celebrate springtime in<br />
the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s and support the health<br />
and well-being of the community. The<br />
Doc Lopez Run for Health is “a race for the<br />
hardy,” requiring half marathoners to climb<br />
the challenging Spruce Hill between Keene<br />
Valley and Elizabethtown. The new 5K trail<br />
loop along the Cobble Hill Golf Course is<br />
mostly flat and fast so it’s very welcoming to<br />
all runners and walkers.<br />
Dr. Robert “Doc” Lopez, a veterinarian<br />
and accomplished runner, started a special<br />
tradition when he carried the torch for the<br />
1980 Winter Olympics through Westport<br />
and Elizabethtown. Running up and over<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> “hills” became the foundation<br />
for a beloved, local <strong>Adirondack</strong> running<br />
event, the Doc Lopez Run for Health. Today,<br />
his daughter, Sue, carries on the tradition<br />
as race director. Though the race route and<br />
charity have changed since it was first held<br />
in 1980, the event has always been about<br />
inspiring people to get outdoors and run<br />
for a good cause. Check out: ech.org/doclopez-run.<br />
On Saturday, May 6, the Joan Nicole<br />
Prince Home “Still Human” 5K Run &<br />
1-Mile Walk at Schenectady’s Central Park,<br />
supports those most in need at the end of<br />
life at the Joan Nicole Prince Home in Scotia.<br />
All proceeds benefit the care residence for<br />
terminally ill patients in need of a home in<br />
their final days at no charge. Register to run/<br />
walk or simply to support their very worthy<br />
services. Visit: joannicoleprincehome.org.<br />
Also, on Saturday, the 16th annual CCRC<br />
5K Run/Walk & BBQ in Clifton Park runs on<br />
a relatively flat quiet neighborhood course,<br />
around Clifton Commons, and back. This<br />
3pm event has a convenient afternoon start.<br />
It promotes well-being and healthy lifestyles<br />
in the community with a USATF sanctioned<br />
5K race, two-person family team competition,<br />
and 1K Kids’ Race at 4pm. Immediately<br />
following, there’s an included BBQ chicken<br />
dinner, plus a huge prize drawing for all.<br />
It’s chip-timed by Underdog Race timing<br />

Paddlesport Racing<br />
Try This Exciting, Low-Impact Sport<br />
By Ed Greiner<br />
When the subject of canoe and kayak racing comes up<br />
in casual conversation, the usual response is, “You’re<br />
kidding. You actually race those things?” The incredulity is<br />
common.<br />
Some people get involved with paddlesport racing in a<br />
logical manner. They start with a short, fun race after having<br />
had some instruction in technique and gear. Others jump in<br />
blindly, starting with an ultramarathon, and no idea what<br />
they are in for. The latter way was mine.<br />
Many years ago, a coworker asked if I wanted to be his<br />
partner in the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Canoe Classic, the 90-miler, threeday<br />
event that crosses the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Park from Old Forge<br />
to Saranac Lake. After being egged on by a third coworker, I<br />
agreed. The rest, as they say, is history.<br />
Paddlesport racing in upstate New York has opportunities<br />
for nearly everyone. There are race classes for canoes, kayaks,<br />
stand-up paddleboards, and guideboats. There are also<br />
divisions within those classes for hulls of different length,<br />
shape and weight, as well as age and gender divisions for the<br />
paddlers. Paddling is an excellent choice for those looking for<br />
a low impact, aerobic sport, and the participants are a very<br />
welcoming and supportive group. They encourage and cheer<br />
for all levels of participants from novices to old pros.<br />
Canoes used to be the most popular craft to race, but<br />
kayaks have become more numerous in recent years. SUPs<br />
are seen at some races and organizers are encouraging their<br />
inclusion at all venues. They are more popular to race in other<br />
regions. I have heard of as many as 150 SUPs in one race in<br />
Maryland.<br />
Here in northeastern New York, there are three regional<br />
organizations dedicated to racing in the sport.<br />
■ St. Lawrence Valley Paddlers, headquartered in Canton:<br />
slvpaddlers.org.<br />
■ Northern New York Paddlers (part of Schenectady<br />
Wintersports Club), in the Capital-Saratoga Region:<br />
swcweb.org.<br />
■ Northern Forest Canoe Trail, covering the <strong>Adirondack</strong><br />
region and more: northernforestcanoetrail.org.<br />
The New York Paddlesports Racing Association sets standards<br />
for boat types, classes and age groups. NYPRA also<br />
compiles the race calendar for the entire state: nypra.org.<br />
St. Lawrence Valley Paddlers’ two biggest events are the<br />
Canton Canoe Weekend and the Madrid Canoe Regatta. The<br />
61st annual Canton Canoe Weekend is on May 5-7 this year,<br />
which draws as many as 300 paddlers to the Grasse and Little<br />
rivers, including some of the best racers in North America.<br />
For Canton, visit: cantoncanoeweekend.org. The Madrid<br />
Canoe Regatta is on June 10-11 on the Grasse River. Both<br />
events are based in St. Lawrence County and offer recreational,<br />
amateur and pro races. For Madrid, go to: slvpaddlers.org.<br />
Northern New York Paddler’s races are all held on the<br />
Mohawk River/Erie Canal. The race season starts with the<br />
Towpath Regatta on Thursday, June 15. It starts and finishes<br />
at Gateway Landing, on the ramp to SUNY Schenectady. It is<br />
a fun 4.5-mile race starting at 6:30pm. Registration begins at<br />
5:30pm and there’s no entry fee.<br />
NNYP’s second race is the Electric City Regatta which will<br />
take place on Saturday, July 8 at Erie Canalway’s Lock 9 in<br />
Glenville. The premier event is an 11-mile race. There will also<br />
be a three-mile recreational race and a one-mile fun race/<br />
paddle. Registration is from 8:30-9:45am. The first boat start<br />
is 10am. The registration fee is $25 for adults and $5 for youth<br />
paddlers. The next day, July 9, is the Barge Chaser at Kiwanis<br />
Park in Rotterdam. Once again, there will be a three-mile recreational<br />
race/paddle and a 10-mile event for more experienced<br />
paddlers. Registration is from 9-9:45am. The race starts<br />

all of NNYP’s races, online preregistration is encouraged. For<br />
the schedule and registration, visit: nypra.org.<br />
The Northern Forest Canoe Trail organization took over<br />
much of the paddlesport racing scene in the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s a<br />
few years ago. Their racing season, which includes canoes,<br />
kayaks, SUPs and guideboats, starts with ‘Round the<br />
Mountain at Lower Saranac Lake on Saturday, May 13, which<br />
is the unofficial kickoff event of the <strong>Adirondack</strong> paddling<br />
season. The finish line is on Lake Flower in Saranac Lake so<br />
racers are encouraged to do a pre-race car shuttle. Paddlers<br />
head west on Lower Saranac Lake to mouth of the Saranac<br />
River, then do a short carry around the lower locks, then to<br />
Oseetah Lake and ending at Lake Flower – a race distance of<br />
10.5 miles.<br />
If you’d like to improve your skills, check out the<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> Paddling Symposium, which will be in Saranac<br />
Lake on Friday-Sunday, June 16-19. Now hosted by NFCT,<br />
it’s a comprehensive weekend of paddling instruction offering<br />
beginner and intermediate course tracks for kayaks, pack<br />
boats, SUPs and canoes. To learn more, go to: adirondackpaddlingsymposium.com.<br />
The <strong>Adirondack</strong> Canoe Classic – known as the 90-Miler –<br />
is an <strong>Adirondack</strong> tradition that dates back over three decades,<br />
and is on Friday-Sunday, Sept. 8-10. The classic takes paddlers<br />
from Old Forge to Saranac Lake, the first 90 miles of<br />
the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which extends 740 miles<br />
on historic waterways to Fort Kent, Me. The 90-Miler online<br />
registration begins July 1.<br />
The Long Lake Long Boat Regatta will take place on<br />
Saturday, Sept. 23, closing out the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Race Series.<br />
Events include North American voyageur canoe championships,<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> kayak championship, Northeastern<br />
College Cup race. The 10-mile course is a figure-eight, beginning<br />
and ending at the Long Lake Public Beach. They have<br />
all NYPRA classes and a fun “Anything Goes” category. For<br />
more info on the NFCT racing season, go to: northernforestcanoetrail.org.<br />
For something different, The Great Brant Lake Canoe<br />
Race is on Saturday, August 12. Experience a beautiful<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> lake, in a fun and exciting six-mile race that takes<br />
paddlers down the length of Brant’s picturesque shores into a<br />
channel, and finishing on the Mill Pond at the Horicon Town<br />
Beach. There will be post-race music, awards, demos, SUP<br />
yoga, voyageur canoe tours, and a kids’ race. Visit: northwarrencanoe.com.<br />
There are other races throughout the state not covered<br />
by the regional organizations. For information, they can be<br />
found here: nypra.org.<br />
Getting back to Northern New York Paddlers in the Capital<br />
Region, we also offer a recreational and instructional paddling<br />
program at Kiwanis Park on the Mohawk River/Erie Canal in<br />
Rotterdam on Mondays starting on May 1. There are a few<br />
canoes and kayaks to lend to participants, but we encourage<br />
participants to bring their own boats if you have them.<br />
NNYP also puts on weekly time trials for training and fitness<br />
at Aqueduct Park on the Mohawk River/Erie Canal in<br />
Niskayuna. This is a 3.6-mile timed paddle, the purpose of<br />
which is to track your progress through the year, as well as<br />
to see how different factors affect overall time. There is no<br />
entry fee for these two programs and the public is welcome.<br />

The Hoffman Notch Wilderness is a perfect example of<br />
how true wildness can sometimes be hidden in plain<br />
sight. Although it directly abuts an interstate highway,<br />
and although its size is rather middling, solitude and<br />
natural beauty abound. In other words, Hoffman Notch is<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> wilderness at its best – despite its accessibility.<br />
Many people have seen this wilderness, whether they are<br />
aware of it or not – but few can say they know the landscape on<br />
an intimate basis. Ever since I-87 (known as the <strong>Adirondack</strong><br />
Northway) opened in 1967, the Blue Ridge Range has been<br />
adorning roadside vistas for thousands of drivers every day.<br />
It is a place that seems so close to “civilization” that it can<br />
hardly be considered remote, by any standard.<br />
Indeed, several of its most popular destinations are barely<br />
a mile from the starting point, and the area’s most iconic<br />
scenery can be consumed with minimal effort. This makes<br />
Hoffman Notch somewhat “inside-out” compared to most<br />
of the other protected areas in the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s, which hold<br />
their best scenic secrets deep within their boundaries. It also<br />
might partially explain why an area so accessible is so little<br />
known to the general public, aside from these few peripheral<br />
treasures.<br />
The state-maintained trail network in this wilderness is<br />
somewhat limited, but adequate given the level of interest.<br />
The marked trails to Bailey Pond, Big Pond, and Severance<br />
Hill are all short and easy – and therefore well used. The longer<br />
trail past Big Marsh within Hoffman Notch is only moderately<br />
used, and the trail between Big Pond and Trout Brook<br />
sees hardly any foot traffic at all.<br />
Limited though it may be, the Hoffman Notch Wilderness<br />
trail system will soon expand. A new trail over Jones Hill is<br />
already partly constructed (as of <strong>2023</strong>); this will eventually<br />
create a through-route from Big Pond to Dirgylot Hill, by<br />
way of North Pond and Platt Brook. Jones Hill is likely the<br />
place from which the famous 19th century American artist<br />
Thomas Cole sketched Hoffman Mountain in 1838, and its<br />
view remains first-rate.<br />
And this new trail will likely become part of the North<br />
Country National Scenic Trail, which is slated to pass through<br />
the southern part of the wilderness.<br />
Until that trail is opened – I’ve already previewed it, and<br />
it will be a stunner – Big Pond remains an excellent introduction<br />
to the Hoffman Notch area. This article describes the<br />
main trail, but with a little bit of outdoor sleuthing experienced<br />
explorers can tack on some excellent side trips.<br />
GETTING THERE<br />
Big Pond, Jones Hill and More<br />
This entrance to the Hoffman Notch Wilderness is located just<br />
a few miles west of Schroon Lake. From Northway (I-87) Exit<br />
28, drive south on US Route 9 through the village to Hoffman<br />
Road, a right turn. Hoffman Road crosses the Northway and<br />
climbs into the foothills, eventually reaching the trailhead<br />
2.1 miles from town. It is located on the right, with room for<br />
about two or three cars to park.<br />
THE TRAIL<br />
This trail follows an old woods road and provides an easy<br />
walk, as wilderness hikes go, beginning in a plantation of pine<br />
and ending in a native stand of hemlock. It is a perfect route<br />
for those people looking for a short, easy excursion through<br />
the woods, and the destination pond is a great place for a<br />
picnic or weekend backpacking trip.<br />
The hike begins next to an old cellar hole hidden next to<br />
the parking area. The even-aged pine forest surrounding the<br />
start of the trail suggests that this was once a cleared farm. The<br />
trail leads to a wide bridge across a rather boisterous branch<br />
of Rogers Brook at the foot of a long beaver flow, where you<br />
will find some interesting cascades immediately downstream.<br />
The trail then angles northwest through the rolling terrain<br />
between Big and North ponds. For the duration of this 1.7-<br />
mile hike, you will pass a wide variety of conifers, and so this<br />
is an excellent chance to brush up on your dendrology. White<br />
pine, Scotch pine, cedar, balsam fir, red spruce, and hemlock<br />
all grow beside the trail. Can you identify them?<br />
Just short of an hour, the trail enters a tall hemlock stand<br />
with Big Pond becoming visible to the left. At 1.6 miles, after<br />
rising over and descending a hemlock-clad knoll, you reach<br />
a junction with a side trail bearing left. The blue trail continuing<br />
straight ahead winds into the headwater region of Trout<br />
Brook, but the left trail leads in just 0.1 mile to a well-situated<br />
campsite perched above a pebbly beach. It is the ideal picnic<br />
spot, especially since it faces into the sun and overlooks most<br />
of this wild pond.<br />
SIDE TRIPS<br />
The hike to Big Pond is fine for people who enjoy easy hikes<br />
or are short for time, but a quick glance at a map shows other<br />
options exist nearby as well.<br />
The new section of the North Country<br />
National Scenic Trail leading over Jones<br />
Hill is mostly cut and ready to explore,<br />
though as of this writing it is not signed or<br />
marked. It passes south of North Pond –<br />
with its fine views of Hoffman Mountain<br />
– and then circles through the foothills<br />
to flank Jones Hill from the west. After a<br />
quick climb, the trail-to-be follows the<br />
ridgeline to what has already become a<br />
favorite summit view for local hikers.<br />
Backing up to the beaver flow on the<br />
unnamed Rogers Brook tributary, you<br />
can bushwhack along the north bank<br />
to glimpse one of the most active heron<br />
rookeries in the area. And if you are persistent<br />
enough to circumvent all these<br />
wetlands, the south shore of Big Pond<br />
features a hidden campsite with photogenic<br />
views of Hoffman and its range<br />
of fellow mountains. Just beware of ticks<br />
lurking in the leaf litter.<br />

ATHLETE PROFILE<br />
Jessica Miller<br />
By Jack Rightmyer<br />
Jessica Miller was destined to be a ski patroller. Her<br />
mom’s parents were ski patrollers. Her parents<br />
were both ski patrollers, and they actually first met<br />
on a little mountain outside of Buffalo named Kissing<br />
Bridge. She has an uncle who still patrols. “Growing<br />
up I watched my dad serve in leadership roles for ski<br />
patrol, and run clinics to train patrollers in toboggan<br />
handling, which is how we get injured skiers off<br />
the mountain,” Jessie said, from her home in Burnt<br />
Hills. “When I graduated from college, I decided to<br />
become a ski patroller where my parents patrolled at<br />
Elk Mountain in Pennsylvania.”<br />
She quickly got involved in the same program her dad<br />
used to teach; Outdoor Emergency Transportation, involving<br />
skiing and toboggan handling. She patrolled for six years at<br />
Elk Mountain and for the last 10 years at Gore Mountain after<br />
she and her husband moved to Burnt Hills. Jessie is a volunteer,<br />
and usually patrols two days a week. “I am fortunate to<br />
have flexibility in my day job, when my daughters were born,<br />
I reduced my time commitment. Now that they are bigger, I<br />
use some of that time to patrol and to ski. As a family, we are<br />
on the mountain every weekend all winter.”<br />
On March 18th she accomplished something that no one<br />
has done in the last 27 years, she completed the National Ski<br />
Patrol’s Certified program at Killington Resort in one weekend.<br />
The program includes modules in skiing, toboggan handling,<br />
first aid, lift evacuation, low angle rescue, avalanche,<br />
and outdoor risk management.<br />
“The program was established in 1968,” Jessie said, “and<br />
I’m Certified Member #860. It’s a national program, and only<br />
26 women have completed it. The test is offered once a year.<br />
You are allowed three years to complete all the modules, and<br />
it’s designed to test you and strip you down to your core. The<br />
examiners want to see how you can handle yourself when<br />
you’re tired. Emergencies happen at the least convenient<br />
times, not when we are fresh.”<br />
Jessie said she was very committed to training. “It really<br />
demands a lot of time, and that you ask for help. You can’t<br />
do this alone; it takes a community. Many certified members<br />
spent time training with me this season, I’m grateful for their<br />
support and for sharing their knowledge.”<br />
Her dad suffered from ALS and passed away when she<br />
was 18 years old. “My dad loved patrolling. I was fortunate to<br />
become a ski patroller at Elk Mountain where he had trained<br />
so many of the ski patrollers who would eventually become<br />
my friends. They took me under their wing. Ski patrolling has<br />
been a way for me to get to know my dad as an adult. We are<br />
both cut from the same cloth. He loved mentoring patrollers,<br />
and I also love to do that.”<br />
She has always loved the tremendous community in the<br />
world of patrolling. “Many of my strongest friendships and<br />
connections have been built through the shared passions<br />

of patrolling, helping people<br />
in need on the mountain and<br />
teaching the skills of good<br />
patrolling. Patrollers are kind<br />
souls who want to help people.<br />
When someone is hurt,<br />
it’s a patroller that will get<br />
you down. We need to have<br />
enough medical knowledge<br />
to deal with a serious injury<br />
on the hill, with limited medical<br />
resources. We also need to<br />
know how to extricate an injured skier and safely bring them<br />
down in a toboggan.”<br />
Patrolling can be very challenging. “The days can be long.<br />
Helping people who were seriously injured can challenge<br />
you both mentally and physically in trying to figure out how<br />
to get them down the mountain safely.”<br />
Some of her favorite days as a patroller are when she’s<br />
used her knowledge to teach others. For the past four years<br />
she has served as the Regional Advisor for the National Ski<br />
Patrol Outdoor Emergency Transportation Program where<br />
she has taught numerous clinics and worked as a trainer evaluator.<br />
“I especially love teaching our women’s programs. It<br />
inspires me to see the energy and excitement when women<br />
embrace their potential, that they can do extraordinary<br />
things. We had a two-day women’s program this winter at<br />
Gore, and it was wonderful to see these patrollers run toboggans<br />
and grow.”<br />
She has two young daughters, aged eight and ten, who<br />
love to ski as much as she does. “They are good little ski buddies.<br />
They enjoy being out on the mountain. My husband and<br />
I invested a lot of time when they were little bringing them<br />
on long trips to the mountain sometimes only for a couple<br />
of runs. They’re old enough now where they can sweep the<br />
mountain with me after their race program ends. My oldest<br />
thinks that’s the coolest thing in the world.”<br />
What Jessie loves about skiing is that it’s one of those<br />
sports that is a never-ending pursuit in trying to become better.<br />
“When you’ve mastered one level you can always take<br />
your skill to another level of terrain. You can also always work<br />
▲▲ DELTA LAKE TRIATHLON NEAR ROME, 2019.<br />
▲ WOMEN’S CLINIC, GORE MOUNTAIN PATROLLER SCHOOL.<br />
on trying to smooth out your skiing. It’s a sport that allows<br />
you to keep learning.”<br />
Jessie is also a mentor with Saratoga Shredders, a youth<br />
mountain bike program with a mission to get more kids on<br />
bikes. “In the summer and fall we love to mountain bike as<br />
a family. We also hike and go camping. I do the occasional<br />
sprint distance triathlon. We are a family that loves to move<br />
and be outdoors.”<br />
Like many of us, she has often heard people complain<br />
about the long cold winters we have in upstate New York.<br />
“Until you actually get outside, you never really know what<br />
the day is like. Many times, we’ve driven to Gore thinking the<br />
conditions would be too cold or the snow would be atrocious,<br />
only to get on the mountain and find out what a great day it<br />
is to ski. There is so much beauty around us especially in the<br />
winter. I don’t understand hibernating when it gets cold out.<br />
I’m so happy that my kids love winter as much as I do.”<br />
Jack Rightmyer (jackxc@nycap.rr.com) of Burnt Hills was<br />
a longtime cross-country coach at Bethlehem High School<br />
and today is an Adjunct English Professor at Siena College.<br />
He has written two books “A Funny Thing About Teaching”<br />
and “It’s Not About Winning.”

generation through windmills. Included in registration<br />

▲ Elliptical bikes have a gentle long-stride motion that<br />
feels like running on air.<br />
8C – 8-speed. The 8C is the world’s most popular elliptical bike.<br />
You’ll feel like you’re “running on air” with eight gears capable<br />
of tackling tough climbs, it suits athletes and recreational riders.<br />
Whether your goal is to lose weight, crosstrain or just get moving,<br />
it delivers the best bang for your buck.<br />
11R – 11-speed. If you seek the ultimate elliptical experience, the<br />
11R is the only one that offers the patented running-like pedaling<br />
motion, vibration-dampening carbon-fiber drive arms, and a<br />
folding-steering column for easy transport – and has the widest<br />
gear range of any bike.<br />
Over 250 high schools, colleges & universities use the ElliptiGO as<br />
a training tool for their cross-country running teams. Low impact<br />
training allows recovery of injured hips, knees, ankles. So smooth<br />
it feels like running on air, very gentle on your joints.<br />
Take Your Fitness<br />
to the Next Level!<br />
ElliptiGO delivers a low-impact, full-body workout that burns 33%<br />
more calories than a traditional bike. Stand-up riding reduces stress<br />
on your neck/back and eliminates seat pain. It is a great workout<br />
since it engages your core and upper body in addition to your legs.<br />
The higher riding position makes it easier to see and be seen.<br />
