“I<br />
11<br />
was only eight years old when Whiteface opened,”<br />
said general manager Jay Rand. “I spent most of<br />
my time ski jumping in those days, but I remember<br />
downhill skiing here as a kid. There were only two lifts<br />
and a few trails. Now, after <strong>50</strong> years of operation there<br />
are ten lifts and 77 trails, and Whiteface skiers enjoy the<br />
greatest vertical drop east of the Rocky Mountains.”<br />
On January 25, 1958, Governor Averell Harriman<br />
assembled at the base of Whiteface Mountain in<br />
Wilmington, with other dignitaries for an impressive ribbon-cutting<br />
ceremony to celebrate the opening of the<br />
state’s grandest alpine ski venue, Whiteface Mountain Ski<br />
Center. This special event was particularly gratifying for<br />
the skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts who lobbied for<br />
a “big mountain” in the Lake Placid area for many years.<br />
Ironically, when the athletes competed in the skiing<br />
events at the 1932 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid,<br />
there was only “skiing.” This more closely resembled<br />
cross-country skiing, rather than today’s downhill techniques.<br />
The truth is that many ski enthusiasts doggedly<br />
climbed snowy hills to experience the thrill of skiing<br />
down the trails and open fi elds with their wooden skis<br />
and leather boots. However, the 1932 Olympic ski races<br />
were held on the relatively fl at terrain with some rolling<br />
hills at the Lake Placid Club. Though the tiny village was<br />
surrounded by majestic mountain ranges there was no<br />
“down mountain skiing” as we know it today.<br />
Some of the spectators at the 1932 Winter Olympic<br />
Games returned to their upstate communities full of<br />
enthusiasm for using the snow covered hills and trails for<br />
skiing in their own towns and hamlets. Soon New York<br />

Celebrating the Anniversary of a Giant<br />
by Ron Farra<br />
State was home to many open ski slopes including those<br />
in Albany, Indian Lake, North Creek, Old Forge, Saratoga<br />
Springs, Saranac, Tupper Lake and Lake Placid. In North<br />
Creek, skiers who arrived on the famous ski trains were<br />
transported uphill in private cars and trucks so they<br />
could schuss down the trails made during the non-snow<br />
months by enterprising townsfolk. The historic “Ride-Up,<br />
Ski-Down Program” for 25 cents per ride continued until<br />
rope tows, T-bars, and J-bars were added at Little Gore<br />
Mountain to carry skiers up the snowy slopes.<br />
After hosting the 1932 Winter Olympic Games, Lake<br />
Placid’s reputation grew as a winter resort and vacation<br />
spot, blessed with the awesome beauty of the <strong>Adirondack</strong><br />
Mountains and Whiteface Mountain (elevation 4,867<br />
feet) – the fi fth highest peak in New York State. Alpine<br />
skiing continued to gain popularity as the village hosted<br />
a wide variety of winter sports, meets, competitions, exhibitions<br />
and tournaments. During the 1940s Lake Placid<br />
boasted of three ski slopes with 600 to 700 foot vertical<br />
drops, including Scott’s Cobble, Faun Ridge and Mount<br />
Whitney, as well as a downhill racing trail at Mount Jo.<br />
But the area needed a larger, more challenging ski center<br />
to keep up with the competition from other prestigious<br />
winter resorts like Stowe, Vt., North Conway, N.H., and<br />
Sun Valley, Idaho.<br />
Though it took a legislative amendment and a great<br />
deal of hard work for many ski enthusiasts, the development<br />
of 20 miles of ski trails in the state’s “Forever Wild”<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> Forest Preserve was approved in 1941. But it<br />
would take many years for those trails to be cut.<br />
Initial construction started in 1941 and stopped soon<br />

RUNNING & WALKING<br />
Athlete’s ‘Bucket List’<br />
New Goals to Find the Joy in Your Life<br />
by Laura Clark<br />
hen I joined the Saratoga Stryders<br />
Wrunning club, I was amazed to discover<br />
that fellow club member Bill Taylor<br />
spent a good portion of each New Year’s<br />
Day meticulously plotting out his life for<br />
the next 12 months. Not his work life or<br />
his family life, but his athletic life. While<br />
the rest of us mortals were resolving to eat<br />
one less donut, Bill was adding a positive<br />
spin to the yearly challenge.<br />
While spontaneity is still a big part<br />
of my life, I have come to recognize that<br />
focusing on a new goal defi nitely helps<br />
get me out the door. I know that I have<br />
a tendency to get stuck in a rut, feeling<br />
duty-bound to enter the same events<br />
year after year. But instead of plotting the<br />
same routine on predictable graph paper,<br />
I have learned that it is vital to step out of<br />
that little blue-rimmed square. It doesn’t<br />
have to be a big leap, just a small step into<br />
somewhat unfamiliar territory.<br />
Here are some suggestions to consider<br />
adding to your life list:<br />
“S” Stands for Snow…<br />
Have you noticed that many of the snow<br />
sports also begin with the letter “s”? Take<br />
ski biathlons, snowshoeing, skijoring…<br />
While snowshoeing is rapidly catching on,<br />
skijoring and ski biathlons are still more<br />
popular in Europe than in the United<br />
States. Getting in on the leading edge of<br />
any sport means that until the rest of the<br />
world catches up, even average individuals<br />
have an opportunity to shine.<br />
The sport of snowshoe racing is a great<br />
way to avoid falling off a boring treadmill,<br />
or breaking an ankle on icy roads, plus it<br />
will get you in shape really fast. Ever wonder<br />
why many of the top mountain racers<br />
like Paul Low and Nikki Kimball also<br />
happen to be champion snowshoers? The<br />
reason is that a few months on snowshoes<br />
will develop strong quads and lungs and<br />
place you way ahead of the pack once spring<br />
arrives. To get started, visit the Western<br />
Mass. Athletic Club (runwmac.com) for<br />
events and their SnoNews tips, and Empire<br />
State Snowshoeing (empirestatesnowshoe.<br />
org) for New York happenings.<br />
With the names Fido and Spot giving<br />
way to Finn and Sophie as pets are awarded<br />
family member status, attendance at<br />
dog obedience school is as obligatory as<br />
three walks a day. But what if you and your<br />
pet want to break out of the mold? Simply<br />
try skijoring by trading your sneakers for<br />

cross-country skis and your dog’s leash<br />
for a skijor halter. Skijoring requires intuitive<br />
cooperation between interspecies<br />
team members and is best approached<br />
with a few starter lessons. For instruction<br />
and advice on reliable gear, contact<br />
Garnet Hill Lodge (garnet-hill.com) in<br />
North River, Salmon Hills (salmonhills.<br />

Complex (whitefacelakeplacid.com) in<br />
Lake Placid. Also, check out rundawgrun.<br />
com, adirondackskidog.com and skijornow.com,<br />
and the books Skijor with Your<br />
Dog by Mari Hoe-Raitto and Ski Spot Run<br />
by Matt Haakenstad.<br />
For biathlon, the Saratoga Biathlon<br />
Club in Day (saratogabiathlon.20m.com)<br />
offers a convenient location to practice<br />
snow skills. The club exists in a magic<br />
area where snow falls early and stays late<br />
despite what it is doing in the rest of the<br />
Capital Region. For an inexpensive membership<br />
fee, you get unlimited use of challenging<br />
groomed trails. You will be welcomed<br />
by Jim and Betty Schreiner, who<br />
host ski, snowshoe and running biathlons<br />
year-round. Just arrive an hour before<br />
any of their events, check out a loaner<br />
rifl e and learn the basics. For info on the<br />
Lake Placid Biathlon Club and the sport,<br />

Tower Climbing…<br />
Looking for a sport that will impress your<br />
friends but requires less time to complete<br />
than your average 5K race? Try tower (or<br />
stair) climbing. There are two events in<br />
Albany, the 20th annual Corning Tower<br />
Stair Climb (cff.org) on February 7, and<br />
the inaugural Climb UAlbany (alanys.org) in<br />
the 22-story Colonial Tower on March 29.<br />
Runners are sent off in waves, avoiding<br />
the ping-pong effect of a mass-start<br />
up a narrow stairwell. At last year’s 42story<br />
Corning Tower race, I won my age<br />
group in a respectable 9:11, coming off<br />
a strong snowshoe season with little<br />
actual stair practice. I also discovered the<br />
“climber’s hack” wheezing and coughing<br />
experienced afterwards, however it’s really<br />
no big deal since it doesn’t affect your<br />
race. For a list of climbs worldwide, go to<br />
towerrunning.com.<br />
Climb Another Mountain…<br />
The 13th annual USATF-New England<br />
Mountain Running Circuit (usatfne.<br />
org) takes the children’s song, The Bear<br />
Went Over the Mountain, to new heights<br />
with six mountain challenges. The series<br />
begins in late May and continues through<br />
the middle of June. USATF members who<br />
complete all six events receive a coveted<br />
Mountain Goat T-shirt and a lottery<br />
bypass for the Mount Washington Road<br />
Race on June 21. Obviously, it takes a good<br />
deal of stamina to run all the way up any<br />
mountain and many folks power hike the<br />
steepest sections. This quest is an ideal<br />
follow-up for those coming off a strong<br />
ski or snowshoe season and surprisingly,<br />
easier on the joints than a “normal” race.<br />
Best of all, running up a mountain never<br />
fails to impress fl at 5K devotees.<br />
“The Streak…”<br />
Runners in pursuit of the streak are often<br />
regarded with a mixture of envy and consternation.<br />
As defi ned by the United States<br />
Running Streak Association (runeveryday.<br />
com), a streak involves running at least<br />
one continuous mile every day. While<br />
maintaining a streak will get you out the<br />
door, this is often not a good thing to do<br />
when sick or injured.<br />
However, there are more inventive and<br />
potentially doable streaks just waiting for<br />
anyone with a little imagination. You could<br />
aspire to complete all the races in a series,<br />
like the Mountain Running Circuit or the<br />
Albany Running Exchange’s fourth annual<br />
free Summer Trail Run Series (albanyrunningexchange.org)<br />
on Thursdays from<br />
late May through August.<br />
Some events like the WMAC Snowshoe<br />
Series also acknowledge “points” leaders.<br />
Theoretically, the headliners would be bigname<br />
stars whom you could never beat<br />
in a thousand years. But think again! The<br />
big stars often have other, more lucrative<br />
commitments, and might make only one<br />
or two of the series races, leaving room for<br />
you – especially if you’re a female. Last year,<br />
I was second female points leader despite<br />
the fact that I mostly fi nished on the bottom<br />
half of the race results. Sometimes it<br />
pays just to show up!<br />
Another possibility is to join The<br />
<strong>Adirondack</strong> Runners (adirondackrunners.<br />
com) and enter their Mileage High Club,<br />
where members are invited to pursue a<br />
yearly mileage goal that is both doable<br />
and somewhat challenging. All who<br />
achieve their goal receive certifi cates,<br />
with the possibility of earning patches at<br />
signifi cant milestones. Mileage is tracked<br />
quarterly in the club newsletter for all<br />
to see, if you so desire, which defi nitely<br />
serves as good motivation.<br />
For inspiration, here are three books<br />
to consider reading: Long Distance: A Year<br />
of Living Strenuously by Bill McKibben;<br />
Over the Edge: A Regular Guy’s Odyssey<br />
in Extreme <strong>Sports</strong> by Michael Bane; and<br />
To the Edge: A Man, Death Valley and the<br />
Mystery of Endurance by Kirk Johnson.<br />
Once you get started on your quest,<br />
New Year’s resolution time will become<br />
an occasion for revitalization rather than<br />
dread. There is an endless parade of possibilities<br />
to add to your life list from running<br />
a marathon in every state, to competing<br />
in a 24-hour relay race, to giving back<br />
by volunteering at an event. Whatever<br />
new path you choose, know that you will<br />
return both refreshed and reenergized.<br />

SWIMMING<br />
BILATERAL BREATHING<br />
From: Donal Fagan<br />
Date: January 29, 2008 11:40am<br />
Last week, while I was doing the 5 x <strong>50</strong><br />
freestyle, I happened to switch between<br />
“breathe alternate sides” and “25 breathe<br />
left, 25 breathe right.” Though I swam with<br />
the same effort, breathe alternate sides was<br />
always a few seconds faster.<br />
From: Grant Hall<br />
Date: January 29, 2008 12:07pm<br />
This is still true for me as well. My conclusion<br />
has been that I have still not completely<br />
mastered a perfectly executed, seamless<br />
breath.<br />
From: Richard Skerrett<br />
Date: January 29, 2008 12:23pm<br />
In my limited experience, I would say<br />
that while breathing alternate sides is highly<br />
benefi cial, breathing to one side on odd<br />
lengths and the other side on even lengths<br />
may be even better. Further, although I<br />
haven’t established it with certainty I think<br />
that I swim better breathing to the “wrong”<br />
side. Perhaps not faster yet, but with a more<br />
effi cient stroke. I must do some timed tests<br />
to compare them.<br />
From: Donal Fagan<br />
Date: January 29, 2008 1:26pm<br />
I did some timed <strong>50</strong>0s a few years ago.<br />
Even though I feel better breathing left,<br />
or alternating breathing side by 25, I was<br />
fastest breathing exclusively to the right. I<br />
never timed alternate breathing for a full<br />
<strong>50</strong>0, though. I’ve only managed that once<br />
or twice.<br />
From: Terry Laughlin<br />
Date: January 29, 2008 10:49pm<br />
This is an excellent series of observations<br />
on the different choices one has for breathing<br />
bilaterally. My introduction to bilateral<br />
breathing came after I had “retired” from<br />
competitive swimming at age 21 to begin<br />
coaching.<br />

On my fi rst practice as a coach, I noticed<br />
that nearly my entire team of 15 college<br />
men had lopsided strokes. The left-breathers<br />
swung wider on recovery on the left side<br />
and the right-hand stroke crossed the centerline.<br />
The right-breathers did the opposite.<br />
After pondering what I’d seen that evening,<br />
I decided to experiment with “wrong side<br />
breathing” the next day.<br />
The next day I instructed the team to<br />
breathe on their less natural side throughout<br />
our 800-yard warm-up. Instantly nearly<br />
everyone was far more symmetrical in their<br />
stroking. Being a new coach, I wasn’t exactly<br />
sure why or what the effect of that might<br />
be, but I was pretty sure that “practicing<br />
symmetry” would be good for their swimming.<br />
Thirty-fi ve years later, I’m also pretty<br />
sure that most probably felt awkward and<br />
swam slower during that warm-up though<br />
they looked better. From that day I became<br />
a believer in bilateral breathing during practice<br />
though I didn’t insist on it during races.<br />
I was still swimming a bit myself at<br />
that time (I didn’t resume regular training<br />
for another 17 years) and I began breathing<br />
alternate sides. Breathing to the right<br />
felt awkward, but I kept at it. For the next<br />
25 years my bilateral breathing was mostly<br />
alternate sides – every 3, 5 or 7 strokes.<br />
As I approached my <strong>50</strong>th birthday, I<br />
became dissatisfi ed with the fact that my<br />
right-hand catch never felt as good as my left.<br />
I understood why. For my fi rst ten years of<br />
swimming, a period when I gave little thought<br />
to technique, I’d developed many bad habits.<br />
Several – poor alignment and “collapsing<br />

catch” on my right side – were related to my<br />
being a left-breather. My other side had never<br />
developed bad habits so it was “virgin.”<br />
In my late 40s I decided to breathe mostly<br />
to my right for a year or two, to somewhat<br />
compensate for breathing exclusively left for<br />
my fi rst 10 years as a swimmer. It was challenging<br />
at fi rst, because it felt unnatural.<br />
Breathing alternate sides, even for 20-plus<br />
years, had not exposed me to the sense of<br />
full-time awkwardness one gets from breathing<br />
hundreds of times in a row to one’s less<br />
natural side. But my alignment and catch on<br />
both sides were unquestionably better when<br />
I breathed only to the right.<br />
Consequently I had immediate, measurable<br />
gains in effi ciency, taking one less<br />
stroke-per-length in 25-yard pools and two<br />
to three less in <strong>50</strong>-meter pools. I didn’t time<br />
myself too much in the beginning, but I was<br />
probably a bit slower.<br />
I was comfortable with what I was sure<br />
would be a temporary sacrifi ce in speed,<br />
because concentrated right-breathing<br />
seemed the only way to reeducate my right<br />
hand to an effective catch. Which is precisely<br />
what occurred – my right hand is still not<br />
quite as “patient” as my left, but it’s dramatically<br />
better than before.<br />
I take an estimated half-million freestyle<br />
strokes a year. A quarter-million of those<br />
strokes – all those I take with my right hand<br />
– feel markedly more effective now than<br />
eight years ago because I spent a year or two<br />
breathing mainly to my right, followed over<br />
the past six years, taking a roughly equal<br />
number of breaths to each side.<br />
30th<br />
Anniversary!<br />
PHOTO COURTESY OF TOTAL IMMERSION SWIMMING<br />
This year I’ve resumed breathing more<br />
often to the left, my original side. Why?<br />
Because I’m still unquestionably faster when I<br />
breathe left, but after so many years of “remedial”<br />
breathing I’m now a much more effi cient<br />
swimmer whichever side I breathe on.<br />
Try These Exercises in “Examined”<br />
Bilateral Breathing<br />
� Swim three rounds of “4 x <strong>50</strong>” freestyle. Rest<br />
for fi ve or more deep, slow “cleansing” breaths<br />
between <strong>50</strong>s – or choose an interval that<br />
allows at least 15 seconds recovery between<br />
<strong>50</strong>s. Rest for a minute between rounds.<br />
� In each round, swim one <strong>50</strong> of each: breathe<br />
to your left for the entire <strong>50</strong>; breathe to your<br />
right for the entire <strong>50</strong>; breathe to your left for<br />
25 and your right for 25; and breathe bilaterally<br />
(every three strokes) for the entire <strong>50</strong>.<br />
� On the fi rst round just count strokes for<br />
each <strong>50</strong>. On the second round, time yourself<br />
for each <strong>50</strong>. On the third round, calculate<br />
your Swim Golf score for each <strong>50</strong> (add<br />
strokes + time in seconds).<br />
Are you more effi cient (fewer strokes) with<br />
one breathing pattern than others? Are you<br />
faster with one breathing pattern than others?<br />
Are you more effective (lower golf score) with<br />
one breathing pattern than others?<br />

ATHLETE PROFILE<br />
Mary Duprey<br />
by Shannon Brescher Shea<br />
Speaking to Mary Duprey, most people<br />
would not guess that she is a competitive<br />
athlete, much less a highly successful one.<br />
She rarely talks about her cycling victories or<br />
impressive number of wins. But when she<br />
reaches the starting line, her competitors<br />
don’t even have time to realize how formidable<br />
she is before she disappears from sight.<br />
But Mary was not always a dominant<br />
force. Rather, she was far less active and<br />
healthy in her early 20s than she is now.<br />
“I used to smoke cigarettes, drink a lot of<br />
alcohol,” she said. “Then I decided I needed<br />
to get my stuff together.”<br />
Cycling attracted her as an activity, so<br />
she decided it might be the right thing to<br />
get her life in gear. Liking the freedom of<br />
the bicycle, she started competing in local<br />
time trial events and soon “fell in love with<br />
[it].” Participating in these rides awakened<br />
Mary’s inner athlete. “I think it’s just the<br />
drive that I had,” she said. “If I am going to<br />
do something, I’m going to go all out.”<br />
As her dedication grew, she quickly<br />
became known in the area’s athletic scene.<br />
She lives in Rouses Point, near the New<br />
York/Canadian border, but participates in<br />
events throughout the region. Upon a fellow<br />
rider’s recommendation, a leader of a<br />
local kayak triathlon team called her one<br />
day, and said, “I heard you were a good<br />
cyclist. Do you want to be on the team?”<br />
Although Mary had never met the caller,<br />
she readily accepted the invitation. Mary<br />
has participated every year since then<br />
in The Great Race triathlon each July, a<br />
3.1-mile run, 12-mile –bike, and 3-mile<br />
canoe/kayak event in St. Albans Bay, Vt.<br />

TRIATHLON – FIRST PLACE IN WOMENS’<br />
KAYAK DIVISION<br />
Mary’s reputation has only continued<br />
to expand since then, both as a cyclist<br />
and kayak triathlete. Testifying to her<br />
toughness, fellow athlete Clyde Yarnell of<br />
Essex, Vt., commented that not only does<br />
she win the women’s events, but regularly<br />
beats many of the top men. Describing the<br />
men at The Great Race triathlon, he said,<br />
“They can compare their times only by<br />
how many minutes Mary had beat them<br />
by. That’s pretty impressive. ‘Mary’s only<br />
beat me by two minutes this year… Mary’s<br />
only beat me by one minute this year…’”<br />
Mary’s winning has inspired her to<br />
tackle new challenges. “She wins a lot,<br />
no question. But I think she is probably<br />
satisfi ed to compete well,” said Don West<br />
of [to be determined], who participates<br />
in bicycle time trial races with her. “She<br />
won’t just stay home where she knows<br />
she can win.” Mary has competed as far<br />
away as Puerto Rico, and even brought<br />
her bicycle to Ireland on a business trip<br />
so that she could train.<br />
In September 2007, Mary topped even<br />
herself with her result in the Josh Billings<br />
RunAground triathlon, a 27-mile bike,<br />
fi ve-mile canoe/kayak, and six-mile run<br />
event in Lenox, Mass. Even though it<br />
was her fi rst time competing individually,<br />
she set a new women’s record by<br />
over fi ve minutes. “That is a huge time,”<br />
Clyde said, emphasizing that it included<br />
Age: 48<br />
Family: Husband, Gerry;<br />
Step-Daughters,<br />
Karen, 36, Shelley, 34;<br />
Daughters, Lauren, 25,<br />
Tori, 14<br />
Residence: Rouses Point<br />
Occupation: Quality Assurance<br />
Manager, Wyeth<br />
Pharmaceuticals<br />
Sport: Bicycling; Kayak/Canoe<br />
Triathlon (Kayak or<br />
Canoe/Bike/Run)<br />
all ages. Mary described it as her proudest<br />
moment yet, commenting, “I was just<br />
really pleased with myself that I was able<br />
to do that.” The Josh Billings triathlon is<br />
especially challenging as it begins with a<br />
mass bicycle start of over <strong>50</strong>0 cyclists.<br />
However, Mary has never been content<br />
to fall back on her accomplishments.<br />
Don, who met her over 20 years ago,<br />
recalled her reluctance to enter bike/run<br />
events. “She said, ‘Oh, I can’t run.’ Within<br />
a year or two, she just started running,” he<br />
said. Now, she often wins her age group<br />
for the running portion of multisport<br />
events. Similarly, she recently registered<br />
for the Tupper Lake Tinman Triathlon, a<br />
1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, and 13.1mile<br />
run event on June 29, 2008, although<br />
she doesn’t consider herself a swimmer.<br />
“I’m going to learn how to swim in the<br />
next fi ve months,” she said. “It excites me.<br />
I guess I have a fear of water – so I think<br />
I’m doing it just to overcome the fear.” She<br />
hopes that once she completes this halfironman<br />
she may be able to tackle the<br />
Ironman USA Lake Placid triathlon (July<br />
20, 2008) in a future year.<br />
Despite her success, Mary rarely speaks<br />
about her triumphs. Instead, she is known<br />
for her quiet modesty, allowing her victories<br />
to speak for her. “What’s the most amazing<br />
to see is that she’s such a pleasant person,”<br />
Clyde said. “You wouldn’t even know she’s<br />
a top-notch athlete. You never know until<br />
she gets on the bike and she gets her game<br />
face.” Similarly, Don said, “She doesn’t<br />
boast... Just does it quietly and lets it go.<br />
She’s not in it for recognition.”<br />
Rather than touting her accomplishments,<br />
Mary works hard to share her dedication<br />
to sports with her family. Although<br />
she fi rst met her husband, Gerry, through<br />
work, it was their running that brought<br />
them together. They both worked the second<br />
shift, ending at 1am. “When you’re<br />
done at one o’clock in the morning,<br />
you’re usually not ready to go home and<br />
go sleep,” she said. Instead of retreating to<br />
bed, some of the employees would go out<br />
for very early morning runs. In that group,<br />
��� ������� �������<br />
��� ��� ����������<br />
������ ��������<br />
��������������������������<br />
Mary and Gerry connected, running under<br />
the streetlights in the quiet night streets.<br />
Now, Mary balances her priorities<br />
by involving her family in her activities.<br />
Much of the time, her family acts as her<br />
support crew, which Mary said is “actually<br />
sometimes harder than doing the event.”<br />
Describing Mary and her husband, Don<br />
said, “They’re really a unit… They take up<br />
the slack for each other.” For example, Gerry<br />
often acts as a timer for the weekly time trials<br />
that Mary participates in and organizes.<br />
In addition to acting as Mary’s crew<br />
and cheering section, her family often<br />
takes part in the events. Last August, Mary<br />
and Gerry competed in the 17-mile Herc<br />
Speed Hiking Competition (with 6,678foot<br />
elevation gain/loss) at Sugarbush<br />
Resort in Warren, Vt., which Gerry<br />
described as “just the toughest thing I’ve<br />
ever seen.” To involve, Tori, her teenage<br />
daughter, in her activities, Mary bought a<br />
tandem bike. Mother, father, and daughter<br />
form a team for The Great Race triathlon<br />
with Mary kayaking, Gerry running,<br />
and Gerry and Tori cycling together.<br />
Recently, Mary has built upon her<br />
experience in the sporting world to<br />
reach out to non-athletes. Seeing her<br />
self-described “passion for fi tness,” her<br />
employers at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals<br />
asked her if she would act as the fi tness<br />
center manager. In this position, Mary<br />
has organized employee challenges and<br />
established an indoor walking path.<br />
A natural outgrowth of this job has<br />
been Mary’s participation in the American<br />
Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women”<br />
outreach program. After an organizational<br />
representative helped the center<br />
start a walking program, Mary decided to<br />
join the Plattsburgh chapter. “Our goal is<br />
to bring awareness to women and to men<br />
that heart disease is actually the number<br />
one killer of women in America,” she said.<br />
The group recently held its inaugural Go<br />
Red for Women Breakfast, a well-attended<br />
educational event and plans to hold<br />
another one next year.<br />
The cause is especially close to Mary,<br />
because she suffers from high blood pressure<br />
herself. “It was hard for me to believe I<br />
had high blood pressure,” she said. “I actually<br />
fought it for a couple of years.” Although<br />
she understands how some women wish<br />
to ignore the issue, she believes raising<br />
awareness of heart disease is essential. “It’s<br />
very preventable,” she said.<br />
Since the signs of a heart attack differ<br />
between men and women, a large part of<br />
her campaign focuses on raising awareness<br />
of these signals. She said that unlike<br />
men, women sometimes experience pain<br />
under their tongue or in their stomach.<br />
She encourages women to make a healthy<br />
diet and fi tness routine priorities in their<br />
lives. “It’s a woman’s tendency to take care<br />
of everyone else fi rst,” she said. “You need to<br />
take the time to take care of yourself.”<br />
No matter what the challenge, Mary<br />
Duprey has found new ways to harness<br />
her zeal for exercise, leading to success<br />
as an athlete and inspiration to others.<br />

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING & SNOWSHOEING<br />
PEAKED MOUNTAIN:<br />
A Short Winter<br />
Challenge<br />
eaked Mountain Pond has become<br />
a very popular fi shing, hiking, and<br />
camping destination, and of course<br />
it is an outstanding snowshoe destination.<br />
This gem of a lake in the shadow of its<br />
own rock-covered peak is most attractive.<br />
Peaked Mountain is the imposing cone<br />
that rises above it. When seen in profi le,<br />
it appears to be half spruce, half rock. It<br />
is the most distinctive of the rock-scarred<br />
mountains northwest of Thirteenth Lake,<br />
and it is the only one with a trail. The hike<br />
to the pond is a moderately diffi cult winter<br />
trek, and a scenic hike in its own right.<br />
The steepness of Peaked Mountain makes<br />
it more challenging, but not unattainable.<br />
Be wary of icy conditions, however.<br />
Getting There<br />
Access to the lake is by way of<br />
Thirteenth Lake Road, which leaves NY<br />
28 0.5 mile west of North River. It heads<br />
west and south, beside Thirteenth Brook,<br />
through Christian Hill, to a fork 3.5 miles<br />
from NY 28. The left, east, road goes to Old<br />
Farm Clearing and Garnet Hill Lodge, so<br />
take the right fork, Beach Road. It deadends<br />
at a parking lot located about 200<br />
yards from Thirteenth Lake. There are<br />
four designated campsites (with associated<br />
privies) between here and the lake.<br />

The Trail<br />
Follow the main trail through the camping<br />
area to the shore. Here, winter hikers<br />
have two options: striking out across the<br />
frozen surface of Thirteenth Lake, or following<br />
the red-marked hiking trail to the<br />
right—a rugged route that is quite scenic<br />
but also quite rugged. Either way, the view<br />
up Thirteenth Lake to the mountainous<br />
interior of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness<br />
is one I can never pass without pausing to<br />
enjoy. It makes me wish I was born with<br />
four legs and fur, so that I might be permitted<br />
to take up permanent residence in<br />
a country such as that.<br />
If you are crossing the ice, look for<br />
the mouth of Peaked Mountain Brook.<br />
The hiking trail turns inland at this point,<br />
although from the lake you will need to<br />
make your own way to it. The trail leads<br />
uphill, close to the brook on its north side.<br />
Look for the red markers of a newly designated<br />
trail leading across the brook at the<br />
top of the fi rst cascade, 1 trail mile from<br />
the parking area; it leads to Hour Pond<br />
and its new lean-to.<br />
Continuing beside the brook, the trail<br />
climbs steeply at fi rst, then more gently,<br />
until at 0.8 mile from the lake you cross<br />
the brook on an ice bridge or by hopping<br />
rocks. Shortly beyond, you approach the<br />

fi rst vly with views of Slide Mountain<br />
across it. The trail stays south of the fi rst<br />
vly, and then swings to the north side of<br />
the second beaver meadow. This zigzag is<br />
not shown on topographic maps, so be on<br />
the lookout if you are breaking your own<br />
trail through the winter woods.<br />
The trail leads around this meadow<br />
and back to the south side of the brook,<br />
where you continue to the third vly, over<br />
which you see Peaked Mountain for<br />
the fi rst time. The mountain’s “sudden”<br />
appearance is a highlight of the trip. The<br />
trail, sparsely marked, winds around huge<br />
boulders (one of which is tipped onto<br />
another to form a curious shelter) and up<br />
into the woods.<br />
The trail leads over a ridge to reach<br />
the outlet of Peaked Mountain Pond at 3<br />

MOUNTAIN POND.<br />
miles. White birches stand out from the<br />
hillside above, pointing to the soft grey<br />
rock outcrops that lead to the summit<br />
of Peaked Mountain. There is a campsite<br />
along the south shore with an outstanding<br />
view of the mountain.<br />
The continuing trail crosses the outlet<br />
of Peaked Mountain Pond, heading<br />
around the east shore through birch-fi lled<br />
woods. At the top of one rocky step, look<br />
for a side path leading left to a campsite<br />
by the water. The trail next points across<br />
a shallow draw at the northeast corner of<br />
the pond, where you head straight up the<br />
steep fl ank of the mountain in a northerly<br />
direction.<br />
Peaked Mountain is a short but challenging<br />
climb, especially in winter. You<br />
will definitely need snowshoes with<br />
aggressive crampons, for the way is steep<br />
and there will be several ledges to scramble<br />
over. In the summer, you will fi nd the<br />
tread to be eroded to bedrock in places.<br />
After scrambling around a rock ledge and<br />
pushing through a narrow tree-lined passage,<br />
you emerge on an outcrop with the<br />
fi rst view of the pond below.<br />
The trail now angles left, away from<br />
the cliffs, and zigzags back to the tip of the<br />
tiny cone that is the summit of the mountain,<br />
0.8 mile beyond the pond and 660<br />
feet above it. There are views west to the<br />
mountains beyond Indian Lake. From the<br />
edge of the cliff you look across to Slide<br />
Mountain and back along the long chain<br />
of vlies the trail follows along Peaked<br />
Mountain Brook. Gore Mountain fi lls the<br />
southeast horizon, while the High Peaks<br />
are visible beyond Ruby, Davis, and Casey<br />
mountains to the north.<br />

began full-time operation in 1951 with<br />
fi ve rope tows and a 3,3<strong>50</strong>-foot T-bar lift.<br />
Transportation by Sno-Cat or truck cost<br />
$1.15 per ride, rope tow rides were $1.<strong>50</strong> per<br />
day, and the T-bar was $4 for 20 rides. Due<br />
to the unchallenging terrain and primitive<br />
operations, Lake Placid remained an afterthought<br />
destination to skiers and Marble<br />
Mountain was eventually abandoned.<br />
In 1957, Gov. Harriman, an avid skier<br />
who had built Sun Valley in the 1930s,<br />
signed a law authorizing development<br />
of the present Whiteface Mountain Ski<br />
Center. It opened in 1958 with two chair<br />
lifts and a vertical drop of 3,216 feet, the<br />
longest in the East.<br />
“I patrolled at Marble Mountain,”<br />
remembers 70-year-old Jim Hoyt of Lake<br />
Placid. “I moved to the new Whiteface<br />
Mountain Ski Center weeks before it<br />
opened to help prepare for safe skiing<br />
and I have patrolled there ever since,” said<br />
Jim. He was named “King of Winter” and<br />
received a lifetime achievement award<br />
at the <strong>50</strong>th anniversary celebration on<br />
January 25, 2008. A trail to be called<br />
“Hoyt’s High” will be named in his honor<br />
with Whiteface’s expansion onto Lookout<br />
Mountain for the 2008-09 season.<br />
By the time the 1980 Winter Olympic<br />
Games were held in Lake Placid, there<br />
PHOTOS COURTESY OF ORDA/<strong>WHITEFACE</strong><br />
was a big mountain and downhill skiing<br />
was king. The 3,009-meter course for the<br />
men’s downhill races was considered one<br />
of the best in world-class skiing competition.<br />
“Since then, Whiteface has hosted a<br />
wide variety of state, national and international<br />
events including World Cup alpine<br />
and freestyle skiing and snowboarding,”<br />
said Sandy Caligiore, spokesman for the<br />
Olympic Regional Development Authority.<br />
“The people of Lake Placid and<br />
Wilmington and all the leaders who<br />
worked so long and hard to bring big<br />
mountain skiing to the region are justifi<br />
ably proud of Whiteface Mountain and<br />
being the winter sports capital of the<br />
world,” Sandy said.<br />

If alpine skiing had been an Olympic<br />
sport, it is doubtful Lake Placid would<br />
have hosted the 1932 Games. And if not<br />
for Whiteface, Lake Placid would not have<br />
hosted the 1980 Games and the current<br />
sports scene would not be what it is today.<br />
Happy anniversary Whiteface! Who<br />
knows, there may be another celebration<br />
in 2009 to honor the 60th anniversary of<br />
Whiteface at Marble Mountain.<br />

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Asian Longhorned<br />
Beetle Cooperative Eradication Program reports that moving<br />
firewood can spread tree-killing invasive diseases and insect pests<br />
like the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). Already, the ALB is<br />
responsible for the loss of more than 42,000 trees in New York,<br />
New Jersey, and Illinois.<br />
Stop the Beetle! Buy and use firewood locally.<br />
Don’t transport it.<br />
And remember, officials survey trees for signs of beetle<br />
infestation year ’round and may be in your area. For answers<br />
concerning surveys, wood movement, or suspected signs<br />
of beetle infestation, call the Asian Longhorned Beetle<br />
Cooperative Eradication Program.<br />
In New York, call 1–877–STOP–ALB or 1–866–265–0301.<br />
In New Jersey and on Staten Island, call 1–732–815–4700.<br />
Log onto http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ALB.<br />
The Asian Longhorned Beetle Cooperative Eradication Program is comprised of<br />
the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Forest Service, joined<br />
in New York by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the<br />
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the New York City<br />
Department of Parks and Recreation. The USDA agencies are joined in New Jersey<br />
by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the New Jersey Department of<br />
Environmental Protection, and the City of Linden.
