WARREN COUNTY GUIDE
Snow trains, spectacles of gaiety and color, operate in season from New York, Albany, Troy and Schenectady to North Creek and Lake George. Press and radio join in disseminating reports on ski conditions and snow trains. Special accommodations, such as hotels and tourist homes formerly open in summer only, are being provided on an ever increasing scale in all winter resort centers.
Listed below is a summary of the facilities at the major ski centers, with locations and notes on accommodations.
BOLTON LANDING
Located on State 9N, this winter resort has open slopes, trails and club- house on the grounds of the Sagamore Golf Club on Federal Hill. The main trail extends 21/2 miles from 1,457 feet up Federal Hill across the golf course and through the woods to the Shelter House on the shore of Lake George, 1,150 feet lower in elevation. The practice slopes and trails provide skiing for novices, intermediates, and experts. Skating, ice- boating, tobogganing, and ski-joring add variety. The village and the Sagamore Clubhouse accommodate winter visitors.
FRENCH MOUNTAIN
Two miles from Lake George Village on State 9L, French Mountain has several trails and open slopes. At night the open slopes are lighted. Fine views of Lake George are to be had from the head of trails. There is a ski school and accommodations are obtainable on the site.
GLENS FALLS
A network of ski runs have been laid out on West Mountain, off US 9, five miles outside the city of Glens Falls, under the sponsorship and super- vision of the Glens Falls Recreation Commission. The heads of the trails command a view of the lakes to the east and much of Vermont can be seen in the distance.
Trail No. 1: The start is easy and slow, making it excellent for begin- ners. It is adjacent to the open slopes and gives the novice skiers a chance. The last two-thirds of this trail has several steep dips where turns and high speed make for interesting skiing. This trail and No. 2 cross Hillis Brook near the end for an added thrill.
Trail No. 2: The first few hundred feet of this trail is of the "Difficult A" variety, but the remainder is regarded as easy. Except for the first part, this trail can be used by youngsters, beginners, and older people who have no desire to risk life and limb. It is 3,500 feet long and includes near the end a small jump which may be detoured, or taken.
Trail No. 3: This trail is a little longer and not quite so fast as No. 4. The distance is 3,400 feet. Rated expert.
248
WARREN COUNTY GUIDE
Trail No. 4: Although this has been named No. 4, it is the first trail leading off the head trail. It is the fastest of the lot and the time required to transverse its 3,100 feet length is about a minute and a half. It is for expert skiers only.
Skiers are driven to head of trail in trucks, or may use their own cars. At Recreation Field, on US 9, within the city limits, are a lighted skating rink and a lighted toboggan slide. Hockey games are played on week- ends. Hotels and tourist homes provide ample accommodations.
LAKE GEORGE
Situated on US 9, Lake George is one of the better known of the County's winter resort centers. It has 27 miles of ski trails and open slopes on Cobble and Prospect Mountains. A toboggan slide extends from the main street to the shore of the lake. On the ice of the lake is a skating rink, a harness racing track, and facilities for ice-boating and ski-joring. Winter activities are under the auspices of the Lake George Winter Sports Club.
The downhill runs off Prospect (see Lake George) - Indian Trail, Prospect, Cobble Trail, Sky Way Trail, Will Wood Trail - range from 1.5 to 3 miles long and rate the designations "expert" and "intermediate." The Still-Pond Trail is a crosscountry run, crossing three and one-half miles of hills and woods from State 9K (Lake Luzerne road) to Lake George Village. Short ski trails lead into the 500-foot-wide open slopes on Cobble Mountain, which provide sport for the novice or expert. On Cobble is a ski-tow 2,400 feet long. Nearby, at the base of the open slopes are two ski houses with mammoth outdoor fireplaces.
Lake George has a ski school served by well known experts. Special winter accommodations are supplied by hotels and tourist homes. Snow trains and busses operate on week-ends when skiing conditions are favor- able. Those who come in their own cars will find US9 and tributary highways well plowed and sanded in winter.
LAKE LUZERNE
Trails off several mountains and open slopes on Stone Mountain offer a variety of skiing at Lake Luzerne and Hadley across the Hudson on State 9K. Skating, coasting, tobogganing, and harness racing on ice are added attractions.
The downhill trails are the Stone Mountain Run, one and one-half miles long, expert and intermediate; the Mt. Anthony Run, about 11/2 miles long, expert; the Dean Mountain Run, 11/4 miles long, novice; and the Song Hawk Run, 11/4 miles in length and rated intermediate. Across country for eight miles meanders the Sid Finch Trail, starting at the village and ending on the highway near the northeast shore of the lake.
249
WARREN COUNTY GUIDE
Ample winter accommodations are available at Lake Luzerne and Had- ley. The center is served by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and is easily accessible by US 9 and State 9K.
NORTH CREEK
Second only to Lake Placid as a winter sport center, North Creek, on State 28, boasts more than 50 miles of ski trails on Gore Mountain (3,595 alt.). Long before skiing brought thousands to its summit, a road to the garnet mines located here made the top of Gore easily accessible and gave the Gore Mountain Ski Club its winter slogan of "Ride Up, Slide Down." Other sports available are ski-joring, snowshoeing, tobogganing, skating, and sleigh rides. A ski school makes available a staff of instructors for full courses or single classes.
North Creek has nine downhill runs and an entire park of open slopes. Ranging from 2,000 feet to 19 miles long and rated from novice to decidedly expert, the trails are named the Half Way Brook, Pete Gay, Roaring Brook, Rabbit Pond, Ridge, Upper Cloud, Lower Cloud, Cross Trail, and Barton Cross Country. Over the Ridge is the park district of 250 acres, with diversified open slopes and two ski-tows. In all there are six ski-tows in the North Creek area.
On favorable week-ends, snow trains bring hundreds of winter sports followers to the village. US 9, State 8 and 28 and other highways are promptly plowed and sanded after storms. Lodges and tourist homes in North Creek and North River provide accommodations. In 1941 the resort completed a new $25,000 winter sports club house.
WARRENSBURG
Located on US 9, and served by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and several bus lines, Warrensburg has a central location for its two ski trails. A ski-tow, floodlighted at night, is available. The head of the ski runs may be reached by car. In addition to skiing, the Warrensburg Ski Club maintains facilities for skating and tobogganing.
The Bald Knob Trail is one and one-half miles long and is rated inter- mediate. Big Brook Trail, with a length of 11/2 miles, has a novice rating.
Hotels and tourist homes in the village provide a variety of accommo- dations.
