I saw this AP story in the local Syracuse media concerning avalanche conditions in the ADK High Peaks:
I guess it's worth considering if you're heading up, although I'm not sure how this snowfall could have been worse than that storm last April (for instance). I've never seen so much snow above 3,000'!!! In any case, the DEC website has no highlighted information about avalanches at this time.
So, leave the explosive charges and other avalanche-inducing toys at home this weekend. Also, no passing of gas on or near any existing slides.
