Ski Area: Overlook Mtn Fire Tower Road near Woodstock, NY
Date(s) Skied: 1/08/2005
Conditions: Center of road PP, sides of road powder/loose frozen granular
Trip Report: Awesome day for hike up the Fire Tower road to the Overlook Fire Tower. This is not a ski resort. So I had to earn my turns. I put my alpine ski boots and skis on my back pack and hiked up. The fire tower road is not used by any motorized vehicles in the winter. It is well hiked and the center of the road was packed down by foot traffic and snowshoes. No other ski or snowboard tracks other than mine. Most frequent question was, "have you done this before". My answer, "yes".
I did meet this couple on the way up. I said to the guy I know you somewhere. He said, " did you ever give blood" Oh yeah your one of the nurses that takes my blood donation.
Back to the report here are some pictures from the top of Overlook Mountain near Woodstock, NY today.
