Tue, Feb 24: Towpath Trail (Akron, OH)

Center Road parking lot, Clinton
What a fine day skiing! The extra inch we got overnight was staying powdery. Easy skiing on this multi purpose trail. Went South to Lock 2 and back. North would probably be good too from there.
Get out! It's not going to last!

Mon, Feb 23: Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (PA)

6" of fresh snow at the Rte. 271 trailhead area. Good skiing on the gated forest roads, but not enough snow to carve downhill turns--negotiate, but not carve. Remember, the huge snow-depth gauge on web cam at Rte. 653 generally reads low. How can that be you say? My theory is that something about the sheer size of the thing and/or proximity to the building affects the snow depth around it. As the snow gets higher and higher, the measurement bias seems to get worse and worse. At any rate, going off my experience reading that snow gauge, and the snow I skied on 40 miles north of there at Rte. 271...I think there is a little more snow in the southern highlands than the north.
