As of November 28, the Catskills have snow cover down to the valley floors. The natural snow cover in the lowest elevations is a still a little thin for the best cross country skiing but there is deep snow requiring snowshoes for travel in the higher elevations. Not bad for November! Contact us now for more information or to reserve the dates for your Catskill guided hiking / snowshoeing / cross-country skiing adventure:
We led a mixed group of Catskill 3500 Club aspirants and ADK members to these two “bushwhack” summits. The day started out quite warm in the morning but got progressively cooler and windier, especially at the summits where temperatures were in the 40’s when we got there.
We hiked Rocky via the slightly less traditional route of an out and back from Moon Haw Road. Passing over Balsam Cap in both directions was a nice addition, but Rocky was the prime objective for this hike because it was G’s 35th for her winter round. 
Our group of 6 bushwhacked North Dome and Sherrill mountains on a late winter day that featured a mix of sunshine and occasional flurries. The deep snow allowed for plenty of horseplay glissading down the snowshoe track that we repacked.
