This morning I am listening to the loons over coffee. What a beautiful and quiet place. Must come back for summer canoeing and hiking, perhaps even some x-country skiing this winter. Thank you!"

At the turn of the century, only a few hearty souls braved the long winters in the Adirondacks. Hotels, businesses, and most of the wood-frame dwellings in the area were boarded up until tourists returned the following summer. The 1932 Winter Olympics changed people's minds about wintering in the Adirondacks. A Winter Sports Association was formed and week-long winter celebrations became the norm, that even included baseball tournaments played on snowshoes. Ski trail, toboggan runs and skating facilities were constructed. McCauley Mountain Ski Resort in nearby Old Forge was built and is about to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. It is still a popular spot for both Alpine and Nordic skiing. Snow machines were introduced and used primarily by loggers to mark trees in the winter months. By the 1960s their recreational use became an important part of winter activities in the area, which has now been labeled the "Snowmobile Capital of the East!" Over 500 miles of groomed trails are maintained by the town.

The long winters can be a little bleak, but seem to fine tune the funny bone of area residents. The popular St. Patty's Day parade in nearby Old Forge give evidence of the way the long dark winter months bring out one's sense of humor: the parade features a "Synchronized Snowplow" demonstration. Read more about local events in the online version of the Adirondack Express. It has been said that the Adirondacks have four seasons, all of which can be experienced in a single day in April.

The construction of a 27,000 sq. ft. Arts Center gives evidence of the area's long-standing interest in the arts and humanities.
