SUMMARY:Community Ski Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Higley Flow are inviting cross-country skiers (young and old) to join a ski event on January 30th – February 1st. (Please note that this is a new date due to a postponement on account of frigid tempuratures forecast for the weekend of January 25th)   Our goal is to see if we as a community of Higley skiers can ski 1) 145 miles across the North Country; 2) 325 miles across New York State; 3) maybe making 950 miles to Wisconsin and the start of the American Birkebeiner (first ski loppet in the US)\, or 4) 2\,190 miles to Yellowstone and more great skiing.  (It may take us more than a year to make it to Yellowstone\, but it’s a big country). \n\n\n\nWe want each skier to record the miles they skied daily over these three days on a poster-sized spreadsheet in the Higley Lodge.  If you cannot track your miles electronically\, we have a chart with trail names and distances to help.  Our goal is see how many skiers appreciate skiing Higley Trails and with our good imaginations can dream we are skiing across New York and the U.S.  \n\n\n\nThis is the fourth year of the Community Ski Challenge and we hope to beat last years’ record of 826 miles. Many skied multiple times resulting in 180 entries over the 3-day event. JOIN US.

SUMMARY:Adult Nordic Ski Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Assuming the snow continues\, the Friends will offer Nordic ski lessons again this year. Our working model for lessons is to offer 4 consecutive Sunday sessions from 1:30 – 3:00pm — starting on January 11th.  The first lesson is free to let people see what it is like without committing.  On January 18th\, interested skiers must donate $30 for the remaining 3 lessons.  It is a bargain and we do not prorate missed lessons.  \n\n\n\nWe offer 3 levels of instruction.  I lead the true beginner skiers (Neophytes)\, those who have  never tried Nordic skiing more than some shuffling in the woods\, and don’t know technique.  Jenny Townsend teaches the second level.  These Advanced Beginners have skied for a while but may not have good technique or are not comfortable going down the bigger Higley hills.  Intermediates are coached by Bob Platte and are comfortable going down any of the Higley hills (even Raquette Ridge\, albeit slowly).  And most importantly\, intermediates can ski up the big road-hill and keep up with their classmates! \n\n\n\nThe first two lessons use classic technique for all levels.  If there is interest\, we offer skate skiing instruction for lessons 3 and 4 at the intermediate level.   \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, for you good and devoted Higley skiers\, we are always looking for assistant coaches.  And\, I’m hoping last year’s assistant coaches will continue to volunteer.  Jenny and I already know we each will miss one Sunday\, and we need substitutes as well as those who just want to help.  Trust me\, it is very rewarding to give back to the sport we love\, by helping others improve their technique.  CONTACT ME if interested and THANK YOU\, in advance. \n\n\n\nDanielle Jerry \n\n\n\nnordicmasters@higleyfriends.org

SUMMARY:Fall Trail's Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Higley Flow State Park anticipate a robust winter season this year. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing the trails at Higley are a way for families to get outside in the fresh\, crisp air of the winter months. \n\n\n\nIn preparation for the season\, the Friends will host a trails day at the Park from 9:00 A.M. to approximately 1:00 P.M. on Saturday\, November 1st. The purpose of the workday is to put the trails in the Park into top shape for winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. \n\n\n\nMuch work which required machinery has been done over the summer and fall months by Park staff. What remains is the final dressing up and light trimming on the trails. \n\n\n\n Those volunteering\, with the capability to do so\, are asked to download\, print and complete a volunteer waiver (PDF) and optional Photo Release (PDF) beforehand. When entering the Park\, volunteers will stop at the camping toll booth\, where the waivers will be collected. Those who can’t complete a waiver ahead will be given one to complete in their vehicle. Volunteers needing to complete one onsite are asked to bring a pen. \n\n\n\nThere will be a group picture this year and volunteers are encouraged to take some candid photos to share. Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy shoes\, and may want to wear work gloves. The Park has some tools for volunteers to use\, but volunteers may also bring their own loppers\, rakes\, etc. \n\n\n\nA list of jobs needing completing will be posted on the website and Facebook page. Volunteers can identify the area they wish to work on when handing in their waivers. The attendant will tell them where to go to get instructions and equipment for their area.

SUMMARY:Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Higley Flow State Park and the April 8th Solar Eclipse \nHigley Flow State Park will be open to the public for day use from 8:00A.M. to Sunset on Apr. 8th as it is every day of the year.  The beach is an ideal spot for viewing the eclipse. The Park has a limited number of free glasses to offer those in attendance.\nThere is a playground\, a pavilion\, and several charcoal grills in the beach area. There is no water down at the beach and in the campground area this time of year\, as buildings are not heated and it is too cold to activate underground water lines. Water and two bathrooms are available at the Nature Center/Lodge and the two more at the Main Office. There is no camping at the Park until Victoria Day weekend.\nAttendees are invited to enjoy the amenities the Park has to offer while respecting its beauty by carrying out what was carried in. Park employees will be on hand to answer questions and offer any assistance needed.

SUMMARY:Night Skiing
DESCRIPTION:Flat grooming went better than expected. All the normally groomed woods trails except Warm Brook and Raquette Ridge are flat groomed with adequate coverage. E-Z and New Pine in particular are groomed wide enough for skate skiing. There is a semblance of trackset on the very edge of the road down as far as the old nature center. The road was already opened up and while covered is not skiable. \nEnjoy another night of skiing from 6 until 8:00 P.M.

SUMMARY:Higley Ski Challenge - UPDATED\, Again!
DESCRIPTION:UPDATED\, Again! \nAssuming we get snow as forecast\, we should have good trail conditions to host our 3rd Annual Community Ski Challenge at Higley starting Friday\,  February\, 23 through Sunday\, February 25.  The goal of the Community Ski Challenge is for Higley skiers to record the distance they ski on these dates.  We want to track how many miles we as a community of skiers can cover on a weekend at Higley.  The Challenge is for all ages and ski abilities.  There will be a large spread sheet posted at the Lodge with a chart listing trail segment distances.  We will total miles skied each day of the event and with enough participants we may be able to virtually ski across New York State  – 325 miles\, or maybe even farther.  Come join us and ski that weekend at Higley.   \nDanielle Jerry \nnordicmasters@higleyfriends.org

SUMMARY:Night Skiing
DESCRIPTION:Your host for skiing tonight will be Lauren Diamond-Brown. We have suspended grooming until temperatures cool. There are bare spots appearing\, particularly in the track sets. Skiing tonight would best be done before total darkness and outside the trackset. We are not on the trails so cannot evaluate how many bare spots are out there. Some had appeared on E-Z and Overlook late yesterday afternoon. The roads should have the best coverage. Grooming with the Tucker compresses the surface and tends to preserve it better than our lighter equipment.
