Skiing with the Saints DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, South Colton received more rain that we did in the Canton/Potsdam area the past few days\, so the ski conditions at the park are poor and the snow cannot be groomed at this time.\nTherefore\, we are choosing to postpone the Ski with a Saint event until conditions improve.\nDo your snow dances!\nJenny \nPOSTPONED: Please join the Varsity Nordic Ski Team on Saturday as they lead cross-country ski games and activities for kids on snow. Athletes are also willing to offer a FREE adult cross country ski lesson- contact Ethan Townsend (etownsend@stlawu.edu) by Friday at noon to reserve a spot. \nSki rentals are available at the park on a first-come\, first-served basis.

We did not anticipate this would be possible but the forecast changed slightly. With the temperatures hovering near freezing\, conditions could be soft and slow or slick. Remember that the E-Z trail is lit with motion lights\, but skiing otherwise is with headlamps. If memory serves\, tonight is a full moon\, but cloudy. For general info about night skiing.

Thursday looks iffy\, so if you want a night of skiing this week\, tonight is the best choice. Just a reminder that night skiing is a privilege we have been granted\, not a right. Please be courteous to your host and the Park Supervisor\, who has already put in a full day\, by being out of the Park at or before 8:00 P.M. Late skiers make for a very long day\, particularly on those days when plowing starts at 5:00 A.M. \nAdditional info: https://www.higleyfriends.org/project/night-skiing/ URL:https://www.higleyfriends.org/event/night-skiing/ LOCATION:Higley Flow State Park\, 442 Cold Brook Dr\, Colton\, 13625\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240121T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240121T153000 DTSTAMP:20260828T084613 CREATED:20240109T203259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240109T210804Z UID:10000005-1705843800-1705851000@www.higleyfriends.org SUMMARY:Adult Nordic Ski Lessons DESCRIPTION:Hooray\, the snow is here! Now we can enjoy a North Country winter skiing at Higley Flow State Park! If you want to learn to ski\, or to enjoy the sport more by improving your technique\, please join us.\nStarting January 21st\, a series of 4 consecutive Sunday lessons are planned from 1:30 till 3 pm. The first lesson is free and you can register for three additional lessons for $30. Lessons are based on a web-based program developed by Nordic Ski Lab in Calgary\, Alberta\, only with real\, live\, Higley skiers coaching you!\nThe final lesson will coincide with the Community Ski Challenge (February 9-11) and the miles we ski will be recorded to help Higley participants virtually ski across New York State.\nRental skis are available at the Higley Flow State Park headquarters before the lesson for only $7 per adult.\nAs ever\, I would love to recruit experienced skiers who are willing to donate a couple of Sundays to help coach. It is easy\, fun\, and rewarding to help others enjoy the sport we love so much.\nIf you are interested in pre-registering for lessons\, helping coach\, or just want more information\, please contact me at nordicmasters@higleyfriends.org and I will add you to our mailing list. You may also keep an eye on the Friends of Higley Flow website higleyfriends.org or our Facebook page.\n Danielle Jerry URL:https://www.higleyfriends.org/event/adult-nordic-ski-lessons/2024-01-21/ LOCATION:Higley Flow State Park\, 442 Cold Brook Dr\, Colton\, 13625\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.higleyfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/1st-Place-Winter-Adults-Abby-Warner-Into-the-Light-5.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231104T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231104T130000 DTSTAMP:20260828T084613 CREATED:20230807T220711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251014T224318Z UID:10000001-1699088400-1699102800@www.higleyfriends.org SUMMARY:Fall Trail's Day 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. \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 4th. The purpose of the workday is to put the trails in the Park into top shape for winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. \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 Those volunteering\, with the capability to do so\, are asked to download\, print and complete a volunteer waiver beforehand. Waivers are on the group’s website: www.higleyfriends.org . 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. \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. \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.
