BACKCOUNTRY SKIING 

A Resort Skier’s Guide 

by Eric Schillinger 

If you live in the Northeast, chances are good that you fall into one of 

two categories this time of year: people that dread the onset of winter, 

and those who can’t wait to get out and play in the white stuff. If you’re 

like me, you can’t wait for winter, and celebrate at the fi rst sign of snow 

in the air. Of course, I am not alone. Every year thousands of hearty New 

Yorkers take to the snow covered slopes of the Adirondacks to ski and 

snowboard. Most of those people do so in the conventional way – that is, 

they ride a chairlift or gondola to the top of the mountain for lap after lap 

of great ski runs at the resorts. 

As of late though, there’s been a small but growing group of enthusiasts 

who prefer to avoid the crowds and costs associated with resort skiing, 

and instead seek to “earn their turns.” Ski touring, alpine touring, and 

ski mountaineering are each names you may hear thrown around with the 

concept of backcountry skiing. Here we’ll review the differences between 

the three standards of self-powered adventure skiing, and discuss gear 

and safety precautions to take into account with each. 

SKI TOURING 

First, let’s look at the most mild of the different styles of backcountry 

skiing, ski touring. Ski touring can be best described as cross-country 

skiing in more rugged, wooded terrain. Gear for ski touring is most similar 

to cross-country ski gear, but touring skis are typically wider and stronger, 

and boots are stiffer and heavier. Typically, ski touring doesn’t involve a lot 

of elevation change and these skis work best on fl at to rolling terrain. 

A good example of a classic ski tour is the trip from the Adirondak 

Loj to Marcy Dam. It’s certainly more rugged than cross-country skiing 

on a golf course, but there’s no serious mountain climbing or descending 

required. If you’re interested in climbing and skiing down the trails and 

slides accessible after you get to Marcy Dam however, you’ll need to 

graduate from touring skis to a full alpine touring ski setup. 

ALPINE TOURING 

Alpine touring or “AT” for short, takes the concept of ski touring and 

throws in rugged climbs and descents, and serious risks not associated

Outstanding Lesson Programs for 

Groups or Individuals of all ages!

www.AdkSports.com JANUARY 2011 3 

The cornerstone to any successful youth 

sports program is to instill in participating 

youth the enjoyment of the sport 

– the fun of it! Nordic skiing is no different. 

No one enjoys a fresh new snow more 

than kids. From snow angels to snow forts 

and sledding, they’re all popular ways to 

get kids out to enjoy our winter weather. 

Adding a pair of well-fitting ski boots and 

short skis is just another way of having 

fun on snow. Short skis provide a means 

of moving from one place to another with 

more efficiency than plodding through six 

or eight inches of new snow. 

Across New York there is a network of 

local ski clubs that offer a quasi-formal 

Bill Koch Youth Ski League Nordic ski program 

for youth 13 years and under. There 

are 17 local clubs, which vary in size 

from large clubs in the Rochester and 

Lake Placid area, to smaller family-based 

clubs in Potsdam, Saratoga Springs, and 

Southern Saratoga County. Some of these 

clubs are school-based programs such as 

highly successful Tupper Lake. 

This network comprises the youth 

program of the New York State Ski 

Racing Association – Nordic (NYSSRA- 

Nordic). Depending on facilities in the 

area, children may be able to try crosscountry 

skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined 

and ski orienteering – or even tennis 

ball, paintball or air-rifle biathlon. A 

complete list of local clubs and contacts

Youth Skiing in New York

ENJOYING FRESH SNOW 

WITH FOLLOW-THE-LEADER FUN.

A WILD EXPERIENCE. 

PHOTOS BY ERIC HAMILTON 

can be found at nyssranordic.com (click 

on “BKYSL”). 

The program is named for Olympic silver 

medalist Bill Koch. A native of nearby 

Vermont, Bill began skiing in the early 

1970s in a local ski club, and was an active 

Nordic combined skier before turning his 

efforts toward cross-country ski racing. In 

1976 he shocked the ski world with a silver 

medal in the 30-kilometer event at 

Innsbruck, Austria. A few years later, he 

won the World Cup series. He is often credited 

with starting the “skating revolution,” 

which so dramatically changed crosscountry 

skiing technique in the 1980s. 

This season got off to a slow start with a 

BKYSL race in Lake Placid that was rained 

out. But a couple of weeks later at Osceola 

(near Utica) there were over 30 young skiers 

participating from all over the state. 

These fun youth races are usually tied to 

a more competitive event like an Empire 

State Games qualifier or a community, 

county or state park’s winter festival. 

The program is not all about competition, 

though. I have been coaching the Bill 

Koch Youth Ski League for 20 years now. It 

has been my experience that only about 

one in ten children will take to racing. 

The biggest challenge is to get kids 

into comfortable clothing involving layers 

– the colder the weather, the more layers. 

The second challenge for parents is to 

obtain a comfortable ski boot that fits, but 

by Eric Hamilton 

has room in the toe area for an extra pair of 

socks and a pocket of insulating air. There 

are at least three systems of bindings that 

provide a secure and flexible connection 

to skis. Each works equally well for youth. 

I encourage one type in my club so families 

can trade and hand down equipment 

as children quickly outgrow at this age. 

Besides getting from one place to 

another, kids love games on snow. Nordic 

skis add a new dimension to a game of 

soccer. Tag games like red rover, capture 

the flag, or Ghostbusters are popular on 

skis. Ski games like follow-the-leader 

through an obstacle course are a sure 

winner for any age group. Play improves 

balance, perfects motor skis, and builds 

strength without focusing on a particular 

skill. 

One of the most fun games is a trademark 

of fellow coach Jim Underwood, the 

Wooly Mammoth Hunt. He picks out a 

wooded area with limited undergrowth, 

where he will place several dozen balloons 

of various colors and sizes, some 

near trails for younger children (more 

difficult terrain for older kids). The object 

is to bring back as many “hides” (balloons 

popped with ski poles) as possible. 

The high point of this year’s youth 

ski season will be the Mid-Atlantic Bill 

Koch Ski Festival at Highland Forest (near 

Syracuse) on Feb. 19-20. The weekend will 

include two championship races for kids 

(classic and freestyle), paintball biathlon, 

ski orienteering demos, a sprint race, 

hodgepodge relay, club relay, a popular 

hot dog roast, and an awards banquet to 

celebrate the season. 

Yes, I have plenty of stories and 

memories accumulated during my youth 

coaching career. With all the children that 

have passed through the program, there 

is at least one story for each. Perhaps my 

most memorable moment was pursuing 

a group of exuberant kids as they scrambled 

over a knoll with a newly-acquired 

skill toward the rose-colored setting sun 

– with snow flying everywhere!

BACKCOUNTRY SKIING continued from page 1 

with ski touring in the valleys of the Adirondacks. Due 

to the demands of the terrain, true AT ski gear has 

more in common with alpine ski gear than it does the 

cross-country like setups common in ski touring. AT 

skis are essentially lighter versions of downhill skis, 

but many backcountry skiers opt to use a true alpine 

ski as the foundation of their setup. I myself have 

toured on a pair of heavy Volkl skis with an alpine 

touring binding for a number of years. 

AT boots are similarly heavy-duty. Hard plastic, 

three or four buckle boots are standard. Many 

companies now offer lightened versions of their fullblown 

downhill boots, with Vibram rubber soles and 

walk modes that make traveling up the hill a relative 

breeze. The popularity of alpine touring has grown 

substantially in the United States over the last fi ve 

years as a result of high tech alpine touring gear starting 

to be imported from Europe. Increased access to 

AT equipment opened the doors to backcountry skiing 

all over North America. 

The real key to the AT setup is the binding. It 

works just like a standard binding on a downhill ski 

– the skier clicks into it with toe and heal, but there 

is one key difference. The rear of the binding can be 

released, allowing the binding to pivot up and down 

at the toe giving it a cross-country like functionality 

when skiing on fl at ground and up the hill. It’s 

a hybrid between a freeheel telemark binding and 

standard downhill binding – offering better touring 

than a telemark, with the full performance of a downhill 

binding. 

The AT binding is only half of the equation for backcountry 

ski effi ciency however – once the skier adds 

a “climbing skin” to the bottom of the ski, he or she 

has effectively transformed a strong and safe downhill 

setup into an effective cross-country ski. Climbing 

skins are made of a Velcro-like material and clip to 

the ski on the tip and tail and allow the ski to grab the 

snow and only slide forward like a cross-country ski. 

Combined with an AT binding they giving the ski an 

uphill capability usually reserved for snowshoes. 

With the added strength, durability, and functionality 

of an alpine touring setup, comes one disadvantage: 

weight. If a skier isn’t planning on tackling the 

rugged steeps of the High Peaks, there’s little need for 

the additional weight of an AT setup. Most experienced 

AT skiers will agree however, that when standing at the 

top of a step chute on a remote High Peak, the added 

assurance of having strong and reliable gear underfoot 

is well worth the weight penalty on the way up. 

Archery • Photography • Soccer • Arts 

A popular alpine touring destination in the High 

Peaks is Angel Slide on Wright Peak. If you’ve toured 

into Marcy Dam in the past, you’ll know Angel Slide 

as the exposed rock face visible to the south west of 

the dam, on the lower portion of Wright Peak. Where 

the touring ski is likely only to get skiers to Marcy 

Dam, the AT setup, combined with expert skills and 

proper safety gear, will allow them to go through the 

backwoods off-trail to the slide itself. 

With an AT setup, the skilled skier can ski up the 

mountain, then have the chance to make turns on 

natural, and potentially deep powder from the top of 

the slide. It’s a rush that any experienced AT skier will 

tell you – well worth the work it takes to get there. 

Angel Slide is a great place for expert alpine touring, 

but please keep in mind that it is not a beginner 

objective. You’ll need to be able to ski double black 

diamond terrain at resorts, and also have the fi tness 

to spend 12 to 14 hours climbing in the High Peaks 

before heading out to a location like Angel Slide. 

AVALANCHE RISK 

An immediate word of caution must be heeded 

when discussing backcountry skiing on Adirondack 

Slides. It is critical to understand that avalanches 

are a reality in backcountry skiing, and Angel Slide is 

the key example. A skier was killed in an avalanche 

at Angel Slide in the early 2000s, and last season 

another pair of skiers nearly lost their lives when 

the snow avalanched off the slide while they were 

skiing there. Avalanche fatalities have been rare in 

the Adirondacks, but in recent years the number of 

incidents of people being caught in an avalanche and 

narrowly surviving has increased dramatically. I suspect 

this is due to the increased number of people 

traveling in the Adirondacks in the winter – with 

growth in adventure skiing, comes an increased risk 

of exposure to dangerous conditions. 

There are three key safety items you must have 

to safely complete backcountry skiing objectives on 

Adirondack slides: the avalanche beacon, a probe and 

a shovel. The beacon is the key element in avalanche 

safety. It is simply a homing transceiver that each 

person in your party needs to wear in the backcountry. 

In the event that you are buried in an avalanche, 

a beacon gives the rest of your party a chance of 

fi nding you, and digging you out before you suffocate. 

The probe and shovel are key elements in the process 

as well. None of these things are a replacement 

for common sense though. You need to have a good 

understanding of how the snow pack develops, what

snow conditions are dangerous, and how to analyze 

the environment around you to make sure you’re 

safely traveling. 

I can’t possibly cover all of this here, so I’ll simply 

say it is critical to take an avalanche awareness 

course, which is offered in the region a few times 

each winter, and learn the necessary skills for safe 

backcountry travel before you plan on traveling in 

exposed parts of the High Peaks. 

SKI MOUNTAINEERING 

Not scared off yet by the risk of getting buried in 

snow? You may be ready for ski mountaineering, the big 

brother to alpine touring. Where AT adds challenging 

climbs and descents to the concept of ski touring, ski 

mountaineering adds the challenge of climbing and rappelling 

vertical cliffs and ice walls that are not skiable, in 

an effort to get to skiable terrain. In alpine touring, skins 

and an AT ski setup should get you anywhere you need 

to go. Once you start to mix in the need for crampons, 

ice axes, harnesses and ropes, you’ve crossed over into 

the fringe of the fringe – ski mountaineering. 

Traveling in the mountains and getting to the 

remote ski locations becomes a primary objective 

in ski mountaineering. Many ski mountaineers will 

set goals of skiing places no one else has skied. The 

accessibility of the objective typically becomes even 

more remote and diffi cult to get to with experienced 

ski mountaineers, and requires advanced ice climbing, 

winter camping and skiing abilities. 

In the Adirondacks, the classic ski mountaineering 

destination is Gothics. With a lengthy approach 

and steep rock faces, it requires a mixed bag of 

skills, from the ability to move quickly and effi ciently 

on the long approach, to ice climbing the north face

of the mountain before skiing the True North Slide 

and heading back to camp. It’s doable as a very long 

single day, but to me the trip makes perfect sense to 

match with winter camping in the Johns Brook Area. 

It’s certainly not a trip for the faint of heart, but it can 

be a rewarding day or two in the mountains for the 

strong backcountry adventurer. 

If you’re like me, and you love winter and skiing 

but are tired of lift lines and $80 lift tickets, its time 

to check out the backcountry. Beginner and intermediate 

skiers should start out with ski touring. Expert 

skiers should look into getting an AT setup and venturing 

into the mountains. If you already have some 

AT gear, consider pushing yourself a little further by 

learning mountaineering skills, and pushing yourself 

even further this winter.

the best way to spend a snowy day in the woods!

RUNNING AND WALKING 

Reading on the Run 

by Laura Clark 

I write entirely to find out what I’m 

thinking, what I’m looking at, what I 

see, and what it means. -Joan Didion 

hile running is basically a solitary 

Wsport, at some point even the loneliest 

long distance runner feels the need 

for a social life. Enter the casual running 

group, Internet blog and cozy bookstore. 

Joan Didion, essayist and early proponent 

of creative nonfiction, was correct: writing 

validates experience. 

But if those temptingly bound blankpaged 

journals or the latest blog site fills 

you with more terror than a stint of public 

speaking, do not despair. While we are all, 

as the running philosopher George Sheehan 

was wont to exclaim, “an experiment of 

one,” there is nevertheless a certain commonality 

of experience. Sample some of the 

books reviewed below and discover not only 

the latest training suggestions, but your own 

below-the-surface emotions. 

Outstripping all competitors is 

Christopher McDougall’s epic “Born to 

Run,” which broke the tape on the New 

York Times Best Seller List, advanced to the 

prestigious Notable Books Council Awards, 

and spawned a minimalist shoe revolution 

that basically overhauled the inventory of 

major shoe distributors. Superbly layered, 

this offering details the author’s compelling 

journey through cutting edge science to the 

desolate Copper Canyons, the last stand of 

the Tarahumara – an ancient tribe of super 

athletes. Along the way Christopher’s quest 

detours back and forth across time and 

space to the Western States Endurance Run, 

a persistence running hunt with Bushmen, 

and Bill Bowerman’s iconic waffle iron. 

While “Born to Run” is undoubtedly a 

tough act to follow, a sampling of three of 

the latest training tomes shortcut past the 

usual advice and into a New Age myth-busting 

frame of mind. In “The Runner’s Body: 

How the Latest Exercise Science Can Help 

You Run Stronger, Longer and Faster,” PhDs 

Ross Tucker and Jonathan Dugas advance 

beyond Dr. Noakes compendium, “The Lore 

of Running,” braving the final frontier in the 

mind over matter debate. 

Coach Matt Fitzgerald in “The Runner’s 

Edge: High-Tech Training for Peak Performance” 

takes us to the next level of heart rate 

monitor ownership, well beyond the basic 

stopwatch application where most of us stagnate, 

onto the fascinating world of data analysis. 

Bring on those charts and graphs! 

After all of that math, the prolific Matt 

Fitzgerald’s “Racing Weight” is a snap with 

its Diet Quality Score Chart, which requires 

a preschooler’s ability to count from one to 

two and back again. Best of all, Matt forgives 

a holiday weight gain below eight-percent 

of optimal training weight. No more January 

diets – for some of us, at least! 

Information, however, can only take 

you so far. Knowing what we should do is a 

far cry from actually doing it. This is where 

inspirational reading can pull you out of the 

doldrums and back into your running shoes 

even if it is dark and frigid outside. Like the 

proverbial mailman, neither weather nor a 

NYC transit strike could keep firefighter Matt 

Long from his appointed rounds – until he 

got crushed by a 20-ton bus making an illegal 

turn. In “The Long Run: A New York City 

Firefighter’s Triumphant Comeback from 

Crash Victim to Elite Athlete,” his physical 

and mental road to recovery – including finishing 

the 2009 Ironman Lake Placid – will 

make your run seem the privilege it truly is. 

Paraphrasing Ecclesiastes, “To every life 

there is a season,” so it goes with athletes. 

Overwhelmed moms often feel that the 24/7 

demands of motherhood make the simple 

act of going for a run rival the logistics of 

an Ironman event. Enter freelancers Dimity 

McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea and their 

“Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving 

– and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity” 

with practical, humorous insights on how to 

get the job done. A perfect baby shower gift to 

accompany that jogging stroller, a revelation 

to husbands everywhere, and a vision of the 

marathon at the end of the changing table… 

Midlife, Rachel Toor in “Personal 

Record: A Love Affair with Running” details 

her journey from intellectual couch potato 

to competitor to dater on the run to best 

friend and pacer. “The pay is great: a thank 

you and a kiss… are much more compelling 

than a PR or a Shiny Metal Object.” 

And then there are the baby boomers, 

now on their downhill descent toward old 

age. But that doesn’t have to mean falls and 

infirmities unless the tumbles are taken on 

the trail and the infirmities have to do with 

sports injuries. In “Second Wind: The Rise 

of the Ageless Athlete,” Lee Bergquist profiles 

70- and 80-year-old role models, demonstrating 

that despite the inroads of time, 

the human body still needs to be pushed 

to its true limit, whatever that particular 

threshold may be. 

While running is fun, those who do so 

without a break tend to get injured. Several 

recent offerings might just inspire you to 

take a more relaxed approach. Read “High 

Peaks: A History of Hiking the Adirondacks 

from Noah to Neoprene” and you will marvel 

at Tim Rowland’s irreverent parade of 

colorful guides, hermits and entrepreneurs, 

grand hotels and cutthroat lumbering, all 

coexisting as part of the public lands and 

private holdings patchwork that is the 

Adirondacks. While not a runner per se, 

Tim definitely possesses a runner’s mentality 

as he treasure maps his way to a 72-hour 

summit of Allen Mountain shortly after 

Hurricane Floyd chainsawed through. 

Getting down to business, Russell Dunn 

and Barbara Delaney’s latest offering is 

“Adirondack Trails with Tales: History 

Hikes through the Adirondack Park and 

the Lake George, Lake Champlain and 

Mohawk Valley Regions.” While you may 

have run Prospect Mountain’s 5.6-mile 

uphill road race, chances are you didn’t 

know that the trail crossing the memorial 

highway was constructed along the path of 

a funicular railroad that transported tourists 

to the now defunct Prospect Mountain 

House. While nature is its own reward, historical 

enhancement definitely adds to the 

experience. 

Who knows? After some armchair coaching 

and inspiration, you too, might feel compelled 

to jot down a few memories. Or at 

least open your running log once again.

ATHLETE PROFILE 

hen speedskater Petra Acker was 

Wyoung and attending morning sessions 

at the Knickerbacker Arena in Troy, 

her grandfather, himself an accomplished 

skater, would time her. 

“Opa, I know I can go faster!” the young 

Petra would exclaim. That is a phrase she 

can use again and again. The spirit to aim 

for a faster time has stayed with her since 

she started skating as a seven-year-old 

with her grandfather to fulfill her home 

school physical education requirement. 

Petra Acker’s grandfather is Howard 

Ganong, who has earned five National 

titles and two North American championships 

as a master’s skater. Petra and her 

family had returned from Africa, where 

her father was rebuilding an orphanage 

for Good Samaritan, a Christian relief 

organization. When she returned and 

entered the New York school system, she 

had to complete physical education units 

each year. Enter a grandfather with blades 

on his feet. 

After a couple of years of skating to 

keep physically fit with family, she realized 

it was more than just dodge ball for 

gym class... It was something more exciting. 

Jim “Casey” Wager, who had been 

coaching young skating athletes for many 

years, entered the picture. He coached her 

by starting with the basics – a teaching 

method that has made him the primary 

coach for young athletes in the region. 

After graduating, so to speak, from 

Casey’s developmental work in the morning, 

nine-year-old Petra started training 

with Capital District Speedskating Club, 

who used the ice at the Knickerbacker 

Arena for Monday night practices.

Petra 

Acker 

by Janit Stahl 

The foundation built by Casey has 

remained with Petra, who began her competitive 

career, expanded her training to 

include the Tuesday and Thursday night 

practices with the Saratoga Winter Club, 

one of the most successful short track 

speedskating teams in the country. 

“I think ever since I was little I was very 

competitive... I’m an only child too... I like 

to be with my friends and other people, 

but I am used to driving myself,” Petra says 

of her ability to stay focused in this sport 

where technical accuracy and extreme 

discipline are required for success. 

While she was skating at Knickerbacker, 

Paul Marchese, the technical advisor for 

the 2002 Olympic speedskating squad 

and coach of 2010 long track Olympian 

Trevor Marsicano from Ballston Spa was 

on the ice, “But he was working with the 

faster kids, like Trevor,” says Petra. 

Just a couple years later, Petra became 

“One of the faster kids.” She entered 

and won several of the regional races 

for speedskating in Rochester, Syracuse, 

Walpole (Mass.) and Newburgh – all part 

of the circuit familiar to skating families. 

These races are short track on 111-meter 

ice hockey rink. She liked the excitement 

and speed of the sport, which is entirely 

different not only in theory but by competitive 

standards than long track skating. 

The International Skating Union treats 

the short track and long track versions 

as entirely different sports – those who 

watched the Olympics in Vancouver can 

relate. The 400-meter oval long track races 

are match races with two skaters going 

head-to-head to get the best time. Short 

track is like roller derby with five skaters 

jockeying for position and close physical 

contact. 

It was a distinction that was becoming 

clearer to Petra as she trained and raced 

short track and long track in the past four 

years. She won the ladies division at the 

annual Jack Shea Sprints in Lake Placid on 

the Olympic Speedskating Oval for three 

years (’08, ’09, ‘10) locally, and took her 

talent to US Junior Long Track National 

Championship in Milwaukee for two 

years (’09 and ‘10), and earned first and 

second in her category. She was concurrently 

racing American Cup and US Junior 

Short Track championships. It was a lot of 

wear and tear on her body, one that was 

growing. The lanky girl was becoming a 

willowy young lady. And most short track 

speedskaters are not that tall (think fivefoot, 

eight-inch Apolo Anton Ohno). Petra 

is built more like the Dutch athletes that 

dominate the long track in international 

competition. 

“This is my first year just skating long 

track,” Petra says. “I started doing long 

track four years ago and I wanted to stay 

in short track, but Junior Worlds were the 

same weekend so I had to decide,” she 

explains. “It is difficult to switch back and 

forth.” 

“I think it fits my personality,” she 

asserts, of long track-style racing. “It is 

not as stressful,” says the teenager with 

an easy smile and a relaxed personality. 

In 2009, she was a member of the Junior 

World long track team that competed in 

Zakopane, Poland, and competed in the 

Junior World Cup in Calgary, earning a 

podium spot with a bronze in the 1,000 

meters. 

Petra won the 2011 US All-Around 

Speedskating Championship on Dec. 31 

in Kearns, Utah. She took first-place in the 

5,000-meter race (7:47.26, a PR), fourth 

in the 1,500-meter race (2:03.49, a PR), 

and fifth in the 500-meter race (41.39). 

She clinched the title when point leader 

Jilleanne Rookard skipped the 5,000- 

meter race. 

This year, Petra still has to qualify to 

be on the Junior Worlds team at a Petit 

Ice Arena meet in Milwaukee, which was 

the training ice for the 2010 Olympic 

team. If she qualifies in February she 

goes to the Junior World Championships 

in Finland, and a Junior World Cup in the 

Netherlands. 

“Next year, after high school graduation, 

I will be moving to Salt Lake City or 

Milwaukee to train,” the senior says. 

Her mother, Cindy, feels her competitive 

edge comes from understanding 

her God-given talent, and being driven by 

the responsibility for her potential to be 

realized. 

“In some ways it was very easy to have 

her at home. She always worked to complete 

her schoolwork and was even more 

driven when compared to her home school 

co-op classmates (at Grace Fellowship 

Church in Latham). Other than that, she 

is a diva a bit... She gets really tired from 

training,” says Cindy Acker. 

The family has gone on several missions, 

including spending last summer 

in Haiti. Petra brought along one of her 

greatest competitors in the sport, speedskater 

Rebecca Byrud. 

Ultimately she wants to be a child psychologist 

with the organization Love 146, 

a non-profit who rescues young women 

brought into the world of child prostitution. 

“Petra always knows it is not about 

just her, she has a lot to give,” says her 

mother. 

Although she has a serious and compassionate 

side, evident in her mission and 

social work, Petra has a lot of fun too. One 

of her favorite past times is ballroom dancing. 

She dances at the Fred Astaire Dance 

Studio in Latham, but this Ginger Rogers 

has some world-class dancing legs! 

In the immediate future, Petra is preparing 

for National Junior team qualification 

meet in Milwaukee. Ultimately, her 

goal is the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, 

Russia. Three years and lots of travel in 

between, but she is up for it. “I love to 

travel!”

SNOWSHOEING & CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING 

Explore a New Winter Loop at 

For many years, Chase Lake in northern 

Fulton County has been a quiet, 

little-known place. The trail was 

once used by snowmobiles, but today the 

few people who go there do so under their 

own power. With its lean-to, easy trail, and 

fine views of a mountain named simply 

the Pinnacle, Chase Lake would seem to 

have all the ingredients of a popular destination. 

Nevertheless, the DEC reported 

a few years ago that an average of 100 

people visited the lake annually. 

This may change, however. In the fall 

of 2010, a DEC crew built a new lean-to on 

the lake’s north shore that is far superior 

to the old site, which was located near a 

corner of the shoreline that was blocked 

by alders. The new site comes with a better 

view of the lake, and it is reached by 

such an easy hike that it is sure to become 

a favorite. 

Further, the creation of the new leanto 

also required the cutting of a new trail. 

Therefore from a single trailhead you can 

now reach Chase Lake in two ways – the 

original trail to the old lean-to site, and the 

new spur to the new site. Few people will 

choose to do both routes in the summer, 

but in the winter when the lake is securely 

frozen snowshoers and cross-country skiers 

can now make an exceptional route. 

HOW TO GET THERE 

From Northville, follow NY Route 30 

north for about three miles, where Benson 

Road bears left. Benson Road leads in 11.7 

miles to Pinnacle Road, a right turn that is 

also marked by a sign for the Adirondack 

Beagle and Hare Club. Drive to the end of 

Pinnacle Road, 2.6 miles away. 

THE TRAIL 

From the end of Pinnacle Road, follow 

the marked trail that leads off to the right. 

The trail was designed to circumvent

private land. It essentially parallels the 

boundary, leading north of east around a 

knoll, and then cutting southeast through 

a deep ravine. Beyond, you are so close to 

the private parcel that you can clearly see 

the difference between the cut-over forest 

and the mature stand on state land. 

After walking for 1.1 miles, you intercept 

the original trail and bear left to follow 

it. You are now on what appears to 

be an old woods road, following beside a 

wide draw that is unusual in its straight 

course and unchanging dimensions. 

Indeed much of the remaining hike to the 

lake passes through remarkably non-hilly 

terrain – a rare pause in the mountainous 

Adirondack landscape. 

At 1.8 miles you reach the new fork 

in the trail, marked by prominent trail 

signs. The original trail to the old lean-to 

site bears right, and the new trail continues 

straight ahead. The people who are 

mostly here to see the new lean-to will be 

invariably drawn in that direction. But if 

you can muster some patience, I recommend 

heading to the old site first and 

crossing the ice to the new site. The views 

will reveal themselves more favorably in 

this direction. 

So, turning right, the trail dips to cross 

a small stream and eventually resumes 

its east-northeast course to the old leanto 

site near the south end of the lake, 2.6 

miles from Pinnacle Road. This site was 

not particularly well-suited to allow its 

guests to consider the scenic charms of 

Chase Lake, and this was likely why it left 

a bland impression with so many of its 

visitors. It is now a perfectly functional 

tent site, though it is hard to imagine that 

many people will prefer this spot over the 

new lean-to. 

To complete the loop, continue 

through the alders to the open expanse of 

the frozen lake. While the western shore 

is hemmed in with extensive marshlands, 

the eastern shore has a number of rocky 

points, each one capped with a scenic 

tent site. They are in a prime position to 

take in the view of the Pinnacle, with the 

reddish-colored cliffs draped across the 

northern shoulder of the mountain. For 

the few people who take the time to cross 

to this shore in winter, Chase Lake takes 

on a whole new dynamic. 

The new lean-to site is very visible on 

the north shore, thanks in part to a questionable 

amount of tree cutting. Unlike 

many newer lean-tos, this one is located a 

comfortable distance from the lake’s edge 

and features fine views. It is just a 0.5-mile 

trek across the pond from the old site to 

the new site. 

To complete the loop, look for the 

new marked trail leading west-southwest 

from the shelter, quickly leaving the shore 

of the pond. It cuts across a low hill and 

comes to a small creek with rocky banks. 

You cross this creek at 0.5-mile, and without 

a bridge it could be a tricky crossing 

during a thaw. Otherwise, it is an easy hike 

for the next 0.5-mile back to the junction 

to close the loop, and then for the last 1.8 

miles you are following your tracks back 

to Pinnacle Road. 

The total distance of 5.9 miles will 

require about three hours of walking time, 

not counting breaks and additional explorations.

FROM THE EDITOR 

2011 

Happy New Year! So what am I looking 

to accomplish in 2011? As athletes we are 

used to working toward goals, but often 

we’ll set a race goal, and then just stop 

training once the race is over. The point 

of a resolution is not just to accomplish 

one thing and then quit, but to make 

long-lasting changes for the better. So I’m 

going to take a stab at one single thing I 

can do from now on that will make a great 

difference in my life this year and for years 

to come. 

Sleep. I’m going to go to bed earlier 

because I think that it will positively 

impact my life in so many ways. Some nights will be more difficult than others, but I 

will always try. No more zoning out in front of the TV when there’s nothing on and no 

more reading until the wee hours. By going to bed earlier, I will start getting up earlier. 

I’ll workout in the morning and expect to be more productive and creative in my job. 

More sleep will also improve my long-term health and 

wellness. 

Going forward as a business, we will resolve to back 

up our data daily – again! While on vacation, Darryl’s 

hard drive crashed resulting in a very extensive recovery 

process. Luckily, we’ve got a great consultant (thanks 

Mike, of Integrated Technology Resources!) and good 

insurance. However, thus the delayed January issue. 

The good news is we are up and running again with 

all of our data restored! Thanks for your patience and 

enjoy the issue! 

Best,

AROUND THE REGION News Briefs 

Adirondack Ice: A Cultural 

and Natural History 

SARANAC LAKE – Ice has determined the 

course of Adirondack history in many surprising 

ways. Adirondack Ice: a Cultural 

and Natural History by Caperton Tissot of 

Saranac Lake traces the evolution of that 

influence, touching on everything from ice 

industries, and transportation to recreation 

and accidents. In 360 pages of personal stories, 

observations and over 200 historic and 

contemporary photos, the Caperton pays 

tribute to a fast disappearing era. 

Reviews: “This book, providing a relatively 

unknown history of ice in the region, is very 

thought provoking. It describes the cultural 

relationships over the years and ends with a 

discussion of climate change and how this 

will reshape ice and associated activities 

in the future.” –Elizabeth Lowe, Region 5 

Director of NYS DEC, and founder of The 

Wild Center. 

“My favorite moment each year is when 

winter takes control and friction loses its 

grip – when all of a sudden even the ungainly 

among us acquire a kind of grace as we skim 

across the world. This captures every element 

of that moment. I hope only that those 

who read it will rise to the defense of winter, 

so that we can keep the great warming at 

bay.” – Bill McKibben, author, activist, and 

resident scholar at Middlebury College. 

“Adirondack Ice illuminates the history 

of our relationship with a defining element 

of winter. Valued and reviled, ice is an 

unavoidable fact of life in the Adirondacks. 

As Caperton points out, it has ‘substantially 

determined the natural, economic, and 

cultural history of the North Country, yet it 

is an often overlooked and underappreciated 

influence.” –Laura Rice, chief curator, 

The Adirondack Museum.

THE NON-MEDICATED LIFE 

Treating 

Sleep 

Apnea 

by Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP 

edicines are a mainstay of American 

Mlife and the healthcare system not 

only because they are perceived to work 

by the individual taking them, but also 

because their benefit may be shown by 

the objective assessment of scientific 

study. Clinical research trials have shown 

that some of the medicines of Western science 

may reduce the risk of heart attacks, 

strokes and cardiovascular death. 

In the first 39 installments of The Non- 

Medicated Life, informed diet and lifestyle 

have been shown to accomplish naturally 

for the majority of individuals, many, if 

not most of the benefits of medications. 

Interestingly this also extends to the benefits 

of medical devices and surgery in the 

case of sleep apnea. 

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a 

condition in which an individual stops 

breathing for short periods during sleep. 

The bed partner of the individual is usually 

the first to recognize something is 

awry. The abnormal breathing pattern 

is made obvious because most individuals 

with sleep apnea snore, sometimes 

loudly. Periodically this rhythmic snoring 

is interrupted by a prolonged period 

of no breathing and hence silence. It is 

during this silence that serious damage 

is done leading to high blood pressure, 

heart arrhythmias, heart failure, and a 

predisposition to daytime sleepiness that 

may cause serious injury if an individual 

falls asleep while driving or operating 

machinery. 

This is the 40th in a series on optimal 

diet and lifestyle to help prevent 

and treat heart disease. Any planned 

change in diet, exercise or treatment 

should be discussed with and 

approved by your personal physician 

before implementation. The help of a 

registered dietitian in the implementation 

of dietary changes is strongly 

recommended. 

The mechanism of obstructive sleep 

apnea seems fairly straightforward. As an 

individual falls asleep the muscles in the 

neck and throat relax. In normal individuals 

without this condition, there is sufficient 

resiliency of throat tissues to resist 

the loss of muscle tone, which partially 

holds structures in position as we assume 

a supine posture. 

But in individuals predisposed to OSA, 

such relaxation may actually cause the 

airway to collapse. The first signs of collapse 

is snoring which is actually an initial 

partial collapse resulting in the typical 

staccato sound as air under the increased 

pressure of inspiration forces its way past 

obstructing structures including tonsils, 

adenoids and soft palate. As one enters 

the deeper stages of sleep the muscular 

relaxation becomes more pronounced 

thereby increasing the obstruction. 

Ultimately, there is complete collapse and 

a period of apnea or no breathing. 

During the period of apnea, oxygen 

levels in the blood drop and carbon dioxide 

levels rise. Low oxygen levels can cause 

blood vessels in the lungs to constrict and 

make it harder for the right heart to pump 

blood through the lungs to the left side of 

the heart. Over time such a condition can 

cause the right side of the heart to fail. 

Low oxygen levels can also cause the heart 

muscle cells to become irritable and such 

irritability may predispose to abnormal 

rhythms of the heart some of which may 

be life threatening. These same conditions 

may result in high 

blood pressure which 

may increase the risk of 

heart attack and stroke. 

The period of apnea 

will last until the need 

for oxygen takes precedence 

over the need to spend time in the 

deeper stages of sleep. Survival programs 

will activate and the individual will arouse 

from sleep, muscle tone in throat structures 

will increase, and the individual will 

take a breath or a gasp ending the period 

of apnea. This process may be repeated 

many times during a night with the total 

time spent in the deeper stages of sleep 

severely reduced thereby ensuring another 

hallmark of OSA, excess sleepiness during 

waking hours. 

Individuals who have snoring, excess 

daytime sleepiness, and witnessed apneas 

during sleep should discuss with their 

physician possible screening for obstructive 

sleep apnea. Screening may be 

achieved with a sleep study or polysomnogram 

completed at a sleep lab. Those 

with diagnosed sleep apnea may consult 

further with an Otolaryngologist (ENT) or 

Pulmonologist. 

Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea 

may involve a device, surgery, or behavior/lifestyle 

changes. Devices include an 

oral appliance which repositions the jaw 

to improve air flow and C-PAP device consisting 

of mask and air compressor that is 

used to force air under pressure into the 

upper airway to counteract the tendency 

for collapse. Surgery may involve removal 

of the tonsils and adenoids and a removal 

of portions of the soft palate to make the 

opening for air flow bigger and less prone 

to collapse. The oral appliance is used 

generally for those with less severe OSA. 

C-PAP is effective in those who tolerate 

the device, unfortunately many patients 

have problems adjusting to the mask or 

increased air flow. Surgery is reserved for 

severe OSA or for those not amenable to 

the less invasive approaches. 

For individuals with obstructive sleep 

apnea who are overweight or obese, 

behavior and lifestyle changes that promote 

weight loss may cure OSA simply 

with the shedding of pounds. While not 

easy, weight loss is much less expensive 

than the other approaches, may work as 

well or better than other approaches, and 

carries with it the additional benefits of 

improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol 

and blood sugar. All diets which 

reduce caloric intake and total calories 

should work equally well. A daily modest 

exercise such as walking may help as well 

by burning calories. 

In summary, obstructive sleep apnea is 

a serious medical problem characterized 

by excessive snoring, witnessed periods of 

apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness. 

OSA increases the risk of heart failure, high 

blood pressure, irregular, and possibly life 

threatening heart rhythms, as well as heart 

attacks and strokes. Treatment for OSA 

exists in the form of dental devices, C-PAP 

and surgery. At the same time informed diet 

and lifestyle resulting in weight loss in those 

who are overweight or obese may correct this 

condition and avoid these more invasive and 

expensive approaches to address this correctable, 

albeit serious medical problem.
