BACKCOUNTRY SKIING<br />
A Resort Skier’s Guide<br />
by Eric Schillinger<br />
If you live in the Northeast, chances are good that you fall into one of<br />
two categories this time of year: people that dread the onset of winter,<br />
and those who can’t wait to get out and play in the white stuff. If you’re<br />
like me, you can’t wait for winter, and celebrate at the fi rst sign of snow<br />
in the air. Of course, I am not alone. Every year thousands of hearty New<br />
Yorkers take to the snow covered slopes of the Adirondacks to ski and<br />
snowboard. Most of those people do so in the conventional way – that is,<br />
they ride a chairlift or gondola to the top of the mountain for lap after lap<br />
of great ski runs at the resorts.<br />
As of late though, there’s been a small but growing group of enthusiasts<br />
who prefer to avoid the crowds and costs associated with resort skiing,<br />
and instead seek to “earn their turns.” Ski touring, alpine touring, and<br />
ski mountaineering are each names you may hear thrown around with the<br />
concept of backcountry skiing. Here we’ll review the differences between<br />
the three standards of self-powered adventure skiing, and discuss gear<br />
and safety precautions to take into account with each.<br />
SKI TOURING<br />
First, let’s look at the most mild of the different styles of backcountry<br />
skiing, ski touring. Ski touring can be best described as cross-country<br />
skiing in more rugged, wooded terrain. Gear for ski touring is most similar<br />
to cross-country ski gear, but touring skis are typically wider and stronger,<br />
and boots are stiffer and heavier. Typically, ski touring doesn’t involve a lot<br />
of elevation change and these skis work best on fl at to rolling terrain.<br />
A good example of a classic ski tour is the trip from the Adirondak<br />
Loj to Marcy Dam. It’s certainly more rugged than cross-country skiing<br />
on a golf course, but there’s no serious mountain climbing or descending<br />
required. If you’re interested in climbing and skiing down the trails and<br />
slides accessible after you get to Marcy Dam however, you’ll need to<br />
graduate from touring skis to a full alpine touring ski setup.<br />
ALPINE TOURING<br />
Alpine touring or “AT” for short, takes the concept of ski touring and<br />
throws in rugged climbs and descents, and serious risks not associated<br />

The cornerstone to any successful youth<br />
sports program is to instill in participating<br />
youth the enjoyment of the sport<br />
– the fun of it! Nordic skiing is no different.<br />
No one enjoys a fresh new snow more<br />
than kids. From snow angels to snow forts<br />
and sledding, they’re all popular ways to<br />
get kids out to enjoy our winter weather.<br />
Adding a pair of well-fitting ski boots and<br />
short skis is just another way of having<br />
fun on snow. Short skis provide a means<br />
of moving from one place to another with<br />
more efficiency than plodding through six<br />
or eight inches of new snow.<br />
Across New York there is a network of<br />
local ski clubs that offer a quasi-formal<br />
Bill Koch Youth Ski League Nordic ski program<br />
for youth 13 years and under. There<br />
are 17 local clubs, which vary in size<br />
from large clubs in the Rochester and<br />
Lake Placid area, to smaller family-based<br />
clubs in Potsdam, Saratoga Springs, and<br />
Southern Saratoga County. Some of these<br />
clubs are school-based programs such as<br />
highly successful Tupper Lake.<br />
This network comprises the youth<br />
program of the New York State Ski<br />
Racing Association – Nordic (NYSSRA-<br />
Nordic). Depending on facilities in the<br />
area, children may be able to try crosscountry<br />
skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined<br />
and ski orienteering – or even tennis<br />
ball, paintball or air-rifle biathlon. A<br />

PHOTOS BY ERIC HAMILTON<br />
can be found at nyssranordic.com (click<br />
on “BKYSL”).<br />
The program is named for Olympic silver<br />
medalist Bill Koch. A native of nearby<br />
Vermont, Bill began skiing in the early<br />
1970s in a local ski club, and was an active<br />
Nordic combined skier before turning his<br />
efforts toward cross-country ski racing. In<br />
1976 he shocked the ski world with a silver<br />
medal in the 30-kilometer event at<br />
Innsbruck, Austria. A few years later, he<br />
won the World Cup series. He is often credited<br />
with starting the “skating revolution,”<br />
which so dramatically changed crosscountry<br />
skiing technique in the 1980s.<br />
This season got off to a slow start with a<br />
BKYSL race in Lake Placid that was rained<br />
out. But a couple of weeks later at Osceola<br />
(near Utica) there were over 30 young skiers<br />
participating from all over the state.<br />
These fun youth races are usually tied to<br />
a more competitive event like an Empire<br />
State Games qualifier or a community,<br />
county or state park’s winter festival.<br />
The program is not all about competition,<br />
though. I have been coaching the Bill<br />
Koch Youth Ski League for 20 years now. It<br />
has been my experience that only about<br />
one in ten children will take to racing.<br />
The biggest challenge is to get kids<br />
into comfortable clothing involving layers<br />
– the colder the weather, the more layers.<br />
The second challenge for parents is to<br />
obtain a comfortable ski boot that fits, but<br />
by Eric Hamilton<br />
has room in the toe area for an extra pair of<br />
socks and a pocket of insulating air. There<br />
are at least three systems of bindings that<br />
provide a secure and flexible connection<br />
to skis. Each works equally well for youth.<br />
I encourage one type in my club so families<br />
can trade and hand down equipment<br />
as children quickly outgrow at this age.<br />
Besides getting from one place to<br />
another, kids love games on snow. Nordic<br />
skis add a new dimension to a game of<br />
soccer. Tag games like red rover, capture<br />
the flag, or Ghostbusters are popular on<br />
skis. Ski games like follow-the-leader<br />
through an obstacle course are a sure<br />
winner for any age group. Play improves<br />
balance, perfects motor skis, and builds<br />
strength without focusing on a particular<br />
skill.<br />
One of the most fun games is a trademark<br />
of fellow coach Jim Underwood, the<br />
Wooly Mammoth Hunt. He picks out a<br />
wooded area with limited undergrowth,<br />
where he will place several dozen balloons<br />
of various colors and sizes, some<br />
near trails for younger children (more<br />
difficult terrain for older kids). The object<br />
is to bring back as many “hides” (balloons<br />
popped with ski poles) as possible.<br />
The high point of this year’s youth<br />
ski season will be the Mid-Atlantic Bill<br />
Koch Ski Festival at Highland Forest (near<br />
Syracuse) on Feb. 19-20. The weekend will<br />
include two championship races for kids<br />
(classic and freestyle), paintball biathlon,<br />
ski orienteering demos, a sprint race,<br />
hodgepodge relay, club relay, a popular<br />
hot dog roast, and an awards banquet to<br />
celebrate the season.<br />
Yes, I have plenty of stories and<br />
memories accumulated during my youth<br />
coaching career. With all the children that<br />
have passed through the program, there<br />
is at least one story for each. Perhaps my<br />
most memorable moment was pursuing<br />
a group of exuberant kids as they scrambled<br />
over a knoll with a newly-acquired<br />
skill toward the rose-colored setting sun<br />
– with snow flying everywhere!<br />

BACKCOUNTRY SKIING continued from page 1<br />
with ski touring in the valleys of the Adirondacks. Due<br />
to the demands of the terrain, true AT ski gear has<br />
more in common with alpine ski gear than it does the<br />
cross-country like setups common in ski touring. AT<br />
skis are essentially lighter versions of downhill skis,<br />
but many backcountry skiers opt to use a true alpine<br />
ski as the foundation of their setup. I myself have<br />
toured on a pair of heavy Volkl skis with an alpine<br />
touring binding for a number of years.<br />
AT boots are similarly heavy-duty. Hard plastic,<br />
three or four buckle boots are standard. Many<br />
companies now offer lightened versions of their fullblown<br />
downhill boots, with Vibram rubber soles and<br />
walk modes that make traveling up the hill a relative<br />
breeze. The popularity of alpine touring has grown<br />
substantially in the United States over the last fi ve<br />
years as a result of high tech alpine touring gear starting<br />
to be imported from Europe. Increased access to<br />
AT equipment opened the doors to backcountry skiing<br />
all over North America.<br />
The real key to the AT setup is the binding. It<br />
works just like a standard binding on a downhill ski<br />
– the skier clicks into it with toe and heal, but there<br />
is one key difference. The rear of the binding can be<br />
released, allowing the binding to pivot up and down<br />
at the toe giving it a cross-country like functionality<br />
when skiing on fl at ground and up the hill. It’s<br />
a hybrid between a freeheel telemark binding and<br />
standard downhill binding – offering better touring<br />
than a telemark, with the full performance of a downhill<br />
binding.<br />
The AT binding is only half of the equation for backcountry<br />
ski effi ciency however – once the skier adds<br />
a “climbing skin” to the bottom of the ski, he or she<br />
has effectively transformed a strong and safe downhill<br />
setup into an effective cross-country ski. Climbing<br />
skins are made of a Velcro-like material and clip to<br />
the ski on the tip and tail and allow the ski to grab the<br />
snow and only slide forward like a cross-country ski.<br />
Combined with an AT binding they giving the ski an<br />
uphill capability usually reserved for snowshoes.<br />
With the added strength, durability, and functionality<br />
of an alpine touring setup, comes one disadvantage:<br />
weight. If a skier isn’t planning on tackling the<br />
rugged steeps of the High Peaks, there’s little need for<br />
the additional weight of an AT setup. Most experienced<br />
AT skiers will agree however, that when standing at the<br />
top of a step chute on a remote High Peak, the added<br />
assurance of having strong and reliable gear underfoot<br />
is well worth the weight penalty on the way up.<br />
Archery • Photography • Soccer • Arts<br />
A popular alpine touring destination in the High<br />
Peaks is Angel Slide on Wright Peak. If you’ve toured<br />
into Marcy Dam in the past, you’ll know Angel Slide<br />
as the exposed rock face visible to the south west of<br />
the dam, on the lower portion of Wright Peak. Where<br />
the touring ski is likely only to get skiers to Marcy<br />
Dam, the AT setup, combined with expert skills and<br />
proper safety gear, will allow them to go through the<br />
backwoods off-trail to the slide itself.<br />
With an AT setup, the skilled skier can ski up the<br />
mountain, then have the chance to make turns on<br />
natural, and potentially deep powder from the top of<br />
the slide. It’s a rush that any experienced AT skier will<br />
tell you – well worth the work it takes to get there.<br />
Angel Slide is a great place for expert alpine touring,<br />
but please keep in mind that it is not a beginner<br />
objective. You’ll need to be able to ski double black<br />
diamond terrain at resorts, and also have the fi tness<br />
to spend 12 to 14 hours climbing in the High Peaks<br />
before heading out to a location like Angel Slide.<br />
AVALANCHE RISK<br />
An immediate word of caution must be heeded<br />
when discussing backcountry skiing on Adirondack<br />
Slides. It is critical to understand that avalanches<br />
are a reality in backcountry skiing, and Angel Slide is<br />
the key example. A skier was killed in an avalanche<br />
at Angel Slide in the early 2000s, and last season<br />
another pair of skiers nearly lost their lives when<br />
the snow avalanched off the slide while they were<br />
skiing there. Avalanche fatalities have been rare in<br />
the Adirondacks, but in recent years the number of<br />
incidents of people being caught in an avalanche and<br />
narrowly surviving has increased dramatically. I suspect<br />
this is due to the increased number of people<br />
traveling in the Adirondacks in the winter – with<br />
growth in adventure skiing, comes an increased risk<br />
of exposure to dangerous conditions.<br />
There are three key safety items you must have<br />
to safely complete backcountry skiing objectives on<br />
Adirondack slides: the avalanche beacon, a probe and<br />
a shovel. The beacon is the key element in avalanche<br />
safety. It is simply a homing transceiver that each<br />
person in your party needs to wear in the backcountry.<br />
In the event that you are buried in an avalanche,<br />
a beacon gives the rest of your party a chance of<br />
fi nding you, and digging you out before you suffocate.<br />
The probe and shovel are key elements in the process<br />
as well. None of these things are a replacement<br />
for common sense though. You need to have a good<br />
understanding of how the snow pack develops, what<br />

snow conditions are dangerous, and how to analyze<br />
the environment around you to make sure you’re<br />
safely traveling.<br />
I can’t possibly cover all of this here, so I’ll simply<br />
say it is critical to take an avalanche awareness<br />
course, which is offered in the region a few times<br />
each winter, and learn the necessary skills for safe<br />
backcountry travel before you plan on traveling in<br />
exposed parts of the High Peaks.<br />
SKI MOUNTAINEERING<br />
Not scared off yet by the risk of getting buried in<br />
snow? You may be ready for ski mountaineering, the big<br />
brother to alpine touring. Where AT adds challenging<br />
climbs and descents to the concept of ski touring, ski<br />
mountaineering adds the challenge of climbing and rappelling<br />
vertical cliffs and ice walls that are not skiable, in<br />
an effort to get to skiable terrain. In alpine touring, skins<br />
and an AT ski setup should get you anywhere you need<br />
to go. Once you start to mix in the need for crampons,<br />
ice axes, harnesses and ropes, you’ve crossed over into<br />
the fringe of the fringe – ski mountaineering.<br />
Traveling in the mountains and getting to the<br />
remote ski locations becomes a primary objective<br />
in ski mountaineering. Many ski mountaineers will<br />
set goals of skiing places no one else has skied. The<br />
accessibility of the objective typically becomes even<br />
more remote and diffi cult to get to with experienced<br />
ski mountaineers, and requires advanced ice climbing,<br />
winter camping and skiing abilities.<br />
In the Adirondacks, the classic ski mountaineering<br />
destination is Gothics. With a lengthy approach<br />
and steep rock faces, it requires a mixed bag of<br />
skills, from the ability to move quickly and effi ciently<br />
on the long approach, to ice climbing the north face<br />

of the mountain before skiing the True North Slide<br />
and heading back to camp. It’s doable as a very long<br />
single day, but to me the trip makes perfect sense to<br />
match with winter camping in the Johns Brook Area.<br />
It’s certainly not a trip for the faint of heart, but it can<br />
be a rewarding day or two in the mountains for the<br />
strong backcountry adventurer.<br />
If you’re like me, and you love winter and skiing<br />
but are tired of lift lines and $80 lift tickets, its time<br />
to check out the backcountry. Beginner and intermediate<br />
skiers should start out with ski touring. Expert<br />
skiers should look into getting an AT setup and venturing<br />
into the mountains. If you already have some<br />
AT gear, consider pushing yourself a little further by<br />
learning mountaineering skills, and pushing yourself<br />
even further this winter.<br />

RUNNING AND WALKING<br />
Reading on the Run<br />
by Laura Clark<br />
I write entirely to find out what I’m<br />
thinking, what I’m looking at, what I<br />
see, and what it means. -Joan Didion<br />
hile running is basically a solitary<br />
Wsport, at some point even the loneliest<br />
long distance runner feels the need<br />
for a social life. Enter the casual running<br />
group, Internet blog and cozy bookstore.<br />
Joan Didion, essayist and early proponent<br />
of creative nonfiction, was correct: writing<br />
validates experience.<br />
But if those temptingly bound blankpaged<br />
journals or the latest blog site fills<br />
you with more terror than a stint of public<br />
speaking, do not despair. While we are all,<br />
as the running philosopher George Sheehan<br />
was wont to exclaim, “an experiment of<br />
one,” there is nevertheless a certain commonality<br />
of experience. Sample some of the<br />
books reviewed below and discover not only<br />
the latest training suggestions, but your own<br />
below-the-surface emotions.<br />
Outstripping all competitors is<br />
Christopher McDougall’s epic “Born to<br />
Run,” which broke the tape on the New<br />
York Times Best Seller List, advanced to the<br />
prestigious Notable Books Council Awards,<br />
and spawned a minimalist shoe revolution<br />
that basically overhauled the inventory of<br />
major shoe distributors. Superbly layered,<br />
this offering details the author’s compelling<br />
journey through cutting edge science to the<br />
desolate Copper Canyons, the last stand of<br />
the Tarahumara – an ancient tribe of super<br />
athletes. Along the way Christopher’s quest<br />
detours back and forth across time and<br />
space to the Western States Endurance Run,<br />
a persistence running hunt with Bushmen,<br />
and Bill Bowerman’s iconic waffle iron.<br />
While “Born to Run” is undoubtedly a<br />
tough act to follow, a sampling of three of<br />
the latest training tomes shortcut past the<br />
usual advice and into a New Age myth-busting<br />
frame of mind. In “The Runner’s Body:<br />
How the Latest Exercise Science Can Help<br />
You Run Stronger, Longer and Faster,” PhDs<br />
Ross Tucker and Jonathan Dugas advance<br />
beyond Dr. Noakes compendium, “The Lore<br />
of Running,” braving the final frontier in the<br />
mind over matter debate.<br />
Coach Matt Fitzgerald in “The Runner’s<br />
Edge: High-Tech Training for Peak Performance”<br />
takes us to the next level of heart rate<br />
monitor ownership, well beyond the basic<br />
stopwatch application where most of us stagnate,<br />
onto the fascinating world of data analysis.<br />
Bring on those charts and graphs!<br />
After all of that math, the prolific Matt<br />
Fitzgerald’s “Racing Weight” is a snap with<br />
its Diet Quality Score Chart, which requires<br />
a preschooler’s ability to count from one to<br />
two and back again. Best of all, Matt forgives<br />
a holiday weight gain below eight-percent<br />
of optimal training weight. No more January<br />
diets – for some of us, at least!<br />
Information, however, can only take<br />
you so far. Knowing what we should do is a<br />
far cry from actually doing it. This is where<br />
inspirational reading can pull you out of the<br />
doldrums and back into your running shoes<br />
even if it is dark and frigid outside. Like the<br />
proverbial mailman, neither weather nor a<br />
NYC transit strike could keep firefighter Matt<br />
Long from his appointed rounds – until he<br />
got crushed by a 20-ton bus making an illegal<br />
turn. In “The Long Run: A New York City<br />
Firefighter’s Triumphant Comeback from<br />
Crash Victim to Elite Athlete,” his physical<br />
and mental road to recovery – including finishing<br />
the 2009 Ironman Lake Placid – will<br />
make your run seem the privilege it truly is.<br />
Paraphrasing Ecclesiastes, “To every life<br />
there is a season,” so it goes with athletes.<br />
Overwhelmed moms often feel that the 24/7<br />
demands of motherhood make the simple<br />
act of going for a run rival the logistics of<br />
an Ironman event. Enter freelancers Dimity<br />
McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea and their<br />
“Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving<br />
– and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity”<br />
with practical, humorous insights on how to<br />
get the job done. A perfect baby shower gift to<br />
accompany that jogging stroller, a revelation<br />
to husbands everywhere, and a vision of the<br />
marathon at the end of the changing table…<br />
Midlife, Rachel Toor in “Personal<br />
Record: A Love Affair with Running” details<br />
her journey from intellectual couch potato<br />
to competitor to dater on the run to best<br />
friend and pacer. “The pay is great: a thank<br />
you and a kiss… are much more compelling<br />
than a PR or a Shiny Metal Object.”<br />
And then there are the baby boomers,<br />
now on their downhill descent toward old<br />
age. But that doesn’t have to mean falls and<br />
infirmities unless the tumbles are taken on<br />
the trail and the infirmities have to do with<br />
sports injuries. In “Second Wind: The Rise<br />
of the Ageless Athlete,” Lee Bergquist profiles<br />
70- and 80-year-old role models, demonstrating<br />
that despite the inroads of time,<br />
the human body still needs to be pushed<br />
to its true limit, whatever that particular<br />
threshold may be.<br />
While running is fun, those who do so<br />
without a break tend to get injured. Several<br />
recent offerings might just inspire you to<br />
take a more relaxed approach. Read “High<br />
Peaks: A History of Hiking the Adirondacks<br />
from Noah to Neoprene” and you will marvel<br />
at Tim Rowland’s irreverent parade of<br />
colorful guides, hermits and entrepreneurs,<br />
grand hotels and cutthroat lumbering, all<br />
coexisting as part of the public lands and<br />
private holdings patchwork that is the<br />
Adirondacks. While not a runner per se,<br />
Tim definitely possesses a runner’s mentality<br />
as he treasure maps his way to a 72-hour<br />
summit of Allen Mountain shortly after<br />
Hurricane Floyd chainsawed through.<br />
Getting down to business, Russell Dunn<br />
and Barbara Delaney’s latest offering is<br />
“Adirondack Trails with Tales: History<br />
Hikes through the Adirondack Park and<br />
the Lake George, Lake Champlain and<br />
Mohawk Valley Regions.” While you may<br />
have run Prospect Mountain’s 5.6-mile<br />
uphill road race, chances are you didn’t<br />
know that the trail crossing the memorial<br />
highway was constructed along the path of<br />
a funicular railroad that transported tourists<br />
to the now defunct Prospect Mountain<br />
House. While nature is its own reward, historical<br />
enhancement definitely adds to the<br />
experience.<br />
Who knows? After some armchair coaching<br />
and inspiration, you too, might feel compelled<br />
to jot down a few memories. Or at<br />
least open your running log once again.<br />

ATHLETE PROFILE<br />
hen speedskater Petra Acker was<br />
Wyoung and attending morning sessions<br />
at the Knickerbacker Arena in Troy,<br />
her grandfather, himself an accomplished<br />
skater, would time her.<br />
“Opa, I know I can go faster!” the young<br />
Petra would exclaim. That is a phrase she<br />
can use again and again. The spirit to aim<br />
for a faster time has stayed with her since<br />
she started skating as a seven-year-old<br />
with her grandfather to fulfill her home<br />
school physical education requirement.<br />
Petra Acker’s grandfather is Howard<br />
Ganong, who has earned five National<br />
titles and two North American championships<br />
as a master’s skater. Petra and her<br />
family had returned from Africa, where<br />
her father was rebuilding an orphanage<br />
for Good Samaritan, a Christian relief<br />
organization. When she returned and<br />
entered the New York school system, she<br />
had to complete physical education units<br />
each year. Enter a grandfather with blades<br />
on his feet.<br />
After a couple of years of skating to<br />
keep physically fit with family, she realized<br />
it was more than just dodge ball for<br />
gym class... It was something more exciting.<br />
Jim “Casey” Wager, who had been<br />
coaching young skating athletes for many<br />
years, entered the picture. He coached her<br />
by starting with the basics – a teaching<br />
method that has made him the primary<br />
coach for young athletes in the region.<br />
After graduating, so to speak, from<br />
Casey’s developmental work in the morning,<br />
nine-year-old Petra started training<br />
with Capital District Speedskating Club,<br />
who used the ice at the Knickerbacker<br />
Arena for Monday night practices.<br />
<br />
<br />
Age: 17<br />
Family: Parents, Don and<br />

Petra<br />
Acker<br />
by Janit Stahl<br />
The foundation built by Casey has<br />
remained with Petra, who began her competitive<br />
career, expanded her training to<br />
include the Tuesday and Thursday night<br />
practices with the Saratoga Winter Club,<br />
one of the most successful short track<br />
speedskating teams in the country.<br />
“I think ever since I was little I was very<br />
competitive... I’m an only child too... I like<br />
to be with my friends and other people,<br />
but I am used to driving myself,” Petra says<br />
of her ability to stay focused in this sport<br />
where technical accuracy and extreme<br />
discipline are required for success.<br />
While she was skating at Knickerbacker,<br />
Paul Marchese, the technical advisor for<br />
the 2002 Olympic speedskating squad<br />
and coach of 2<strong>01</strong>0 long track Olympian<br />
Trevor Marsicano from Ballston Spa was<br />
on the ice, “But he was working with the<br />
faster kids, like Trevor,” says Petra.<br />
Just a couple years later, Petra became<br />
“One of the faster kids.” She entered<br />
and won several of the regional races<br />
for speedskating in Rochester, Syracuse,<br />
Walpole (Mass.) and Newburgh – all part<br />
of the circuit familiar to skating families.<br />
These races are short track on 111-meter<br />
ice hockey rink. She liked the excitement<br />
and speed of the sport, which is entirely<br />
different not only in theory but by competitive<br />
standards than long track skating.<br />
The International Skating Union treats<br />
the short track and long track versions<br />
as entirely different sports – those who<br />
watched the Olympics in Vancouver can<br />
relate. The 400-meter oval long track races<br />
are match races with two skaters going<br />
head-to-head to get the best time. Short<br />
track is like roller derby with five skaters<br />
jockeying for position and close physical<br />
contact.<br />
It was a distinction that was becoming<br />
clearer to Petra as she trained and raced<br />
short track and long track in the past four<br />
years. She won the ladies division at the<br />
annual Jack Shea Sprints in Lake Placid on<br />
the Olympic Speedskating Oval for three<br />
years (’08, ’09, ‘10) locally, and took her<br />
talent to US Junior Long Track National<br />
Championship in Milwaukee for two<br />
years (’09 and ‘10), and earned first and<br />
second in her category. She was concurrently<br />
racing American Cup and US Junior<br />
Short Track championships. It was a lot of<br />
wear and tear on her body, one that was<br />
growing. The lanky girl was becoming a<br />
willowy young lady. And most short track<br />
speedskaters are not that tall (think fivefoot,<br />
eight-inch Apolo Anton Ohno). Petra<br />
is built more like the Dutch athletes that<br />
dominate the long track in international<br />
competition.<br />
“This is my first year just skating long<br />
track,” Petra says. “I started doing long<br />
track four years ago and I wanted to stay<br />
in short track, but Junior Worlds were the<br />
same weekend so I had to decide,” she<br />
explains. “It is difficult to switch back and<br />
forth.”<br />
“I think it fits my personality,” she<br />
asserts, of long track-style racing. “It is<br />
not as stressful,” says the teenager with<br />
an easy smile and a relaxed personality.<br />
In 2009, she was a member of the Junior<br />
World long track team that competed in<br />
Zakopane, Poland, and competed in the<br />
Junior World Cup in Calgary, earning a<br />
podium spot with a bronze in the 1,000<br />
meters.<br />
Petra won the <strong>2<strong>01</strong>1</strong> US All-Around<br />
Speedskating Championship on Dec. 31<br />
in Kearns, Utah. She took first-place in the<br />
5,000-meter race (7:47.26, a PR), fourth<br />
in the 1,500-meter race (2:03.49, a PR),<br />
and fifth in the 500-meter race (41.39).<br />
She clinched the title when point leader<br />
Jilleanne Rookard skipped the 5,000-<br />
meter race.<br />
This year, Petra still has to qualify to<br />
be on the Junior Worlds team at a Petit<br />
Ice Arena meet in Milwaukee, which was<br />
the training ice for the 2<strong>01</strong>0 Olympic<br />
team. If she qualifies in February she<br />
goes to the Junior World Championships<br />
in Finland, and a Junior World Cup in the<br />
Netherlands.<br />
“Next year, after high school graduation,<br />
I will be moving to Salt Lake City or<br />
Milwaukee to train,” the senior says.<br />
Her mother, Cindy, feels her competitive<br />
edge comes from understanding<br />
her God-given talent, and being driven by<br />
the responsibility for her potential to be<br />
realized.<br />
“In some ways it was very easy to have<br />
her at home. She always worked to complete<br />
her schoolwork and was even more<br />
driven when compared to her home school<br />
co-op classmates (at Grace Fellowship<br />
Church in Latham). Other than that, she<br />
is a diva a bit... She gets really tired from<br />
training,” says Cindy Acker.<br />
The family has gone on several missions,<br />
including spending last summer<br />
in Haiti. Petra brought along one of her<br />
greatest competitors in the sport, speedskater<br />
Rebecca Byrud.<br />
Ultimately she wants to be a child psychologist<br />
with the organization Love 146,<br />
a non-profit who rescues young women<br />
brought into the world of child prostitution.<br />
“Petra always knows it is not about<br />
just her, she has a lot to give,” says her<br />
mother.<br />
Although she has a serious and compassionate<br />
side, evident in her mission and<br />
social work, Petra has a lot of fun too. One<br />
of her favorite past times is ballroom dancing.<br />
She dances at the Fred Astaire Dance<br />
Studio in Latham, but this Ginger Rogers<br />
has some world-class dancing legs!<br />
In the immediate future, Petra is preparing<br />
for National Junior team qualification<br />
meet in Milwaukee. Ultimately, her<br />
goal is the 2<strong>01</strong>4 Winter Olympics in Sochi,<br />
Russia. Three years and lots of travel in<br />
between, but she is up for it. “I love to<br />
travel!”<br />

SNOWSHOEING & CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING<br />
Explore a New Winter Loop at<br />
For many years, Chase Lake in northern<br />
Fulton County has been a quiet,<br />
little-known place. The trail was<br />
once used by snowmobiles, but today the<br />
few people who go there do so under their<br />
own power. With its lean-to, easy trail, and<br />
fine views of a mountain named simply<br />
the Pinnacle, Chase Lake would seem to<br />
have all the ingredients of a popular destination.<br />
Nevertheless, the DEC reported<br />
a few years ago that an average of 100<br />
people visited the lake annually.<br />
This may change, however. In the fall<br />
of 2<strong>01</strong>0, a DEC crew built a new lean-to on<br />
the lake’s north shore that is far superior<br />
to the old site, which was located near a<br />
corner of the shoreline that was blocked<br />
by alders. The new site comes with a better<br />
view of the lake, and it is reached by<br />
such an easy hike that it is sure to become<br />
a favorite.<br />
Further, the creation of the new leanto<br />
also required the cutting of a new trail.<br />
Therefore from a single trailhead you can<br />
now reach Chase Lake in two ways – the<br />
original trail to the old lean-to site, and the<br />
new spur to the new site. Few people will<br />
choose to do both routes in the summer,<br />
but in the winter when the lake is securely<br />
frozen snowshoers and cross-country skiers<br />
can now make an exceptional route.<br />
HOW TO GET THERE<br />
From Northville, follow NY Route 30<br />
north for about three miles, where Benson<br />
Road bears left. Benson Road leads in 11.7<br />
miles to Pinnacle Road, a right turn that is<br />
also marked by a sign for the Adirondack<br />
Beagle and Hare Club. Drive to the end of<br />
Pinnacle Road, 2.6 miles away.<br />
THE TRAIL<br />
From the end of Pinnacle Road, follow<br />
the marked trail that leads off to the right.<br />
The trail was designed to circumvent<br />

private land. It essentially parallels the<br />
boundary, leading north of east around a<br />
knoll, and then cutting southeast through<br />
a deep ravine. Beyond, you are so close to<br />
the private parcel that you can clearly see<br />
the difference between the cut-over forest<br />
and the mature stand on state land.<br />
After walking for 1.1 miles, you intercept<br />
the original trail and bear left to follow<br />
it. You are now on what appears to<br />
be an old woods road, following beside a<br />
wide draw that is unusual in its straight<br />
course and unchanging dimensions.<br />
Indeed much of the remaining hike to the<br />
lake passes through remarkably non-hilly<br />
terrain – a rare pause in the mountainous<br />
Adirondack landscape.<br />
At 1.8 miles you reach the new fork<br />
in the trail, marked by prominent trail<br />
signs. The original trail to the old lean-to<br />
site bears right, and the new trail continues<br />
straight ahead. The people who are<br />
mostly here to see the new lean-to will be<br />
invariably drawn in that direction. But if<br />
you can muster some patience, I recommend<br />
heading to the old site first and<br />
crossing the ice to the new site. The views<br />
will reveal themselves more favorably in<br />
this direction.<br />
So, turning right, the trail dips to cross<br />
a small stream and eventually resumes<br />
its east-northeast course to the old leanto<br />
site near the south end of the lake, 2.6<br />
miles from Pinnacle Road. This site was<br />
not particularly well-suited to allow its<br />
guests to consider the scenic charms of<br />
Chase Lake, and this was likely why it left<br />
a bland impression with so many of its<br />
visitors. It is now a perfectly functional<br />
tent site, though it is hard to imagine that<br />
many people will prefer this spot over the<br />
new lean-to.<br />
To complete the loop, continue<br />
through the alders to the open expanse of<br />
the frozen lake. While the western shore<br />
is hemmed in with extensive marshlands,<br />
the eastern shore has a number of rocky<br />
points, each one capped with a scenic<br />
tent site. They are in a prime position to<br />
take in the view of the Pinnacle, with the<br />
reddish-colored cliffs draped across the<br />
northern shoulder of the mountain. For<br />
the few people who take the time to cross<br />
to this shore in winter, Chase Lake takes<br />
on a whole new dynamic.<br />
The new lean-to site is very visible on<br />
the north shore, thanks in part to a questionable<br />
amount of tree cutting. Unlike<br />
many newer lean-tos, this one is located a<br />
comfortable distance from the lake’s edge<br />
and features fine views. It is just a 0.5-mile<br />
trek across the pond from the old site to<br />
the new site.<br />
To complete the loop, look for the<br />
new marked trail leading west-southwest<br />
from the shelter, quickly leaving the shore<br />
of the pond. It cuts across a low hill and<br />
comes to a small creek with rocky banks.<br />
You cross this creek at 0.5-mile, and without<br />
a bridge it could be a tricky crossing<br />
during a thaw. Otherwise, it is an easy hike<br />
for the next 0.5-mile back to the junction<br />
to close the loop, and then for the last 1.8<br />
miles you are following your tracks back<br />
to Pinnacle Road.<br />
The total distance of 5.9 miles will<br />
require about three hours of walking time,<br />
not counting breaks and additional explorations.<br />

FROM THE EDITOR<br />
<strong>2<strong>01</strong>1</strong><br />
Happy New Year! So what am I looking<br />
to accomplish in <strong>2<strong>01</strong>1</strong>? As athletes we are<br />
used to working toward goals, but often<br />
we’ll set a race goal, and then just stop<br />
training once the race is over. The point<br />
of a resolution is not just to accomplish<br />
one thing and then quit, but to make<br />
long-lasting changes for the better. So I’m<br />
going to take a stab at one single thing I<br />
can do from now on that will make a great<br />
difference in my life this year and for years<br />
to come.<br />
Sleep. I’m going to go to bed earlier<br />
because I think that it will positively<br />
impact my life in so many ways. Some nights will be more difficult than others, but I<br />
will always try. No more zoning out in front of the TV when there’s nothing on and no<br />
more reading until the wee hours. By going to bed earlier, I will start getting up earlier.<br />
I’ll workout in the morning and expect to be more productive and creative in my job.<br />
More sleep will also improve my long-term health and<br />
wellness.<br />
Going forward as a business, we will resolve to back<br />
up our data daily – again! While on vacation, Darryl’s<br />
hard drive crashed resulting in a very extensive recovery<br />
process. Luckily, we’ve got a great consultant (thanks<br />
Mike, of Integrated Technology Resources!) and good<br />
insurance. However, thus the delayed January issue.<br />
The good news is we are up and running again with<br />
all of our data restored! Thanks for your patience and<br />
enjoy the issue!<br />

Adirondack Ice: A Cultural<br />
and Natural History<br />
SARANAC LAKE – Ice has determined the<br />
course of Adirondack history in many surprising<br />
ways. Adirondack Ice: a Cultural<br />
and Natural History by Caperton Tissot of<br />
Saranac Lake traces the evolution of that<br />
influence, touching on everything from ice<br />
industries, and transportation to recreation<br />
and accidents. In 360 pages of personal stories,<br />
observations and over 200 historic and<br />
contemporary photos, the Caperton pays<br />
tribute to a fast disappearing era.<br />
Reviews: “This book, providing a relatively<br />
unknown history of ice in the region, is very<br />
thought provoking. It describes the cultural<br />
relationships over the years and ends with a<br />
discussion of climate change and how this<br />
will reshape ice and associated activities<br />
in the future.” –Elizabeth Lowe, Region 5<br />
Director of NYS DEC, and founder of The<br />
Wild Center.<br />
“My favorite moment each year is when<br />
winter takes control and friction loses its<br />
grip – when all of a sudden even the ungainly<br />
among us acquire a kind of grace as we skim<br />
across the world. This captures every element<br />
of that moment. I hope only that those<br />
who read it will rise to the defense of winter,<br />
so that we can keep the great warming at<br />
bay.” – Bill McKibben, author, activist, and<br />
resident scholar at Middlebury College.<br />
“Adirondack Ice illuminates the history<br />
of our relationship with a defining element<br />
of winter. Valued and reviled, ice is an<br />
unavoidable fact of life in the Adirondacks.<br />
As Caperton points out, it has ‘substantially<br />
determined the natural, economic, and<br />
cultural history of the North Country, yet it<br />
is an often overlooked and underappreciated<br />
influence.” –Laura Rice, chief curator,<br />

THE NON-MEDICATED LIFE<br />
Treating<br />
Sleep<br />
Apnea<br />
by Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP<br />
edicines are a mainstay of American<br />
Mlife and the healthcare system not<br />
only because they are perceived to work<br />
by the individual taking them, but also<br />
because their benefit may be shown by<br />
the objective assessment of scientific<br />
study. Clinical research trials have shown<br />
that some of the medicines of Western science<br />
may reduce the risk of heart attacks,<br />
strokes and cardiovascular death.<br />
In the first 39 installments of The Non-<br />
Medicated Life, informed diet and lifestyle<br />
have been shown to accomplish naturally<br />
for the majority of individuals, many, if<br />
not most of the benefits of medications.<br />
Interestingly this also extends to the benefits<br />
of medical devices and surgery in the<br />
case of sleep apnea.<br />
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a<br />
condition in which an individual stops<br />
breathing for short periods during sleep.<br />
The bed partner of the individual is usually<br />
the first to recognize something is<br />
awry. The abnormal breathing pattern<br />
is made obvious because most individuals<br />
with sleep apnea snore, sometimes<br />
loudly. Periodically this rhythmic snoring<br />
is interrupted by a prolonged period<br />
of no breathing and hence silence. It is<br />
during this silence that serious damage<br />
is done leading to high blood pressure,<br />
heart arrhythmias, heart failure, and a<br />
predisposition to daytime sleepiness that<br />
may cause serious injury if an individual<br />
falls asleep while driving or operating<br />
machinery.<br />
This is the 40th in a series on optimal<br />
diet and lifestyle to help prevent<br />
and treat heart disease. Any planned<br />
change in diet, exercise or treatment<br />
should be discussed with and<br />
approved by your personal physician<br />
before implementation. The help of a<br />
registered dietitian in the implementation<br />
of dietary changes is strongly<br />
recommended.<br />
The mechanism of obstructive sleep<br />
apnea seems fairly straightforward. As an<br />
individual falls asleep the muscles in the<br />
neck and throat relax. In normal individuals<br />
without this condition, there is sufficient<br />
resiliency of throat tissues to resist<br />
the loss of muscle tone, which partially<br />
holds structures in position as we assume<br />
a supine posture.<br />
But in individuals predisposed to OSA,<br />
such relaxation may actually cause the<br />
airway to collapse. The first signs of collapse<br />
is snoring which is actually an initial<br />
partial collapse resulting in the typical<br />
staccato sound as air under the increased<br />
pressure of inspiration forces its way past<br />
obstructing structures including tonsils,<br />
adenoids and soft palate. As one enters<br />
the deeper stages of sleep the muscular<br />
relaxation becomes more pronounced<br />
thereby increasing the obstruction.<br />
Ultimately, there is complete collapse and<br />
a period of apnea or no breathing.<br />
During the period of apnea, oxygen<br />
levels in the blood drop and carbon dioxide<br />
levels rise. Low oxygen levels can cause<br />
blood vessels in the lungs to constrict and<br />
make it harder for the right heart to pump<br />
blood through the lungs to the left side of<br />
the heart. Over time such a condition can<br />
cause the right side of the heart to fail.<br />
Low oxygen levels can also cause the heart<br />
muscle cells to become irritable and such<br />
irritability may predispose to abnormal<br />
rhythms of the heart some of which may<br />
be life threatening. These same conditions<br />
may result in high<br />
blood pressure which<br />
may increase the risk of<br />
heart attack and stroke.<br />
The period of apnea<br />
will last until the need<br />
for oxygen takes precedence<br />
over the need to spend time in the<br />
deeper stages of sleep. Survival programs<br />
will activate and the individual will arouse<br />
from sleep, muscle tone in throat structures<br />
will increase, and the individual will<br />
take a breath or a gasp ending the period<br />
of apnea. This process may be repeated<br />
many times during a night with the total<br />
time spent in the deeper stages of sleep<br />
severely reduced thereby ensuring another<br />
hallmark of OSA, excess sleepiness during<br />
waking hours.<br />
Individuals who have snoring, excess<br />
daytime sleepiness, and witnessed apneas<br />
during sleep should discuss with their<br />
physician possible screening for obstructive<br />
sleep apnea. Screening may be<br />
achieved with a sleep study or polysomnogram<br />
completed at a sleep lab. Those<br />
with diagnosed sleep apnea may consult<br />
further with an Otolaryngologist (ENT) or<br />
Pulmonologist.<br />
Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea<br />
may involve a device, surgery, or behavior/lifestyle<br />
changes. Devices include an<br />
oral appliance which repositions the jaw<br />
to improve air flow and C-PAP device consisting<br />
of mask and air compressor that is<br />
used to force air under pressure into the<br />
upper airway to counteract the tendency<br />
for collapse. Surgery may involve removal<br />
of the tonsils and adenoids and a removal<br />
of portions of the soft palate to make the<br />
opening for air flow bigger and less prone<br />
to collapse. The oral appliance is used<br />
generally for those with less severe OSA.<br />
C-PAP is effective in those who tolerate<br />
the device, unfortunately many patients<br />
have problems adjusting to the mask or<br />
increased air flow. Surgery is reserved for<br />
severe OSA or for those not amenable to<br />
the less invasive approaches.<br />
For individuals with obstructive sleep<br />
apnea who are overweight or obese,<br />
behavior and lifestyle changes that promote<br />
weight loss may cure OSA simply<br />
with the shedding of pounds. While not<br />
easy, weight loss is much less expensive<br />
than the other approaches, may work as<br />
well or better than other approaches, and<br />
carries with it the additional benefits of<br />
improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol<br />
and blood sugar. All diets which<br />
reduce caloric intake and total calories<br />
should work equally well. A daily modest<br />
exercise such as walking may help as well<br />
by burning calories.<br />
In summary, obstructive sleep apnea is<br />
a serious medical problem characterized<br />
by excessive snoring, witnessed periods of<br />
apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness.<br />
OSA increases the risk of heart failure, high<br />
blood pressure, irregular, and possibly life<br />
threatening heart rhythms, as well as heart<br />
attacks and strokes. Treatment for OSA<br />
exists in the form of dental devices, C-PAP<br />
and surgery. At the same time informed diet<br />
and lifestyle resulting in weight loss in those<br />
who are overweight or obese may correct this<br />
condition and avoid these more invasive and<br />
expensive approaches to address this correctable,<br />
albeit serious medical problem.<br />
