I wonder if we users of the BREIA trails would use the blog to report conditions. Many have a drive to the trails and would benefit from advance daily updates on conditions from other skiers.
For example, my family skied the Canal trail at midday. There was about 4” of new snow on top of a patchy base. It’s skiable and in some places very nice but rock skis would be advisable.
Do you recommend a particular all-purpose ski wax? If so, where can it/they be purchased. We skied Black River Canal Trail New Year’s Day and 1 of us got bogged by sticky snow. Thanks

A group of nine skied Jackson Hill on Sunday Jan 18th. There were three other groups and one single gentleman.
We appreciated who ever cut the trail for us to enjoy! It made our trip very enjoyable. The trees were just laden with fresh snow and just beautiful.
Of course we were disappointed that the trails were not groomed and the warming hut was not open. Unfortunately we did not check your site before heading out. We still enjoyed a tailgate snack in the parking lot.
Looking forward to your grooming effort and use of the warming hut!

Just a short note to everyone at BREIA X-Country Center. We were visiting my good college friend, Dave Jones (Utica) and he took us to BREIA. It was spectacular. Last weekend we were at Trapps Family Lodge and Craftsbury Center in Vermont and today at BREIA was just as good if not better then our skiing last weekend. The rolling hills and the ascents were magnificent and the trails were groomed perfect.
My friend, David said Echo Lake was the best he has seen it.
We will be back!

I had the pleasure of skiing the canal trail late afternoon on the 28th just after it had been groomed. 　My compliments to the trail crews. 　 The conditions were superb!! 　As I have mentioned in previous emails, the BREIA trail system is an invaluable gift to central New York. 　Thank you so very much!! 　Tony
