The Garnet Hill area is a natural paradise for those seeking a break from the hectic rush of everyday life. In spring, summer or fall, 70 miles of marked and mapped trails provide gentle walks for the nature enthusiast, while the rugged mountain scenery presents the experienced hiker with more vigorous routes and climbs. Snowy, Peaked, Crane, Blue and Chimney Mountains are all nearby. Fine swimming is offered in the clear waters of Thirteenth Lake, while its beautiful beach will reward those who prefer to just laze in the sun. Boating, canoeing and fishing can also be enjoyed, with rental canoes, kayaks, and rowboats available. Garnet Hill also maintains two tennis courts near the ski/bike shop.

Trail Conditions & Weather
Fri. 1/27: Mother Nature threw us a curve (snow)ball this morning. We had 2" of new snow last night followed up by rain, which is falling now. **Trails are Closed today for skiing** With rain turning back to snow later today, we will allow this rain to penetrate through our base and re-form as temperatures drop later today and overnight. We may see some accumulation here at elevation then clearing. Tomorrow looks clear and cold early with possible snow after noon.

Looking through the weekend, we'll commence grooming as early as conditions allow Saturday morning. Our base is well developed and intact going back through late December, so we'll weather this. Favorable temperatures and snow in the forecast will allow for nicely skiable conditions for your weekend. Stay tuned!

When the snow returns, set your own tracks on our extensive stand-alone 30k snowshoe trail system! With over a foot of snow blanketing the ground and trees it is a great way to experience new trails and new perspectives.

Set off on a backcountry excursion right from the Ski Shop doors! Our unique proximity to the extensive NY State Ski Trail system makes us the leader in winter adventure choices.
