Senator Catharine Young is sponsoring a rally at the Bath House of the Quaker Lake area of Allegany State Park on Saturday March 13th at noon to protest Gov. Paterson’s call to close Long Point State Park and reduce services at Allegany State Park. 2010-2011 Proposed service reductions at ASP include elimination of winter trail maintenance (grooming) on the Art Roscoe Trails.
This will be an excellent opportunity to draw attention to the excellent cross country skiing program at ASP that we have worked hard to maintain and improve in the last few years.
Plan to ski at ASP that day and head over to Quaker Lake before or after your ski. Bring your skis or a sign to Quaker so that there is no doubt why we are there.

Track set on all trails. Upper trails conditions are good- lower trails are in fair condition but much improved from the conditions earlier in the week. Next grooming is planned for Tuesday or Wednesday which will be determined by additional snowfall. In the event of unexpected snowfall-grooming will be conducted over the weekend (if needed).

Received approx. 4-6″ of new snow overnight. Trails are in good condition but may have icy base. Use caution drifting areas may exist due to windy conditions. Grooming is planned for early Saturday morning due to more snow expected today and tonight.

Track set on all trails. Good amount of new snow was received over weekend. Conditions listed as good- with temps in 30’s most of the week and no significant snowfall expected grooming will resume later in the week if necessary.

Disregard 3/1 report above from GQ. I received it Monday thinking the park groomed Monday but they haven’t. He is referencing the track-setting done on Saturday. I skied today. Tracks are beat up and, with the warm temperatures, soft and slow. I was icing up with KR50 klister. It was a beautiful day, though. Quit early and went home and rode my bike.

ASP will be grooming Friday 3/5 AM with snowmobile and track setter (no cat).
F 3/5/10- Gary Q, Red House Mgr
4-6″ base remains. Conditions on upper trails better- tracks are icy making for fast skiing – use caution. (Tracks set on all trails- AD).
