		We haven't tried much backcountry skiing in the Hudson Valley north of the Catskills -- except a little exploring in the neighborhoods of the Garnet Hill and Lapland Lake cross-country ski areas.

	AMC: AMC Outdoors - Backcountry Skiing in the Northeast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Langmuir's first ski ascent deep in the heart of the Northeast's Appalachian Mountains in1907 gave birth to the sport of backcountry skiing and it wasn't long before skiers were leaving their tracks through Vermont's hardwood forests, up and over the snow-plastered Adirondacks, and down the steepest ravines of New Hampshire's White Mountains.
		Long before the mechanical chairlifts made their way to Stowe, skiers would ascend the mountain with the aid of climbing skins, savor the summit's incredible vistas, and then enjoy a thrilling descent on one of the many ski trails that were cut here in the 1930s and 40s.
		It's also the place New England backcountry skiers go when they are craving big mountains and a change of scenery- or when quality snow to the south is in short supply.

		I’ve always been amused by the “conflict” that some backcountry skiing advocates seem to relish portraying between skiers and sledders, when in reality many people combine both activities or simply know how to go places where they won’t see snowmobilers (or if they’re a sledder, not see pedestrians).
