Winter is an excellent time to explore the Adirondacks. Covered in a blanket of snow,
the mountains are beautiful and enticing. From hiking and snowshoeing to skiing
and ice climbing, there is so much to experience and enjoy. However, although winter
recreation is exciting, it is important to remember it can also be dangerous.
DEC Forest Rangers are the first to respond when winter recreation goes awry. Rangers are the experts on
what to do, and not do, in the woods and on the trails to stay safe—and safety is key to having fun on any
winter adventure. Before you head out for your next snowy escape, review these tips from Forest Ranger
Quinn and Forest Ranger Captain Kostoss.
