Last week, the state Department of Environmental Conservation issued an avalanche advisory, warning back country downhill skiers and snowboarders of possibly threatening conditions in the Adirondacks’ High Peaks and on other steep slopes.
The advisory now remains in effect for the duration of the ski season, according to DEC spokesperson Jeff Wernick.
Both local and national groups noted that, while avalanches are seemingly more common out west, that doesn’t mean they’re nonexistent in the northeast. And everyone, not just skiers, should be aware of the potential hazard.

Dubois Co. residents voice concerns over Mid-States Corridor By Brady Williams | February 5, 2021 at 7:32 PM CST - Updated February 5 at 7:32 PM
DUBOIS CO., Ind. (WFIE) - On Friday, the Regional Development Authority (RDA) for the Mid-States Corridor project met in Huntingburg.
The RDA acts as a body to oversee spending and financial concerns regarding the project.
At Friday’s meeting, the authority didn’t reach any decisions about the project.
In most cases the RDA has no say in where or when the project will go into effect, they simply help bankroll the initiative.
Ismail was speaking to reporters after the launch of the Iskandar Malaysia 15-Year Commemorative Campaign’ or ‘IM15CC’ here yesterday. Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad launched the event virtually which was witnessed by local government and business leaders.
JOHOR BARU: Despite a challenging business climate due to the Covid 19 pandemic, Iskandar Malaysia is poised to attract about RM17bil in foreign and local investments into the growth corridor this year.
Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive Datuk Ismail Ibrahim said that they were optimistic and hopeful of attracting between RM15bil and RM17bil especially with the vaccination for Covid-19 expected to take place this year.
The Regional Development Authority began to transition its leadership Thursday when its board of directors appointed Chief Operating Office Sherri Ziller interim CEO to lead the organization on the departure of current president and CEO Bill Hanna.
Board Chairman Don Fesko also said the boardâs officers, who include Vice Chairman Randy Palmateer and Secretary/Treasurer Christopher Campbell, will form a search committee to determine a permanent replacement for Hanna, who led the organization for more than a decade.
