<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 25, 2012) It&apos;s shaping up to be another tough week weather-wise for the North Country.  Rain and temperatures in the forties forced volunteer crews in Saranac Lake to suspend work on the Winter Carnival ice palace.The Mt. Van Hoevenberg cross country ski center in Lake Placid closed because of the drizzly weather. The forecast at Whiteface Mountain this morning includes a chance for rain. And the Ski Bowl in North Creek is closed, with just 60% of Gore Mountain&apos;s trails open.One bright spot this winter has been the VIC at Paul Smiths. The facility was threatened with closure in 2010 when the Adirondack Park Agency decided that it was too expensive to operate.But Paul Smiths College and a group of local residents have worked to keep the VIC open.  Brian Mann checked out the trails last week and has our story.
