<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 11, 2011) As rain and sleet and mud make us pine away for spring, let’s take a moment to acknowledge what we’ve had – more than two months of a snow-covered landscape, an opportunity to scoot out for a cross-country ski pretty much anytime, anywhere.In Canton, loads of skiers take advantage of the St. Lawrence University golf course for a quick trek.  It’s right in North Country Public Radio’s backyard.  David Sommerstein has this appreciation of the lunchtime ski.NOTE: As alert listeners have told me, the cross-country ski trails are maintained by volunteer Pete Ames, chief engineer at the Best Western, on his own time.  Thanks a million, Pete! [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17287/20110311/savoring-a-lunchtime-ski">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>State reopens dispute over old road, part of Jackrabbit trail</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17110/20110207/state-reopens-dispute-over-old-road-part-of-jackrabbit-trail</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 7, 2011) On Friday, the state Department of Environmental Conservation filed court documents reopening a dispute involving an old road that runs between Lake Placid and Keene.  The controversial case involves a section of the route which is now used as part of the Jackrabbit ski trail. Green groups say the outcome of the dispute will set a precedent for how road-closures are handled throughout the Adirondack Park.  But as Chris Morris reports, snowmobile activists and town leaders say the case has already been settled.
