Snow continues to fall in the lake placid area. ORDA is assessing the trails at Van Hoevenberg on a day to day basis. They are expecting warm temps with rain. Depending on what happens in the next couple of days, there is a small chance the XC races can be moved back to Van Hoevenberg. Until then we are still at the jumps
