PINERIDGE NEWS 2025 – 2026                               
Welcome Winter! 

We had a very dry summer. Surprisingly, the fall is painting beautiful colors and offering wonderful fresh air. Walter says this winter, 2025 – 2026, will look very much like last year with one exception – lots more snow! We are most hopeful! Summer maintenance has included downed tree removal on several trails. (It never ends!) We placed some fill on Stoney Creek to improve skiing in marginal weather.


Trail Cleanup

We have our usual array of tree branches on the trails. If you are interested in helping pick up the tails, please email Walter to establish a day/time and to learn which trails need your attention.  (walterkersch@aol.com)


Cut your own Christmas Trees in the Northern Zone

We will begin selling the weekend before Thanksgiving – Saturday, November 22 and 23. We will be open weekends 9 AM until 4 PM and week days by appointment. Call the lodge (518.283.3652). Last year some people missed cutting their favorite tree because the trails were open for skiing. We can’t both ski and cut trees! So plan ahead and come out when conditions allow.

 

Junior Season Rentals
Cross country ski season rentals for children for the 2025 – 2026 season can now be picked up. Don’t forget to return your skis from last year if you still have them! E-mail to schedule an appointment. (walterkersch@aol.om)
 
In Search of Staff
Pineridge is looking for new staff as groomers, instructors and lodge staff. We are weather dependent so hiring staff proves to be a challenge!

Messages will be on the ski lodge phone and on Pineridge website conditions page. THINK SNOW!
