What a year on the Canal Trail

Although there may be a few more days left, it does seem that the cross country season is winding to a close. It was still pretty darn good this afternoon (3/25) is getting thin is a few spots between the top of the gorge and Pixley Falls.

It has been simply unbelievable on the canal trail this year thanks to BREIA's efforts.

I must apologize for not being very rigorous in signing in when I skied so if I could remedy that by letting you know now, you can up your usage rates. I was on the canal trail 72 times (and probably signed in 3 times). My wife was with me for 48 of those times (including the 3 that I signed us in).

So once more, thank you for maintaining all the BREIA trails. It was simply wonderful all ski season.

What a great place

I moved from Upstate NY to Indiana after college for work. My Mom still lives in Trenton Falls so we spend a lot of time back there during the year. I discovered the BREIA trails about three years ago; although my Mom tells me that she and my Dad used to ski there years ago. It is one of the greatest treasures of the North Country. On a cold, crisp, winter morning there is no better experience than skiing up to the Egypt Road warming hut with a fire going in the wood stove, warming yourself by the stove, and then heading off to ski down along the creek. In Indiana we have nothing like the BREIA trails although I wish we did. Life would be a lot more enjoyable.

Great Ski Trip

I came up with a group of students from Hobart and William Smith
Colleges. We had a very enjoyable day on the BREIA trails (Egypt
Road). The trails were very impressive, and our group, primarily made
up of beginners, had a great first experience cross country skiing.

Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful resource! We will
definitely be back soon!

Feb. 20th Skiing

Just a short note to everyone at BREIA X-Country Center. We were visiting my good college friend, Dave Jones (Utica) and he took us to BREIA. It was spectacular. Last weekend we were at Trapps Family Lodge and Craftsbury Center in Vermont and today at BREIA was just as good if not better then our skiing last weekend. The rolling hills and the ascents were magnificent and the trails were groomed perfect.
My friend, David said Echo Lake was the best he has seen it.

We will be back!

Beautiful Ski Trails

We just wanted to say what a great time we had yesterday at BREIA. The trails are gorgeous and we got a great workout. We are looking forward to trying some of the other trails and thank you for providing such a wonderful resource in New York.

Thanks from Oneonta,

found items

While skiing the great trail Sunday afternoon, we found a pair of
sunglasses (cranberry frame colored).

We put them in the sign-in board. There is also a Nokia cell phone (been there several weeks) in the sign-in board cabinet. (Great Trail parking lot off Egypt Rd.)
