SHOW #301 AVALANCHE PREPAREDNESS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY We kick off our third season with three action packed stories in one show. Snow avalanches only occur out west right? Think again. How many people realize there have been 15 snow avalanches in the Park since 1975 with one in 2002 having deadly consequences? We travel with a DEC Forest Ranger to Avalanche Pass in the High Peaks to discuss avalanche awareness. Next we talk with 2 avid “slide skiers/snowboarders” of these areas and finish with an interview with an ice rescue instructor as she shows us what to do if you fall through the ice. Here is a tip, it is the opposite of what you think!
SHOW
#302 THE ENDANGERED SPRUCE GROUSE We travel deep into the northern reaches of the Park with a DEC Wildlife Biologist and SUNY Potsdam Professor in search of the elusive, endangered and beautiful spruce grouse. Less than 200 spruce grouse exist within the Park but we are able to locate them and take about this birds range, habitat and future. We follow that with a visit the North Country Wild Care, an all volunteer group of dedicated professional who care for animals that have been injured and see them through to recovery.
SHOW
#303 FISHING THE SALMON RIVER
PART 2 After an unbelievable day last season on the Salmon River near Malone we head back with Guide Nick Coppola of Jones Outfitters in Lake Placid to see if we can do it again. We put a ;little twist in this show as we try and take the mystery out of flyfishing by focusing on the basics of casting and reading water. We also bring to light a very real threat to every river in New York State and elsewhere, Didymo, otherwise known as Rock Snot.
SHOW
#304 GROUSE HUNTING AND HABITAT INPROVEMENTS On this show we are after a bird that can fly from 0 to 40 in just a few seconds. We will talk about some fine guns, different breeds of dogs to hunt with ,visit a Ruffed Grouse Society habitat improvement site and finish with some bird hunting.
SHOW
#305 INTERNATIONAL PAPERS JOHN DILLON PARK This show is very dear to us in that it provides
the disabled with an opportunity to get out and fully enjoy the
wild Adirondacks we often speak about.
SHOW
#306 With our fishing segments over for the year we decide to take a look at all the BMW’s in the Park. No not the famous car company but bears, moose and wolves. It is a fascinating show as we are joined by Ken Kogut Regional Wildlife Manager and Ed Reed Wildlife Biologist of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. With the ever increasing number of moose collisions, bear confrontations and the possibility of wolf sightings this show has it all. Our tip is on the type and use of bear canisters.
SHOW
#307
MAPLE SYRUP, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IN THE ADIRONDACK What’s all natural, golden brown, sweet and goes with everything from pancakes to peanuts? Why maple syrup of course! The Adirondacks have a rich history of maple syrup production and we will take a look at the past at the Haskell Yancey farms, the present with the Zehr family and the future at the Uhlein Research Center in lake Placid. Join us and help sample the finished product. This week tip is on taping a maple tree.
SHOW
#308 BUYING LAND AND BUILDING A HOME IN THE ADIRONDACK PARK-PART 1 This is the first of a two part show and in this show we highlight the importance of doing your homework and following the steps we outline if you plan on purchasing land and/or building a home here in the Park. It is certainly not like in your local area as here you have to work with the Adirondack Park Agency (who has jurisdiction over everything here in the Park), the Department of Environmental Conservation as well as the Adirondack Land Trust/Nature Conservancy and then your local town you may be in. While this all may seem quite daunting it is necessary and we will walk you through it. We will also go on a “saw dust” tour at the Original Lincoln Logs factory in Chestertown NY. And set the stage for the next show
SHOW
#309 BUILDING THAT LOG HOME OF YOUR DREAMS PART 2 On this show we will go through the same process
we went through when we selected Lincoln Logs as our home supplier.
We will meet the people there and walk through the steps from
concept, design, delivery and construction of our log home. When
they say at Lincoln Logs “we don’t just deliver you
a home we deliver you your dream” they mean it as this is
truly a dream come true. We will take you on a “this new
house” tour from design and actual construction and completion
We will meet with the builder and work with them as they constructs
our log home.
SHOW
#310 SHOWSHOE HIKING IN THE BACKCOUNTRY We join Dave Mallard, Education Workshop Coordinator for ADK on a snowshoe hike to the top of Mt Joe near the Adirondack Loj High Peaks area. Dave will show us what equipment he carries in his pack on showshoe hikes into the backcountry and we will visit the Mountaineer in Keene Valley for a look at proper gear for snowshoe hiking
SHOW
#311 CANOE BUILDING - THE OLD AND THE NEW On this stop we visit 2 very different type of canoe builders, one a history buff and builder of an authentic birch bark canoe and another the very technical Charley Wilson and Joe Moore of Lake Placid Boatworks. Join us as we take a look at the old and the new along with a lesson on proper paddling strokes while canoeing open waters.
SHOW
#312
Save the fire towers!! Or not? That is the question we explore as we hike Azure, Goodnow and Hurricane mountain towers both in the winter and summer. We will hear from 2 contrasting points of view on which towers should be saved and which removed.
SHOW
#313 Another Fan favorite! Our final stop of this season visits Whiteface Mountain , the Mackenzie Intervale Ski Jumping Complex and the Verizon Sports Complex to look at these exciting sports. Later Ian Osteyee of Adirondack Mountain Guides will teach us the fundamentals of ice climbing with a surprise ending. |
