Backcountry Ski Shuttles
2021-2022 season – Expected to run, selected dates!

New Procedure – Minimum 2 people for all backcountry ski shuttles.

Please Check Back for updates!

The North Creek Business Alliance in association with their North Creek Shuttles, provides an access shuttle to the backcountry ski trails on Barton Mines Road.  Ride up and Ski Back!  These are cross country ski trails with some uphill sections so backcountry skis are usually required with a no-wax pattern, grip wax or skins – NO BOOT PACKING.  Snowshoers also welcome.  Skiers are shuttled up to the Barton Mines Road Trailhead (about 5 miles by road).  The ski down back to Rt. 28 Trailhead or The Ski bowl is 3.5 miles with alternative routes up Rabbit Pond Trail.

Knot Dead – Grateful Dead Tribute Band Aug 17, 2019

by | Jan 5, 2019

Saturday August 17, 2019 5-8PM 
A continuation of that good Ol’ Grateful sound, Knot Dead has been playing music in the North East since 2004.  What started as an acoustic duo featuring Mike Urbon and Evan Lewis has grown over the years into its current formation featuring Dan Gerken, Nora Riccardi, and Sean Kanawada.  They have played in small hometown bars like T-Bone’s Tavern for their Annual Gathering of Friends, a day in celebration of the music of Jerry Garcia, to the Hollow in Albany NY, opening and backing David Gans, the famous Grateful Dead Hour radio show host.  No matter the venue or event, Knot Dead brings an organic, energetic, musical energy that leaves Dead Heads, old and young alike, smiling and craving more.
