Originally a telemark ski collective and quickly branching outwards, Northcountry Kneedroppers is a community ski project based in and formed by the Adirondack Mountains.
Lets face it, skiing in the Daks is weird. Our best ski routes are terrain traps with avalanche risk and the densest woods skiing you could dream of. When you combine this with our signature long approaches we cook up some pretty unique and challenging backcountry ski scenarios. Despite all of this, NorthCountry skiers have been exploring these mountains for a century and constantly adapting to have the best winter experiences possible.
What does this mean to Noco Kneedroppers?
More than ever having the right gear, knowledge, community, and trail access is necessary to get the most out of skiing in the Park. Noco is here to provide a supportive and accessible ADK ski community where having fun, keeping it weird, and responsible recreation are the staples of every ski excursion.
Also we Tele, that's important too.
Whiteface might be our home mountain, but Pisgah is our home hill. Each Tuesday (with snow) we partner with Pisgah Mtn. in Saranac Lake to put on Tele Tuesdays. The NOCO gang shows up with our entire demo fleet of tele gear. Come by and ski with the gang and make the most of our long winter nights. Demo gear is free but donations are accepted. Check our Instagram for updates. See you Tuesdays at 6:00 PM!
We host group ski outings most weeks during the winter. These meetups are a great opportunity to explore local backcountry ski spots and keep your BC skiing skills sharp. Advertised via our Instagram
We are proud to host film premiers each season. Our next showing is in partnership with Tele Colo and The Mountaineer at their ski kickoff film night on Dec. 7th 2024. Details on the Mountaineer's events page.
The first Sunday in March is our annual Tele ADK Day. We take over the slopes of Pisgah and have Demo gear from High Peaks Cyclery, Scarpa, DPS, J skis, Bishop, 22 Designs, Fischer, and Alpina. On top of an amazing gear selection we host some telemark competitions like our famous Tele Limbo and a sweet gear raffle. See you March 2nd!
