SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack Snowshoe Fest is still on for this weekend, despite rain and warm weather that melted much of the local snow this week.

Village Trustee Richard Shapiro, one of the event’s co-chairs, said all the snowshoe races will go on as scheduled, but organizers have canceled a Snowshoe Stomp party that had been planned for Saturday evening at Dewey Mountain Recreation Area. The event would have included bonfires, hot chocolate and a snowshoe walk through the woods under lights.

“The trail conditions are not quite good enough for us to hold the event at night,” Shapiro said.

Saturday’s Snowshoe Fest events will take place at Dewey Mountain on state Route 3 on the west side of Saranac Lake. These are 5K and 10K races, starting at 1 p.m.

On Sunday, the fest moves to the Paul Smith’s College VIC in Paul Smiths, with a 10:30 a.m. start for two races: one 5K and one 15K.

There will also be two guided snowshoe tours: one Saturday at Dewey and one Sunday at the VIC.

After the VIC races Sunday, there will be a snowshoe-based scavenger hunt, an obstacle course and a screening of the new documentary movie “Saving Snow,” about how climate change affects places that rely on winter sports and tourism.

The 5K races, especially the “Shoe-Be-Doo” at Dewey, are likely to include many people walking for the fun of it rather than racing competitively, Shapiro said. Meanwhile, the 10K and 15K races count for Empire State Snowshoe series points. There will also be cash prizes for the top three places in the 10K, 15K and combined 10K and 15K, male and female.

All events are free to anyone 18 years old and under, courtesy of Adirondack Health. For adults, registration costs $24.50 per race or $36.50 for two. It costs $5 to go on a guided snowshoe tour. Registration opens online at tinyurl.com/adksnowshoe or in person two hours before the races.

Each venue is likely working hard to do make the snow conditions as good as they can be, but they’re fighting the damage done by temperatures that broke 60 degrees Wednesday.
