Name of XC Area: Art Roscoe XC Ski Area / Allegany State Park Times that I have skied there: Weekly I last skied there in: Jan, 2004 Trails that I skied: all of them My favorite trails: leonard ridge patterson Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 5 stars What I liked: Trails are layed out very nice several of them you do not even notice when you are climbing a hill. The scenery is second to none with overlooks and leantos for an occaisional break. What I disliked: Some of the trails close to the ski center tend to be a little crowded, this easily cured just ski the longer trails.
