Light Installation Inspiration for Art Project Slated for 2011Artists Matt Burnett and Scott Fuller were prepared to battle the rain to work on their artistic formations out of snow, but the temperatures and rapid thaw depleted snow supplies too quickly. Matt surmised sustaining the project for the allotted week of exhibition would have required a blast of artic air and it didn’t look likely this late in the game.
There is still evidence of snowpack on the snowmobile trails, but the large piles around town have visibly diminished. The channel under the bridge has opened up, the south end has opened up and while certain sections of the lake still boast several inches of ice, the slush weakens it and the lake is merely a widening in the river, so currents do affect change under the surface… so common sense rules.
Matt and Scott have an art opening slated for Summer 2010 in Saranac Lake and will collaborate next season to make their art installation come alive. Matt anticipates having the time will allow for more planning and looks forward to placing more formations in and around the village of L Light Installation Inspiration for Art Project Slated for 2011Artists Matt Burnett and Scott Fuller were prepared to battle the rain to work on their artistic formations out of snow, but the temperatures and rapid thaw depleted snow supplies too quickly.

Gabe Farr Waits to Race Bright beautiful and slushy describes Sunday, March 7th for the final day of the New York State Vintage Snosled races. Brian Farr vigilantly plowed the ice track for several days leading up to the final event, determined to make the track ride able. On Friday the pond boasted 20 inches of ice and according to the guide base on clear, blue, hard ice on no-running waters, that should hold about 25 tons. Of course slush ice is weaker and there was plenty of that as the day wore on.
A snowmobile race in Long Lake elicits winter memories of the 100 miler. The humming noise as the engine revs and the track spins, the smoky haze and familiar smell of snowmobile exhaust all tell a story of adrenaline, competition and passion for speed, the snowmobile race always revered as a Long Lake tradition. The ball field was crowded with trailers hailing from all over New York State. A roster of folks who have been traveling the winter circuit since the middle of January.
