I was just there hiking for a few days! It was a gorgeous place!

Uhm, but please don't plant in the snow on some of those crazy rocky climbs... I don't think sledding down those is a good idea.

I was hiking some of the Thomas Cole sites - http://www.hudsonriverschool.org/trails/1 - so I guess I wasn't exactly in Catskill. Kaaterskill Falls and North-South Lake were wonderful, and I'm happy to have an excuse to go back (as long as holiday plans don't get in the way).

I've done some hiking on those trails. It's a beautiful area, though I quite agree that I'd prefer not to do it in snow! From what Phoenix Rizing said, though, it sounds like the event will be closer to the town of Catskill itself, though.

Just remember, Thomas Cole and Frederick Church (among others) did those same climbs with easels and canvases and all sorts of artist's equipment on their backs!
