| redmond | Warm and Slushy  Date Climbed: Jan 2, 2010 | |
| Headed up Slide from the West after visiting Panther in the morning. The warm weather and rain the previous days had melted most of the snow from the storm the week before. Trail was slushy but not too bad, although there were a few sections covered in ice that made me happy to have brought my microspikes along. Decent views but very few people. Great day to be in the Catskills. | ||

| Hoverla | Slide Mountain Winter climb | |
| A warm day in March way back in 1991. It was more of a slush climb than snow climb and temperatures were comfortably in the high fifties. Used the western approach and walking through the slush added some challenge. Excellent views from the summit which had quite a few people.

| Grampahawk | Burned a lot of calories Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2010 | |
| We did the loop from the Wittenberg/Cornell side. Lots of great scrambles made it very enjoyable. No water to be found across the top of Wittenberg and Cornell. There was finally a little spring just off the trail a few hundred feet before the summit. Once over the summit of Slide it was basically a walk in the woods back to the trailhead. | |

| PaulRomano | Easy climb Date Climbed: May 15, 2010 | |
| Followed the yellow trail from Slide Mountain Trailhead to the red trail leading to the top. Skies were clear and temperatures weren't too high making for a perfect day of hiking! | |

| tioga | Snowshoe Date Climbed: Feb 13, 2010 | |
| Climbed from the Slide Mtn. parking lot on Rt. 47 via the Phoenicia-East and Wittenberg-Slide-Cornell Trails with snowshoes. Had a fun time with my wife as we climbed up but didn't spend much time on top. | |

| Eleutheros | Silver and Cold Date Climbed: Jan 8, 2010 | |
| The path was challenging without snowshoes, yet each step yielded the rewards of a breathtaking winter landscape frozen in time. Fleeting sunshine, tunnels of snowbound evergreens, ice-clad creeks and the delicate imprints of rabbits' feet embued the silent landscape with life and wonder. | |

| Very cold day. Used snowshoes. Some deep snow near the summit but not really any views. Nonetheless, a memorable solo hike. | |

| Hotoven | Nice Warm up hike Date Climbed: Dec 26, 2008 | |
| This was fun to do in the winter given all the snow we had to get through, and it being a short hike. So it took a while but was just a warm up for the next day. Perfect little warm up hike, but it was fogged in at the top. | |

| MtnLdr | I Hate Catskill Trails Date Climbed: May 2, 2009 | |
| Maybe I'm just spoiled, but the majority of trails (maintained) that I traveled out West were not so rough (aside from the length and altitude.) These trails out here are closer to 2nd class hiking. I did love the approach from the East, lots of great class 3, and steep, steep sections of trail. Not so great a view from the top. Wittenberg, and the ridge to Cornell was better | |
