Questions about best routes from Las Vegas to the Adirondacks

Thanks. I have "summer tires" according to my mechanic. I'm moving back to North Country and will driving to work about 1 hour a day roundtrip - so I know I'll need all weather tires when I get there. I'm just not sure "summer tires" will handle the cross country drive in December.

Thanks Donna - this is all very helpful!

One thing not mentioned - is there a particular reason for having Lake George as a target point?

The reasoning behind that being that much of the Lake George proper area is things that are not open in the winter, including even many of the motel type lodgings. Even McDonalds (though it is now permanently closed) used to close for the winter when it was around - not something you see too often these days (unlike in their early years).

It can certainly be a base area if you want to explore the more natural things (including many options for skiing of both downhill and cross country), and there are other places that are reasonably close by (reasonably being within an hour or 90 minutes in different directions).

Just wanted to be sure you didn't get all the way here only to find not much available, given that some areas (such as where you are in Las Vegas) are much more year round and might not be something everyone would think of about other locations :)
