Next Outing

Canceled: X-C Skiing in the woods on snowmobile trails

Join us for a morning outing cross-country skiing on trails that are used by snowmobiles and are usually groomed. These are mostly old woods roads and some side trails that make for 2 loops with a straight stretch in between. The trails are mostly flat with a couple easy slopes. We can also ski by a couple ponds at the old Topsham land fill. This area makes for a scenic ski outing where we can watch for animal tracks and enjoy being surrounded by woods. We'll set a moderate pace. I'd call this an easy outing if you are used to skiing for2-3 hours. Be sure to email Michelle to register and include a bit of info on your x-c skiing experience and include a phone contact. A fully detailed description will be emailed to you after registration. Call if you have any questions.
