Winter: The January to March snowshoe and winter hiking schedule will be posted here and mailed with the
December newsletter. Winter trips above treeline in the Whites are limited to members who have done our winter
skills day. No exceptions, and please don't ask the leaders to make one.
Want to lead a hike? We always need leaders, especially for E hikes on Sundays. You don't have to be an
expert. You have to know the route, carry a first aid kit, and count heads at every junction. Talk to me and I'll
pair you with an experienced leader the first time.
Trips Chair: Phyllis Adomaitis
E-mail: [email protected]
Membership: $15 a year individual, $20 family. Includes the newsletter.
