I just spoke with the director at Pine Hill Ski Club, 4-5 inches of new powder on top of 4-12" base which along with the fresh pancakes at Robb's Hutt, and weather forecast for partly sunny mid 30s west winds 10-15mph, all sounds like a perfect day for skiing Saturday Robb's Hut is a great warming hut out on the trails (see photo) and this Saturday only you can enjoy a fresh made batch of pancakes (blueberry, banana, or plain) for a mere $5 donation So let's meet at the ski club's trailhead parking
http://www.pinehillsk... 10:30AM buy ski pass, and be ready to ski by 11AM to enjoy a nice casual novice-intermediate ski to Robb's Hut for a noon-ish pancake brunch then back out to enjoy lots more of the 13 mile/20 kilometers of trails. And for an after ski dinner meal, there's the fine Flying Goose Brew Pub&Grille on rt11, just before getting on rt89, to relax and fuel the body back up for the ride home. Its about a 90 minute drive from Boston, I93 to I89. Interested in carpooling, I have room for 2 passengers with skiis and am also just around the corner from the N.Billerica commuter rail T station for those with no car. * no rentals on site, but X-C ski and snowshoe rentals are available just down the road at Village Sports at 394 Main St. across from town green in New London [masked]).

Since it was my first meetup event I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a fantastic time. Despite the warm weather and the sicky snow the place was worth it. In addition we had the best reward of all: homemade pancakes and coffee. How can you go wrong with such a treat? I'm coming back if and when we get more snow. A big thanks to the organizers!

this place is beautiful the hut trail proved to be too much for me so I headed back and did the sundown trail. What a great trail for a beginner to enjoy.

Hi, Rick! Yes, I think some of the trails are the same as the old Norsk, but I think the entry point to them is now different. Have fun this weekend! Wish I could go. I have many fond memories of time spent on the Norsk trails and would love to get back there sometime. Kathy

Just curious, is this ski club at the same location where "Norsk" used to operate trails?

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
