Description: (This event will also run on March 7 ( click here )! Join us for one or both days.)
Join the Western MA and Worcester 20s & 30s for a day of cross-country skiing in the Berkshires. All abilities are welcome!
We'll meet at Notchview, located in Windsor, MA, in the mid-morning and break the day up into two halves with lunch in the warm lodge in between.
Morning: Open ski (for those with experience) or a lesson (for beginners or those who want to brush up on their skills). Afternoon: Break into groups to explore the many trail options (over 25 miles) at Notchview! Mileage and difficulty levels dependent on group interests, skills, and conditions.
Participants are responsible for their own trail passes ($20 for Trustees members, $22 for non-members). Rentals are available on a first come-first served basis ($23 for adults). We strongly encourage beginners and those brand new to Nordic skiing to take a lesson ($33 for adults, includes pass/rental/lesson). Leaders are willing to provide tips and informal instruction for those who desire. Participants should have some prior experience with winter conditions, including knowing how to layer to regulate body heat. The Worcester Chapter has some gear available for those who would like to borrow; please contact the leaders to learn more or if you have questions. Participants are required to bring the following: Lunch, 1-2 liters of water, snacks Small backpack or hip pack to carry gear Synthetic/wool baselayer (no cotton) top and bottom Synthetic/wool midlayer top Breathable shell top and bottom Neck gaiter, hat (or headband; two recommended), gloves (liner and water-resistant outer pair) Please disregard the difficulty rating (“4-moderate”) assigned in the trip posting.
