Invitation to Nordic skiers apres-ski season social!

The Ski Touring Section (STS) of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) will be hosting an end-of-season social on Sunday afternoon, March 24th. The event has been opened up to all in this Meetup group! Regardless whether you have been on an STS ski trip this winter, this is a great opportunity to meet other Nordic skiers in the Washington metro area, to get and share info on your favorite skiing venues, to recount memorable trip experiences, and to learn of the Section's likely ski trip offerings for next winter. Many of the best trips fill up early, so being an STS member gives one advanced notice and thus a leg up in signing up.

Full details on the apres-ski social are in the February issue of Upslope, the STS newsletter. You can find this issue at the STS web site -- http://www.patc.us/chapters/ski/. Just click on the Upslope link and download the February 2013 .pdf issue. The party will take place at a neat house overlooking the Potomac River near the American Legion Bridge. It's a pot-luck affair, so please bring a favorite dish to share that is either healthy fare or something sinfully delicious! Teh Section will provide the liquid refreshments. For those interested, we'll have some digital photos of several of this winter's STS ski trips to New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and places more local. If you have a favorite ski venue you would love to lead a trip to, definitely come and talk to the Section leadership about becoming a trip leader.

The STS annual meeting starts at 4 p.m. The social starts at 5 p.m. Arrive at whichever time better suits you.

This is the last major social event of this Meetup group till next fall's Ski Fair. The Fair will take place at PATC headquarters in Vienna in early November.

So come out to this March apres-ski and have fun!
