This is a four-day weekend celebration of all things “winter”. Activities include cross-country, backcountry and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, and winter mountaineering. We will be staying four nights at the Trail’s End Inn in the heart of the Adirondacks, where dinners and breakfasts are included. You can either bring your own lunches or arrange for the friendly hosts to make one for you. Objectives can be discussed with the trip leaders.
