I'll be leading two trips this winter, Craftsbury, and Highland Center. Craftsbury is in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and Highland Center is in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. Skiing is primo in both places. Craftsbury fills very quickly, and the Highland trip only has 12 spaces. We'll be taking checks for Craftsbury on Sept. 1, and Highland on Oct. 1. If you are interested in the Craftsbury trip, it is best to e-mail Jeri Jaminet and let her know. See descriptions below. Any qestions, call or email.

**** Notes on Highland Trip -- 1)We plan to go up the lift and X-country ski down the other side of the mountain at Bretton Woods. 2) If you do not want to stay in the bunks, then you can try to reserve a regular room- double beds, private bath etc, on your own. Family style rooms are also available with extra beds and private bath. I STRONGLY recommend that you reserve early. Just let Jim or I know you'll be there, and we will send you all the info so that you can join us for meals, skiing, etc. 3) There are also discount cross country and downhill tickets for Bretton Woods available at Highland Center. 4) If you are not an avanced/ intermediate skier, you are welcome, but you'll have to entertain yourself or find someone else on the trip to ski with.
