Outdoor Club of South Jersey

A Message from the X/C Skiing & Snowshoeing Chair

Kudos to our leaders for putting together another great line up of cross country ski trips.  Whether you are a beginner or expert, or if you like to snowshoe, there is something here for you.  2010 was an excellent year for skiing, with tons of snow, and lots of skiers signing up to enjoy our trips.  And we are putting together another great schedule for 2011, with a couple new trips.  The schedule below is only a brief description.  See the website for more details and prices.   It may seem odd to be planning for your next adventure on the snow while you are still sweltering with summer’s heat, but this is the ideal time to make your move.  Select the trips that interest you and call the leaders for more information.  Don’t wait till the snow falls and be shut out because the trip is full.   Watch the website for an announcement of the date for the fall meeting, usually in Oct, to get a chance to meet the leaders and hear more about the trips.  An ideal time to sign-up.
