Outdoor Club of South Jersey

2021 Cross Country Ski Schedule

Details

Seven nights for cross country skiing/snowshoeing in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. Five excellent groomed ski venues and oodles of hiking trails are in the area. The group will choose a main xc venue each day, but individuals may opt for their own venue or activity (e.g. snowshoeing). Equipment rentals and lessons are available. This is a great trip! North Conway itself is a charming village with lots of restaurants, outlet stores, cute shops, and necessities such as grocery stores.

This year we will be staying at Swiss Chalets Village Inn, just North of North Conway. We do not have a reserved block of rooms at a guaranteed price. Each person must reserve their own room. This allows for choice in the type of room and number of days you participate. Approximate rate through booking.com is $534 per room with 2 double beds (including breakfast) for 7 nights. Rates may change and may be different through different websites. Rooms include refrigerators and microwaves, which make cheaper eating options possible.

If you want to go, please follow these steps:
1. Reserve your room at the Swiss Chalets Village Inn. You are not on the event until you complete steps 2 and 3!
2. Email me to let me know you have a room and are on the trip. Let me know the dates you have reserved for. Please include your cell phone number.
3. Lastly, click the “attend” button on the Bicycling/Cross Country Ski MeetUp site so that others know who is on the trip. You may need to join this free OCSJ MeetUp separately from the hiking and kayak sites.

All participants must be paid members of OCSJ.

If you know you want to go I suggest that you book a room ASAP. It is unclear how long rooms will be available. Reservations can be cancelled (at least if you book through booking.com).

If you have any questions please contact me at bbrandt46@gmail.com.
