There were great snow conditions for skiing last year and here's hoping for more of the same in 2010..can you believe it!!

There is a also a tuesday group including some OTHH members doing winter hiking to NH 4000 footers...Some 52 WAV hikes will also be included. These are leaders choice hikes as weather conditions can change drastically and quickly.. Typically I would post a tuesday hike on sunday evening with hike suggestions, expected conditions, and suggested and required gear. This should be considered a safe though advanced group ..not for beginners. If you would like to be added to the email list drop me a note at marktaub@metrocast.net and I will get in touch.


and the usual stuff:
Leader's responsibilities: Organize and brief the group on expected route and conditions..make the decision "to go" or "no go" as conditions warrant.. Wait at all trail junctions to see that the group is still together. Please find an alternate leader if unable to fulfill your commitment...Have fun!!..Proper first aid kit, available at Mocha Rizing, should be carried

Group responsibilities: Follow the leader and their instructions as needed. Stay with the group..while there are faster and slower skiers and hikers these events are designed to be group activities so for everyone's winter safety please stay with the group..

Dues: we continue to toe the line on expenses..For mailings and other misc costs we ask a $5.00 per YEAR per participant fee. Please send cash or check made out to Mary Cullen, Box 312, Center Sandwich NH 03227

EMail:..Hopefully people enjoy the blogspot..I am always looking for pics or trip reports. In an effort to minimize mailings updates will be sent out via email and website updates. Lists of the 4000 footers, 52WAV, and lists of members who have completed their various rounds are available.. Contact Mark at marktaub@metrocast.net with updates

please note that there will be a planning meeting for spring and summer hikes
April 1...no foolin!!! at the Benz Center, Center Sandwich NH.. 11:30 am..bring lunch

as a side note..for those of you who like to hike with canine friends..there is interest in having some dog friendly hikes next summer and fall..if any are interested in participating or leading some of these hikes please let me know

thank you and have a great winter season
