We have again coordinated with Dave and Scott from Frog Meadow Bed & Breakfast in southern VT for a mid-February weekend for a Winter Cross-Country Ski Getaway. This is an opportunity for Newbies to learn how to cross-country ski, plus this year we are hosting a Saturday afternoon LGBTQ Apres-Ski Social Mixer! Please join us and add to the fun!
Weekend Overview:
Wine & Cheese Welcome Gathering! We will kickoff the weekend on Friday evening with a wine & cheese welcome and social hour. Based on everyone’s arrival time there may be an (optional) informal pizza party.
Delicious Full Country Breakfasts! Saturday & Sunday mornings will start the day with a hearty, full country breakfast.
Cross Country Skiing! This year we’ll be Cross-Country Skiing at the nearby Brattleboro Outing Club’s 33K of groomed trails at the Brattleboro Country Club. Equipment rentals and lessons are available and there is snowshoeing too, if that tickles your fancy!
Saturday LGBTQ Apres-Ski Reception! Join us for an LGBTQ Apres-Ski Reception & Social Mixer on Saturday from 3.30-5.00 at the Country Club’s Bella Notte Restaurant & Lounge, complete with snacks and a cash bar!
