Want to have some laid-back wintery fun on the MLK holiday, and take advantage of the new snow (fingers crossed!)? Join us to go cross-country skiing at Great Brook Farm (snow permitting) or Weston Ski Track. These are both groomed cross-country ski tracks that are great for learning to cross-country ski for the first time, honing your skills, or getting some mileage in.
This will be a relatively short, chill day--we plan to leave campus at 9 and be back by 4.
If the unseasonably warm weather persists and we do not get enough snow for either option to be viable, we may go for a hike at the Fells instead.
A trail pass at Great Brook or Weston Ski Track is $13. Depending on available MITOC gear, it may be necessary to rent equipment from the ski track ($15 at Great Brook, $20 at Weston).
