Always dreamed of skating miles and miles on some natural ice? Join us for a day of ice skating on Lake Morey, VT.

The lake has a groomed trail that is 3.5 miles long and 20 feet wide, and is cleared from snow. It is managed jointly by the town of Fairlee and a resort, and conditions are closely monitored. We plan on aiming for 10.5 miles total, and be on the ice for ~3-4hrs.

Experience

You should...

• Be a proficient ice skater to join this trip. This trip is to skate distance NOT to learn how to skate.
• Own comfortable ice skates (nordic or hockey skates. Figure skates might not be comfortable on wild ice).
• Have or rent comfortable winter hiking clothing as you learned from winter school (windproof shell is especially important for wild ice skating)

You DONT have to have wild ice/nordic ice skating experience. Note that there are also rentals at the resort, but we aren't totally sure how this works or how expensive this could be.

Please reach out to us if you are interested in joining, but unsure if you have the experience!

Plan

• The plan is to drive up on Sunday morning. This is a long drive (2.5hrs) (option to stay at MITOC cabin in Camelot the night before). Expect a departure from Boston around 7-8am.
• If we have some more time on the ice, we can try out some Nordic ice skates and equipment.
• We can have a warm beverage at the resort or in town after!
