Dear DOC,

If you don't have classes on Friday Feb. 13, I'd like to invite you to join me on a ski tour to explore the trails at Green Woodlands in Lyme Center, NH (out past the Skiway and past Hinman Cabin).  Green Woodlands is a tract of land comparable in size to the Second College Grant, and it is criss-crossed with a network of spectacular groomed xc ski trails open to the local community.   As the owner tells visitors, the price of admission is your smile and respect for the property.  With the new fresh snow and cold temperatures we've had, conditions there have never been better.   The terrain is easy- to moderate, so you don't have to be an expert skier, but you should be comfortable on xc skis.   Equipment will be provided if you don't have your own.  (We'll be using classic touring skis, not skate skis.)  Space is limited, and I need to confirm how many sets of skis are needed, so please sign up in advance by contacting me before 9:00 Thursday  morning.

  *   The trip is free, and there is no charge for ski equipment for DOC members
     *   Please let me know by Thursday morning if you need to check out skis or will be bringing your own
     *   Participants will be able to get touring skis, boots, and poles from the ski and skate center at the DOC House at Occom Pond on Thursday during normal hours (10 am to 6 pm)
  *   Meet at 8:30 in the Robinson Hall on Friday, Feb. 13
  *   Bring appropriate clothing for a ski tour, a day pack with an extra warm layer or two, water bottle, and a lunch/snacks
  *   We will return to campus by 2:00 pm
  *   Sign up in advance and confirm equipment needs by emailing me before 9:00 am Thursday:  [log in to unmask]
  *   Feel free to email or call with any questions.

Cheers
Dan
