The latest from the Gang ... 

A total of 11 members joined us on this most memorable trip, given all of the necessary precautions and restrictions that we have been experiencing during the COVID-19 health crisis. For sure, all of us were fortunate to secure rooms at the Grand Summit Hotel which is at the base of Sunday River Resort, i.e.,” ski-in/ski-out”, affording ready access to two ski lifts at the base of a small hill near the exterior of the hotel. Luckily, we as a group were able to meet daily at the start of each day, right outside the hotel, and easily ski out to the slopes!

Ski conditions during the first three days were exemplary, and a good number of our group remained on the slopes for most of the these days.

Already scheduled is a Sunday River trip for 2022 in late February, and more often than not, we can anticipate stellar skiing conditions at this popular resort!

On a snowy Tuesday afternoon, ten cheerful members of the South Mystery Group and one cat got together on ZOOM to elect our new group leader. First things first. The group recounted recent events and their individual experiences in hunting for the COVID-19 Vaccine. As always, and very optimistically, we shared ideas about restaurants and venues for our future outdoor gatherings.
After a few seconds of member harassment, Maureen happily volunteered to become our fearless leader.
Thank you so much Maureen! We appreciate it.

All ten TOHG members who x-country skied in Carlisle on February 11th enjoyed it. We skied from about 10:30 to noon in two groups and then had lunch or a snack at a picnic table. If you go back there again, please check their website (greatbrookski.com) for conditions. It is best to give them a day to groom after a snowfall. I hope to be able to lead a group there again, but maybe not be until next year.
