Update for Sunday.....

First things first:  The bus to Sassi is scheduled to leave at 8:00.   Dress warmly, bring heavy gloves, jackets and warm socks. 


Jeff Walker and I will be leading a "tour de Falmouth" ski tour on Sunday.  Times and details to follow after the race tomorrow.  We'll probably start in the morning and go from Blackstrap hill to Community park.  Parents are welcome!! 

We will meet at Community park at 9:00, shuttle to Blackstrap hill preserve  and ski from there back to the park.  Then we will drive to Maddens for snacks and/or lunch. Below is the checklist from last year.    

Do not show up unprepared!


Please bring:
a dry shirt to put on after the trip
a small to medium back pack
a water bottle (full)
a couple of lightweight snacks
extra warm socks (in addition to the ones you will be wearing)
extra heavy mitts (in addition to the ones you will be wearing)
a face mask
hand and toe warmers
some money for lunch at Madden's after the trip
a cell phone
layers of clothing
touring or waxless skis if you have them.  Classic race skis might be ok (but not ideal)  if you are in the back of the pack so that the trail can be broken ahead of you.

Also:
Eat a big, healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water in the morning.

Remember this will be a strenuous trip, we will be skiing through deep snow.  This is much more tiring than skiing on a groomed trail.  Be sure that you are up for this type of trek. You need to be a strong skier.  No one should feel any pressure to attend.  This is optional.  You could, alternatively, go to Pineland or Riverside or to the High school trails.
