Sandy and I have been active in the Harrisburg, PA, based Kick 'n Gliders Nordic Ski Club for quite a few years. The club sponsors about a dozen weekend or week trips each year. The emphasis is strictly on cross-country skiing although some of the places we go also lend themselves to downhill skiing and/or snowshoeing. Most of the trips are in the northeast US, but in recent years we've planned a few excursions into Canada and out to the west, notably the Lake Tahoe, CA, region.

Sandy and I go on most of the weekend/week trips and are active in trip planning and leadership. In a typical year we ski between 200 and 300 miles. As a result of these trips, we have a pretty good knowledge of skiing facilities, both commercial and public, in the areas we ski. Specifically, we can provide detailed information about the following areas:

• New York State: Lake Placid, Northville (Lapland Lake area), North River (Garnet Hill area), Inlet/Old Forge and the east and west sides of the Tug Hill area.
• Vermont: Craftsbury, Stowe and Mansfield areas.
• Pennsylvania: Black Forest,Crystal Lake and Laurel Highlands.
• California:Lake Tahoe area.
• Canada: Near Ottawa

Don't hesitate to contact me if you want further information.

Following are a few trip reports that appeared in the Kick 'n Gliders monthly newsletter, The Easy Glider, which I edited for a number of years.

Enjoy!
