Bear Notch at 9:30 am

Thursday, March 19, 2020

The forecast for Thursday looks cloudy with temps in the mid to high 30's. Maybe some snow flurries. I think it should be good for a ski, not the sunny spring day that would be perfect, but a good opportunity to get outside with friends at an appropriate social distance.

I skied at Bear Notch Ski Touring today, saw many friends, it was excellent. The lodge is closed, so no soup or bread. The office is closed, so they have a bucket out for donations for their continued grooming efforts. If you have been skiing Prospect Farm and want a change, I think you will be very pleased with the trails at Bear Notch, good coverage, clean white snow. I think it will be worth doing again tomorrow, with the opportunity to head out on the snowmobile trails in the experimental forest and over to Bear Notch Road.

Meet at the Bear Notch Ski Touring Parking lot at 9:30 am.

Since there is sunshine and temps in the 40's predicted for the weekend, check back on this blog for perhaps a Saturday Sunshiny Spring Skiing day!


Here we are last week at Bear Notch Ski Touring last week, practicing Laurel's posing technique:
