The Catskill Chronicle

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY (December 17, 2012) – The Catskill Nordic Ski Club recently finalized its schedule for the upcoming ski season.

The club offers informal guided cross-country ski trips on some of Sullivan County’s most beautiful trails. Most of the trips are free, except where noted, and last about two hours.

All ski trips are scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. on a Saturday – unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the weather and/or snow conditions, the leader may choose to reschedule to Sunday or change the hour or location or to hold a winter hike. Leaders will be prepared to help and encourage new members.
