Winter Weekend
Come join the 3500 Club Winter Weekend January 27-29, 2012! Do you need any winter peaks? Do you want to get more comfortable with snowshoeing? All 4 required winter peaks will be led by experienced hike leaders so you can pack in two fun-filled days in the outdoors and spend a great weekend in the beautiful Catskills. If you already have your required peaks and are working on your winter round, or if you just want to get away, you can join in too!As last year's weekend was so popular, we will once again be at the Frost Valley YMCA - a great setting not only for hiking, but also for cross-country skiing. There are two housing options available: the Lakeview Lodge, which is a regular hotel-like setting at $131 per person double occupancy, both nights included. The other choice is the Biscuit Brook Lodge, a large cabin with bunks at $35 per person covering both nights, which has a central meeting space with a fireplace (perfect after a day of playing in the snow!). There are 2 rooms that sleep 6 and 6 rooms that sleep 4, so if you have friends you want to bunk with or if a couple wants to pay double to have their own room, there are lots of options available. Bathrooms are shared and further information is available the Frost Valley Website.
Food costs for the entire weekend are only $80 per person and this includes all meals from Friday night to Sunday morning. On Saturday evening there will be ample opportunity to socialize with fellow club members around the fireplace (bring your own bottle), and enjoy the ambience of the Frost Valley setting.
To make a reservation or for more details please contact Maria Bedo: winterweekend@catskill-3500-club.org or at 917-881-9272.
