Sunday November 17 in case of bad weather. Contact John Barron (613-828-2296, johnbarron@sympatico.ca) or Marianne Hebert (315-265-0756, hebertm@potsdam.edu).

Sat, Dec 21: Solstice Ski to Clear Pond Ski into Clear Pond in the White Hill Wild Forest in Parishville. It is 1.9 mi. from the paved road (where we park) to the pond, following a snowmobile trail. The trail continues along the north side of the pond. Depending on how far we can go, the round-trip will be 4 to 5 miles. This is a moderately strenuous trip. It will be weather dependent for skiing. We will hike if there is no snow. Contact David Trithart, dtrithar@twcny.rr.com.
