Founded in 1980, we are a ski club in the Middle Atlantic (Philadelphia area) that is 100% dedicated to cross country skiing. Because we are run by volunteers, we can offer our members trips that have excellent skiing as well as exceptional value. We hope you can join us.
SAVE THE DATE!
Due the this year's great success we have reserved February 20-23 for the 2009 trip!
Please check for updated information and registration forms in the late summer.
BTW - The New Hope Nordics are now accepting proposals for additional trips. Please contact Snow Man or Webserf at the addresses below and we will forward them to the trip committee.

Professional ski lessons for all levels are available. If conditions permit, a vast array of backcountry trails will be open. Downhill ski resorts are also nearby and accessible by taking the Stowe trolley. If you want to try other winter sports, check the snowshoeing, snowmobiling and ice skating areas, all of which are accessible by the trolley. The trolley, which is free, stops at our hotel front door, downtown Stowe and the ski areas.
We stay at the Commodores Inn, which is within walking distance of Stowe Village. Its amenities include Jacuzzis, saunas, an indoor swimming pool and exercise rooms. It has a great dining room and lounge area with a fireplace that makes a perfect setting for after ski get-togethers. Check their site at: www.commodoresinn.com
