Greetings to nordic skiers of the Upper Valley in the spring. Now that ski

think other area skiers might like to hear about. Try to get items for the
bulletin to me by the end of Tuesdays. Also, those of you who have Lost&Found
messages or For Sale messages here that would like me to delete or update,
please let me know. thanks and Happy trails!
