Omer and Bob’s sent us this announcement about their upcoming consignment sale:

This is a great place to get rid of your old ski/board gear and a great place to pick up some gear at a great price that still has some good life left in it.

For sellers: bring your ski or board gear to the shop 10/29-10/31 and tell us what you would like to get for it. We won’t be able to take straight skis, skis with old bindings, helmets or softgoods. If it sells we can either write you a check for the sale amount minus 25% commission or you can get the whole sale amount as store credit. If it does not sell we need you to pick it up next week (11/3-11/6).

For buyers: come on by 11/1 (9-5) -11/2 (11-4) and see what’s around that might be a match for you. We will be there to give advice for fit and condition. Historically there has been alpine, XC, and snowboard gear there so there will be something for everyone at least if you like snowsports.

The Stratton Mountain School’s T2 team produced a video of their recent clinic with Ford Sayre skiers.  Check out the video at the T2 Athlete blog.

The Dartmouth Ski Team is holding a ski sale and swap this Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.

This is a good venue for equipment for older kids or adults.

Online registration for the 2014-2015 ski season is now open.  Please go to registration.FordSayre.org, select the category (Alpine, Nordic, or Volunteer), and then scroll down to select your specific program.

If you registered last year, you should use the same login and password, and the registration form will use much of last year’s information.

New this year is the use of online waivers.

If you have any questions about registration, please contact the Program Head of the specific program (the list of email addresses is on the Contact Us page), or send an email to info@FordSayre.org.

Good luck with registration!

A community event for all ages and abilities! Come for the challenge of 5K trail/road run or a 4-mile round-trip morning hike to Mount Cube. The hike leads to the south summit of Mount Cube where the CRT meets the Appalachian Trail. Join us for this guided hike and to celebrate ‘Family Hiking Day on the Appalachian Trail’ on the summit with families all along the 2,200 mile AT from Georgia to Maine! Hike leaders include members of the RTA and Sara Cavin from the Upper Valley Land Trust (UVLT) who will talk about conserved farm and forestland along the trail.

Registration forms are available online and same day registration begins at 7:30am for the hike to make the shuttle to Mount Cube leaving at 8:00am.

See the RAMBLE schedule, as well as all event information including registration details and times, online at www.crossrivendelltrail.org.

PLEASE NOTE: The planned 10K trail run has been canceled and there is a new 5K route due to the Creamery Road bridge closure in Orford. The 5K trail run takes place on the CRT, as well as short sections of Town Shed Rd and Creamery Rd, and starts / finishes at Rivendell Academy.
