Ski Fair

November 1, 2025 @ PATC Headquarters


How about some outdoor winter adventures this year? Early winter 2025 was cold and snowy in the DC metro region and it made for some of the best local skiing in several years.


The Ski Touring Section will kick off the cross-country ski season with the annual Ski Fair on November 1.


Learn about all aspects of cross-country skiing from gliding through snow covered forests on groomed trails to deep back country treks. Hear about upcoming trips for 2025-26, see presentations on past trips and talk to experienced skiers and trip leaders. 

Close to the W&OD trail for easy bike access. Light refreshments will be served. Please join us!


Saturday November 1, 1-4 PM, PATC Headquarters.
