FALL 2024 NEWSLETTER 
Welcome Winter 2024-2025! 

Off Season Events Recap
We had some wonderful events this summer! 
A group of faculty from a local school had an evening campout with food and a bonfire. The Empire Orienteering Club of the Capital Region held a National Competition on September 29th. We enjoyed almost 200 participants!

Trail Cleanup
All trails have been covered at least twice this summer/fall. Summer brought major tree cutting – miscellaneous limbs still need to be removed. If you are interested in helping and/or getting out for a hike, reply to walterkersch@aol.com giving possible dates and times between October 26th and November 10th. Thank you in advance for your help!

Christmas Trees!

Christmas tree sales begin on Saturday November 23rd and Sunday November 24th from 10am-3pm. Additional dates are weekends from Nov 30th-Dec 15th from 9am-4pm.  For weekday appointments, please call 518.283.3652. Plan to cut before the snow! Check availability by calling the Lodge or check the Pineridge conditions website.
 
Trail Changes
We are decreasing the volume of available ski trails due to climate and cost of maintenance. Our total distance of groomed trails, weather permitting, will be 23 – 25 km. Trails available for skating, weather permitting, will be 4 km. You will find we have rebuilt the East Flat bridge with a new plank topping!  

Junior Season Rentals
Cross country ski season rentals for children for the 2024 – 2025 season will be available for pickup starting November 15th. Please call the ski lodge 518.283.3652 to schedule an appointment for fitting and pickup. These season rentals allow you to take equipment home, use anywhere and return at the end of the season. A great deal for growing children! 
 
In Search of Ski Instructors
Pineridge is looking to hire 1-2 cross country ski instructors who will offer lessons to customers. Instructor training will be provided. Interested parties should be competent cross-country skiers, love skiing and working with people! Send resumes to walterkersch@aol.com.
