Groups join to offer ski outing

ANDOVER — The Pineland Ski and Outing Club Inc. and Mahoosuc Pathways Inc., have planned an outing during the Great Maine Outdoors Weekend in mid-February.

A half-mile trip via cross country skis or snowshoes to the lean-to on the Akers ski trails is scheduled for after lunch on Sunday, Feb. 14. Snacks and a small bonfire for cooking marshmallows and hot dogs will be provided by the Pineland Ski Club. All ages and abilities are welcome.

Those not familiar with the trails will be given a guided tour at 1:30 p.m. from the Akers ski parking lot in Andover Village. The bonfire will be at the lean-to between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.
