Hi everybody, it’s been some time when I was hiking with you and missed it! I was off in the spring for four months due to my plantar fasciiitis and after not doing my walks for that time I gained 10 pounds and got totally out of shape I worked on before. After that, I would not come to hike with you being huffing & puffing slow poke. Anyway, I am getting much better now. Today, I would like to ask if anybody would be interested doing downhill a.m. skiing with me either on January 6th, or any later date when you plan Mt. Washington. I believe it is for about 4 hours, starts at 9 a.m. and for retirees the price is little below 50.-$ (48?) If somebody would be interested I could meet you at the ferry terminal at CR and give you ride. I have spot for one person, but if needed I could put the back seats up and have spot for 2 more (dog is staying home as she is not allowed to ski downhill). All this planing is only in case that there are no” dogs & cat”s falling down from the sky on the hill. Hate to pay so much money and ski in miserable conditions. Let me know if anybody interested . All the best in New Year 2016 to all of you… Emily Toman
