Winter Weekend, Annual Dinner and Wilderness First Aid

Winter Weekend

The Catskill 3500 Club hosts an annual Winter Weekend every January to bring together all levels of hikers – those new to winter hiking to very experienced outdoors people – to enjoy, learn and appreciate the Catskill Mountains. Hikes and bushwhacks are offered to a variety of peaks, including the four required winter ones. Information on next year’s weekend will be posted in the fall.

The Catskill Seasons Inn will be offering rooms for the weekend (Friday/Saturday January 20-21) and space for an evening gathering on Saturday. Room rates are being discounted 20% for 3500 Club attendees.Each day rate includes an Enhanced Continental breakfast (not hot). Saturday night’s get together will begin with a cash bar at 4:30pm. An ala carte menu will be available from 6:30-8:00. Both can be viewed on their website.
