  WOOF: Women Outdoors Online Funtimes

  Join us for 

  "Winter Road Tripping"

  with Lisa Vaas and Bonna Wieler

  
  

  COMING TO YOU ON ZOOM

  Join us for a conversation on winter driving. Spurred on by incidents as people traveled to Craftsbury, VT for our winter weekend during a blizzard in 2022, the following year, we presented a slideshow of winter driving tips and had a WOOF session of story- and advice-sharing about potential winter driving issues. We've updated the slideshow, which you can view here whether you attend our WOOF session or not. We won't be going through the slides during this session; rather, we'll just focus on story- and advice-sharing. 

  Note: Zoom Meeting Details will be sent with your confirmation email
  

  Presenters Bios:

  Lisa Vaas, Regional Contact, E. MA, Former President of Women Outdoors

  Bonna Wieler, Regional Contact, NH/VT, Secretary, Women Outdoors Board of Directors

  Do you have a WOOF session you'd like to lead, with our support and Zoom account? Say...

  • A virtual yoga session
  • A cooking segment
  • A slideshow on your fabulous vacation
  • A session on winter hiking or other outdoor skills
  • A session with the author of a great outdoors book

  Alternatively, do you have a presenter you'd like to suggest?

  Please don't hesitate to contact the WOOF organizers at WOOF@womenoutdoors.org.

  And please make sure to attend our WOOF sessions. We look forward to Zooming with you!

  2025 National Cross-Country Ski Weekend in Craftsbury, Vermont

  New this year! Registration by lottery. 

  Due to unprecedented demand for this event for the past 3 years, we have decided to do registration via lottery to increase access to the sign-up process. Here's how it will work:

  Anytime between Dec 1 and Dec 15, you can sign up for the event by adding your name to the event "waitlist." It doesn't matter when you sign up as long as it's before the deadline on Dec 15th.

  Shortly after December 15th, we will pull names via lottery. If your name is selected you will be notified, and payment will secure your spot. All others will be placed on the waitlist as per the lottery outcome. As spaces open up, you will be notified.

  FAQs:

  Q: I am entering the lottery with my partner/spouse/etc. How does

  this work?

  A: We will put your names (together) into the lottery ,TWICE, to

  provide you with equal probability. 

  Please note for those attending with a partner: We can count both of

  your names as one, and put you into the lottery twice.

  Q: I only want to come if I can have a single room. What if the only

  opening is a double?

  A: We will fiil the single versus double rooms as they are selected

  by the lottery process. If there are no single rooms available when

  you are picked then you will be placed on the waiting list for a

  single.

  Q: I am fine with being in a double. Do I have to pre-select a

  roommate?

  A: No, we will assign you a roommate.

  Q: How quickly does the waitlist open up?

  A: It depends on when people cancel. Sometimes it is right before a

  refund deadline. Often there are cancellations at the last minute due

  to illness or life circumstances, so being flexible can work out in the

  end.

  South America Adventure 2025!

  Machu Picchu, Galapagos Islands, Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle
  

  Bucket list trip alert! Have you ever wanted to go on the trip of a lifetime? Well, Women Outdoors is planning an breathtaking adventure for June-July 2025 to Macchu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands and the Ecuadorian Amazon.
  

  You can choose to go on one, two or all three adventures. The exact dates have not yet been set, but we'll travel between late June and mid July 2025.

  Here's the trip in a nutshell:

  Machu Picchu - Late June 2025. Walking tour of Cusco. Sacred Valley tour by van to Ollantaytambo. Tour Ollantaytambo ruins. Guided tour of Machu Picchu. Pachamanca feast in home of Qechua farmer.
  

  Galapagos Islands - Immediately after Machu Picchu. Optional tours to chocolate farm and coffee plantation. Van tour of Highland Tortoise Reserve and lunch on a farm on the way to the village of Puerta Ayora. Speed boat to Isabela Island/Puerto Villamil and then boat to Tintoreras Islet for snorkeling. "Tunnels" day boat trip and snorkeling in underwater lava formations. Service project on a coffee farm. Speed boat transfer to Santa Cruz Island for dinner hosted by fisherman and family.
  

  Ecuador Amazon Cruise - After the Galapagos Islands, probably early July 2025. This adventure begins in Quito and after a short flight to Coca, we'll board a motorized canoe for a short journey down the river before reaching the Manatee Amazon Explorer for our welcome aboard. A local naturalist guide will give an introduction to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Some of our activities will be a nighttime forest walk, canoe trip on the Panayacu River delta, nature walks with local naturalist guides, kayaking and swimming in Piranha Lake (not as dangerous as it sounds!).
  

  We're working with Adios Adventure Travel to plan this awe-inspiring adventure. Adios Adventure Travel helped facilitate the Women Outdoors trip to Machu Picchu in 2022 and we loved it so much we asked them to help us out again.
  

  Right now, we're just looking to see how many Women Outdoors members would be interested in joining us on this incredible adventure.

  There is no commitment to attend at this point; we just want to see how much interest is out there. You do not need to be a member of Women Outdoors to let us know of your interest in this trip at this time. Just click on the REGISTER button and let us know you're interested.
