FOLA and CTA Offer Adventurous Ski
  
Films Feb. 20 at Ludlow Town Hall
  
FOLA will join forces with the Catamount Trail Association (CTA) on Thursday, Feb. 20 to present and evening of skiing films in the Heald Auditorium of the Ludlow Town Hall at 6:30 PM.
  
The evening will feature a short CTA film "40 Years on the Trail" produced by Climb High Productions, followed by the feature film, "Variable" by filmmaker Jamie Kennard. There will be a question-and-answer session with Jamie Kennard after the screenings.
  
"Variable" chronicles the 10-year journey of two brothers as they attempt to backcountry ski the Adirondack 46ers – a rugged collection of 46 mountains rising to 4,000ft and higher – in a quest to become the first to ski all 81 of the classic high peaks of the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains. The duo face an uphill battle skiing to the summits, navigating through complex terrain of ice, rock, thick trees, and a seesaw of harsh and unpredictable winter conditions.
  
Physical injury in the mountains, a midnight rescue across thin lake ice, and the tragic loss of a spouse, all test the brothers' commitment. In an evolving landscape where climate change has the final say on what form winter takes, the two find themselves racing against the clock, and a disappearing snowpack, to finish skiing the last peaks before the decade-long goal melts beneath their skis.  A preview of the film may be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koyJYDwGMJE.
  
A raffle will also be held before the screening for chances to win prizes from Julbo, Jura Alpine Gear, the CTA, the Boot Pro, The Book Nook, and more.  Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event.
  
Admission to this event is free but donations will be greatly appreciated to underwrite the costs of this event's presentation.  Proceeds go to benefit both FOLA and the CTA. Doors open at 5:30 PM.  Call 802-228-3238 for information or go to the CTA events page for more information: www.catamounttrail.org/fola-cta-ski-film-night.

Green Mountain Neighbors put most of its energy during 2024 into getting members and volunteers, and promoting services such as providing transportation, and assisting in some light household chores. 
  
In 2025, we are going to be hosting various types of events. For its first event this year, Green Mountain Neighbors is pleased to sponsor "Antarctica comes to Vermont" presented by Sally Deinzer, daughter of John Dyer, the chief radio engineer on Admiral Richard Byrd's Second Expedition (1934-1935) to Antarctica. 
  
This event will be held on Saturday, February 8th from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. (inclement weather date Sunday February 9th) in the meeting room on the upper level of the Wallingford Town Hall. Parking is available along the street and at the school across the street. The meeting room is handicapped accessible. 
  
During this expedition, Admiral Byrd stayed by himself for an extended period "Alone" which happens to be the title of the book by Admiral Byrd about his adventure. 
  
There will be video from clips (transferred from 8 mm film) made by John Dyer during the expedition, and time for questions. Admission is free for members and volunteers with GMN while others will be charged $5.00. 
  
Light refreshments will be available. 
  
If you have ideas for events that you would enjoy, please send an email to info@greenmountainneighbors.org or leave a phone message at 802-417-2292. And if you are interested in joining as either a member or volunteer, please use the same email and phone number.
