**Who we are:** Burlington Ski and Outing Club (BSOC) was formed in 1991 and is a local group of outdoor enthusiasts. Adults of all ages are welcome to join. Our current membership includes many healthy, active, retired and semi-retired people. Our outings are supportive and non-competitive in nature. If you like to get outdoors and be active, this is a great group. **What we do:** •  **Outdoor Sports—**BSOC plans and leads a full schedule of X-country outings and posts downhill Meetups throughout the winter season. We meet up for hiking, bicycling, and paddling activities in the off season. We are all volunteers, so any club member can organize an outing; you don't need to be an expert! •  **Social activities—** Our ski season starts with a Kickoff Party in early December. You can meet us and join the club at this event. We also have a holiday party and a Spring party. **Club membership:** Meetup group members who have paid annual club dues can participate in all of our sport activities and our social activities. You are welcome to attend sport activities during your Meetup trial period but will be charged a fee to attend social activities. When your trial period expires you will be expected to either pay dues or leave the group.

The Von Tramp Hash House Harriers (VTH3) is a social running/walking/social club open to anyone and everyone. We are a kennel of the global Hash House Harriers and we run around northwestern Vermont the first Saturday of each month as well as every other week during the colder months, November to March. Runs can range from snowy trails to city roads and often involve singing, drinking and general merriment. So if you enjoy running and drinking beer, give it a try and join us for a trail! The general idea of hashing is thus: A trail is set by another Hasher called the Hare. The Hare marks the trail in flour or chalk, most likely colored flour in the winter months. The Hashers – called a Pack – try to find the continuation of the trail. There is an explanation of the marks used at the start of each run conducted at the beginning of the trail. The length of runs varies from too short to too long and the locations will change with each trail. A collection of hash cash, typically $6.90, will be collected before or after trail to go towards drinks and snacks. You can learn more about hashing on our site: [vontramph3.com](https://www.vontramph3.com/) And yup, we're that weird group recently featured on [WCAX](https://www.wcax.com/video/2023/03/19/vt-non-profit-hosts-st-patricks-day-green-dress-run/) and previously in the [Burlington Free Press](https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/2022/02/03/vermont-sports-burlington-hashers-group-vth-3/9202092002/)!

Hello and welcome! This group started as a small group of friends who liked to wall climb at Petra Cliffs in Burlington, except their schedules didn't always line up, and the Meetup group was born so that there was always someone to climb with. One of the many cool things about this sport is that all levels can climb together, because it is only one person on the wall at a time, with the other person either spotting or belaying.  If you have never gone before, you can rent equipment, be taught how to belay, and see how you like it for a day fee.  If you get hooked, you can check out the different membership options at Petra Cliffs. Climbing is a full-body workout, and it also requires you to engage your mind, emotions, problem-solving skills, and to practice staying calm in the face of challenges and sometimes fear. And... it's just the best kind of fun you can have with family, friends, and new friends, so come on over and give it a try!
