For his first tour (on March 13), new leader Steve Sangster chose a loop in the tracks at Meissner.  He guided us around Tangent and up to the Meissner Shelter for a brief stop, then down to the lodge for lunch and a return to our cars.  It was a very well organized tour!

The tour started with a cap at 8 people, but was soon increased to 10.  The pace was casual, with plenty of opportunity to socialize and get to know each other.  Conditions were excellent, with a couple of inches of fresh snow covering the old hard pack, which was noticeable in the tracks even though it had been groomed.  Ending the tour with lunch at the lodge was nice, giving us all more opportunity to socialize.  Thanks to Steve; and Welcome to the Leaders group!
