Additionally, the Select board is being asked to waive a 120 day notice period for the DCR land purchase. This waiver is allowed under the Code of Massachusetts Regulations 301 CMR 51.00.

Hi All -

Just to expand slightly. It does seem there's momentum around backcountry skiing in the area with the work going on at Dutch Hill in S. Vermont, plus increased interest in the Thunderbolt and the old Williams Race Trail on Berlin Mt. It would be great to see DCR maintain the club as a resource for this type of activity, even if that means just keeping it mowed.

We can advise of this interest to DCR. Note, too, that BRPC and Sen. Hinds office have been asked and they defer to determination from the Town before agreeing as well.
