==Synopsis==
==Description==


Veenstra is organizing a beginner trip to the [[Brew Hut]].  People interested in participating should probably have some winter camping skills, have carried an over night pack and have been on backcountry skis before '''or be very keen/tough/willing to suffer a bit'''.  The last point is key - if you don't mind suffering and are in reasonable shape, I'll make sure you make it to the hut.
A hiking trip to the BREW HUT this weekend in the rain and the wind.  This hut has a wood stove so it will be warm and dry.


In fact, that's the whole point.  This should be a trip in the classic VOC skiing style - a bunch of keen VOCers, never having been on tele skis before, will tough their way up to the hut and discover that (despite the suffering) they really love the mountains in winter. Exchange students who've never seen snow before are ideal, and this is probably the best place to start if you want to be skiing across the Garibaldi Neve this spring (this, or one of Roland's Red Heather trips...).
The corresponding trips thread for this trip is: http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=3&i=6372&t=6372


Past trips of this style have taken anywhere from 4 to 17.5 hours to reach the hut (in the good old days before GPSs sometimes they didn't find the hut at all). Days are short and the snow is fluffy - so put your headlamp at the top of your pack.
Considering it's Halloween, let's plan to leave town at the reasonable hour of 8am Saturday morning.  That should allow us to be hiking by about 10:00. 
Sunday, we'll probably head down early afternoon, unless it's suprisingly nice weather.

Please consult the above links for all information regarding proper skiing clothing and gear. '''In winter especially, none of your clothing should be made out of cotton. Anything wool or synthetic is probably safe. Just remember, Cotton Kills.'''<br>
You can check out the skiing gear list as a reference, just don't bring skis... not enough snow for that yet.

Nominal capacity is '''12''', and the most I've ever seem the hut hold was '''16''' (it was crowded).  Let's try and keep enough hut space for the beginners, and those looking after them.

=== About tents... ===
If you would still like to come, you can bring a tent - but it '''must''' be a 4-season mountaineering tent.  The hut is on a very windy col, and a 3 season tent will likely not survive.  You are also '''not''' encouraged to plan on a snowcave without bringing a tent backup.  The snow close to the hut is usually poor for snowcaving (if there is enough - this is November) and we will likely arrive well after dark (at winter longhike the days are substantially longer, and most beginners take the better part of a day to build theirs).
Extra space on the trip for people with tents will depend on the number of experienced people who are coming with tents.

What to Bring

It's likely to be cold and wet, so bring what you need to stay warm and dry clothes to change into at the hut. Also make sure you have some sort of waterproofing for your sleeping bag and spare clothes. Wool and synthetic clothes are great. Don't bring cotton.

You can check out the skiing gear list as a reference, just don't bring skis... not enough snow for that yet.
