	Old Trip
	This is the sign up and organization page for an old trip. It already happened. Please do not sign up for it.

Introduction

This trip is, perhaps obviously, an introduction to skiing in the backcountry. Skiing in the backcountry is a lot different than skiing in a resort for a bunch of reasons, including snow conditions, routefinding, avalanche danger etc. This trip is geared to introduce people to these differences so they can learn to be more confident heading into the wilderness in winter (on skis).

Date

February 2^nd - 3^rd, 2008

Note that this trip may be cancelled or postponed based on weather and avalanche conditions.

Location

TBD

Who?

Anyone who wants to learn how to ski in the backcountry. Basic camping and skiing skills required. Winter Longhike and Tele School are good preparation.

There will be a limit based on number of "instructors," location etc. Feel free to sign up, but if the list starts to get huge, realize that it is possible not everyone will be able to go.
