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

Synopsis

Veenstra is organizing a beginner trip to Brew Hut. People interested in participating should 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). Hopefully it won't take us 17.5 hours like last year... but you should come prepared to drink your own pee if necessary.

Veenstra would like to point out that his beginner epic to the Brew hut last season only took 9 hours, and found the hut no problem... not that another 17.5 hour trip is impossible. Last year 3 people's skis exploded and there was a fair amount of general suffering, with the back end of the party arriving well after dark. Days are short and the snow is fluffy - put your headlamp at the top of your pack.

Date

November 24^th - 25^th, 2007
