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

Date

January 24^th, 2009

Location

Mt. Seymour

Meet at 8:45am in the Day Lodge

Be there by 9:00 at the latest or organizing groups and tickets will be unnecessarily unpleasant.

If you can't catch a ride, you can get there by talking the Shuttle for 5 $ each way.

Dry School

There will be a dry school on TBD in the Clubroom to coordinate rides and gear. There will be a gear master and instructors to help you select gear if needed.
