	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.

1. Kaan E.(never skied, but did snowblade several times)

3. Jasmine McEachern (I snowboard and have skied once in the last... 14 years?! Crap Im old...)
4. Maki Sumitani (have learned to ski downhill but haven't gone for a long time. I am terrible at moving on flat surfaces with skis.)

Level Two (has downhill skiing experience)

1. Merick Moritz (I used to down hill ski when I was a kid and I occasionally cross-country ski classic. However, I snowboard and can ride switch which apparently should help)
2. Joanna (started last year, haven't been out yet this year - horrible really)
3. Karolina Hanula (many years of downhill skiing and snowboarding experience)
4. Eric Deal (some downhill skiing experience.)

Intermediate

Level Three (has some, but limited, telemark experience)

2. Breanne Johnson - level 3 as per the skill listing on the discussion board
3. Kate Robinson - level 3 as per the skill listing on the discussion board
4. Agathe - Good alpine experience and learning tele since last year.

Advanced

Level Four / Five (I can tele somewhat reliably, but I want to do better)

1. Will Whitty (I can do crappy turns that resemble tele. Level 3-4 as per discussion board.)
2. Evan Morris (I can pretend to tele. About Level 4? Want to learn proper stance, bumps, quick turns. If really stuck for beginner teachers I could teach)
