WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY
Dinertopical! 6:40 AM, Chelsea Station, South Royalton Vermont
Rsvp to [log in to unmask]

Forgive me Dartmouth for I have sinned. I have failed to engage in 
"serious debate" about the "issues" "afflicting" our "college" (including 
excessive quotation marks). I have deleted D-article re-posters from my 
newsfeed, and I have failed to understand why the administration discusses 
things besides providing the best possible undergraduate education and 
career options upon graduating. I can redeem myself, though! I shall take 
thy students to Chelsea Station in South Royalton, Vermont (weather 
permitting). We shall turn greek systems into greek salads, scrambled 
dreams into scrambled eggs, and bodily fluid omelettes into regular edible 
omelettes. We shall sit at a table and know in our hearts that one day we 
will not have to travel far for that utopian social space. One day 
Dartmouth itself will be a diner.  

The ride is free, bring small bills.

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY

---WINTER SKILLS WORKSHOP---

This workshop will include sections on steep snow travel (ice ax and 
crampon use), snow shelter building, winter route-finding, winter trip 
organization (gear and food), and other related topics. 

We are leaving on Friday after 2?s and hiking up to Hermit Lake shelters, 
at the bottom of Tuckerman Ravine on Mt. Washington. We will spend 
Saturday practicing skills, either in the ravine or while hiking up to 
Lion?s Head, depending on conditions. We?ll hike down in the late 
afternoon, and aim to be back to campus on early evening Saturday.

**Important**: This workshop will also include a mandatory classroom 
session sometime on Wednesday, either 4-5:30 PM or 9:30-11 PM (when you 
sign up, blitz me your preference).

This workshop (besides being fun!) is a requirement for being a winter-
certified Cabin and Trail leader, and also one of requirements to become a 
basic Winter Sports Club leader. So we especially encourage aspiring or 
current leaders to sign up. 

TO SIGN UP: Blitz Matt Pickart ([log in to unmask]) your 
DASH number; the cost is $15, and includes food and lodging at Hermit 
Lake. Also include in your sign-up blitz your preference for the timing of 
the Wednesday classroom session. There will be a limited number of spots 
on this trip, so we will not be able to take everyone who signs up?so 
**sign up by Tuesday (today) night** if you want to go.

SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY 

Hike and Sled - Mt. Washington Edition! DESCRIPTION: Are you ready for the 
best winter trip of your life?? You had better be, because this Saturday 
we're going to go sledding on Mt. Washington! We'll hike 2.5 miles up the 
Tuckerman's Trail to the Hermit Lake Shelter, where we'll eat a hearty 
lunch before embarking on the greatest sledding experience New England has 
to offer! We'll be taking the Sherburne Ski Trail down, a 3 mile long, 25-
foot wide trail featuring a mix of curves, straight aways, and even a few 
jumps. 
If the sledding isn't enough to convince you to come, this trip will 
feature the legendary Matt Dahlhausen '11 (sledding expert), Eric Ross 
'11, Kevin Miller '10, and Jen McDonald '11, all of whom are totally 
awesome people! Basically this is the trip of a lifetime - don't miss out! 
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: The hike up is relatively strenuous, and the sled 
down is pretty extreme. Some experience in both winter hiking and sledding 
is recommended. 
COST: $8 DOC, $15 non-DOC 
TIME: Meet behind Robo at 7:15AM, get back to campus at around 6:00PM 
QUESTIONS: Blitz Max Deibel


PEMIGEWASSET SKI TRAVERSE 
Description/Difficulty: Come (cross-country) ski through 21 miles of 
gorgeous wilderness, from one side of the Pemi Wilderness to the other! 
The Pemi has it all -- brooks, rivers, evergreen and deciduous forests 
coated in snow, ups and downs ... (This traverse avoids major mountains -- 
i.e. is skiable.) Think soft snow through pine trees ... However, this 
trip is challenging and is *not* for first time skiers. 
When: Saturday, 6am - 6pm. Breakfast AND lunch will be provided! 
Cost: $10 for DOC members 
Blitz Annie Laurie Mauhs-Pugh with DA$H, shoe size, and dietary 
restrictions to sign up!

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

THE BEST SUNDAY MORNING: 

Feb 5th

Leaving at 6:30 from Robo, this will be a short hike up Gile to see the 
sunrise with breakfast (and hot chocolate!) once we reach the fire tower. 
If the snow stays we can cross country ski on the unmaintained road close 
to the trailhead. Return time depends on if we end up skiing, but it 
definitely won?t be later than 12. Yaaaaaaay winterfun!

$3 for DOC, $5 non-DOC
