The MIT Outing Club's Winter School is an introduction to self-propelled wilderness winter sports. Taught over IAP since 1971, Winter School covers topics applicable to daytrips, winter camping, and winter mountaineering, including food and clothing; snowshoes, crampons, cross country and backcountry skiing, ice climbing and more. All levels of experience are welcome! Many smaller (10 people max) trips are run to the White Mountains every weekend. Weekend trips are optional, but by far the best part of Winter School! Equipment is available for rent from MITOC; participants will need appropriate clothing (to be discussed in lectures). Those going on trips will need to share cost of gas & upkeep with drivers, as well as pay any trail fees in National Forests. Attendance at the first two lectures (Jan 10th and 12th) is required to participate in any of the weekend trips! The first two lectures will be in room 34-101. All subsequent lectures will be in room 35-225
