Looking for some thrills this IAP?
Look no further. Weather permitting, Professor John Brisson will be leading several iceboating trips during the first week of IAP.
Ice boats use sails and sharp runners to glide across the ice at up to 60 miles an hour (we probably won't go quite that fast). The lakes are generally remote and serenely quiet.

We are gathering names of students interested in going on one or more of the outings. You will be contacted one or two days before an outing if the ice is good and there is available space in the group that's going.
The dates will be January 8, 10 and 12. (January 8th is not officially during IAP, so it won't show up in this listing, but you can indicate it as a date you are available on the survey below)
Prior sailing experience is helpful although not required.
