HARVARD MT. SUNAPEE TRIP - SPOTS AVAILABLE!

by Blodget, Casey

Harvard Community Members: Good News! We have recently had some openings for the Harvard Wintersession Mt. Sunapee Ski & Snowboard trip on Saturday, January 25th. Interested in joining? First come first serve, space is limited, so reach out today! THIS TRIP IS FREE OF CHARGE! Please email the attached waiver (filled out and signed) to Casey Blodget (caseyblodget(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:caseyblodget@fas.harvard.edu>) by Thursday at 7am if you want a spot on this trip. Please also answer the following: Do you want rental equipment? If so, please let me know the following: o Date of Birth o Sex o Height o Weight o Shoe size o Do you want a helmet? o Are you skiing or snowboarding? o What type of skier/boarder are you? § Cautious § Moderate § Aggressive · Do you want a free lesson? If so, what level are you? o Beginner (never skied before/not comfortable with green circles) o Intermediate or Advanced Event Details Cruise the slopes of Mt. Sunapee! Never skied or snowboarded? Transportation, tickets, rental equipment, and lessons are available at no cost to you! · Location: Mt. Sunapee, Newbury NH · Date: Saturday, January 25, 2014 · Depart Campus: Corner of Mt. Auburn St and Holyoke St<https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&q=corner+of+mt.+aubu…> at 6:30AM. Please be at the bus no later than 6:15AM. Sorry, we cannot wait for latecomers. · We will arrive at the mountain by 8:30AM. · You will be given a lift ticket and rental equipment upon arrival and if you are getting a lesson you will be directed to the ski school. · You are free to ski/snowboard all day until 4PM! · Return to Campus: The bus will depart Mt. Sunapee at 4:30PM. We should arrive back on campus by 6:30PM. What to Bring/Wear to the Mountain MONEY/LUNCH Plan on bringing about $15-$20 for snacks and lunch. Ski lodge food is a bit more expensive than a normal café. You may not spend that much, but it’s always good to have it on hand just in case. Ski lodge food is not known for being very healthy, so if you have dietary restrictions/needs, please bring your own lunch (many people do this). There will be granola bars for the trip up and goldfish/popcorn for the trip back. If you think you’ll need more food/drink on the way up/back, please feel free to bring some! WARM CLOTHING It can get VERY COLD on the mountain and you don’t want to be stuck with the wrong clothing. Cotton clothing is NOT recommended as it doesn’t dry quickly and will make you even colder when you sweat. If you’re unsure what kind of clothing to bring, please read the below list and ask a friend who has skied before. It was -25⁰F at the summit on the Wintersession trip last January. · Fleece, wool, or dry-fit long underwear shirt and pants. · Another couple layers of fleece, wool, or dry-fit shirts/pants in case it’s really cold out. Layers are key if it’s below freezing outside. · Warm socks made of fleece, wool, etc. – not the ones you wear to the mountain — bring an additional pair for skiing/riding. · Water proof/wind proof pants and jacket to go over all your base layers. · Warm hat, warm gloves, ski goggles, neck and face warmer or good scarf. Exposed skin will get frostbitten if it’s below freezing outside. · Hand and toe warmers (Harvard will provide everyone with 1 pair of hand warmers and toe warmers!). -- Casey Blodget Intramural and Club Sports Coordinator Murr Center Harvard University | Department of Athletics 65 North Harvard Street | Boston, MA 02163 P: (617) 495-5136 F: (617) 496-9950 caseyblodget(a)fas.harvard.edu<x-msg://412/caseyblodget@fas.harvard.edu> [image003] Harvard Recreation<http://recreation.gocrimson.com/landing/index>

ATHLETIC SHOES--We advise all guests to wear athletic shoes to the party, particularly if you are hosting a large party, because we may not have enough climbing shoes or the right sizes on hand to fit all of your guests. Wearing athletic shoes ensures all guests can have a wonderful climbing experience. 3. A FRIENDLY REMINDER Although it may look like a playground, Brooklyn Boulders Somerville is a state of the art training facility created for the advancement of climbing. Brooklyn Boulders is filled with climbers of all levels and (more importantly) of all ages. Parents, if you are new to BKBS or just need a refresher on our policies, here are some guidelines to ensure you get the most out of your visit: -Please keep an eye on your child at all times. -Please do not swing, pull, or hang on the ropes. -Please do not run, push, or wrestle in the facility. -When in all bouldering areas (walls without ropes): Please do not walk next to the climbing walls: climbers fall! -Training areas (rings, weights, etc) are off limits to children under 14. -Take turns! Reach out to Nicole Pizzi (npizzi(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:npizzi@fas.harvard.edu>) with any questions. Looking forward to climbing! See you all soon!
