Must love snow! Some hiking experience helpful.

Join us on a hike up to Lonesome Lake to cook a super fancy lunch on our winter stoves.

Learn how to use the MITOC stoves, practice layering and delayering, practice walking in microspikes (or possibly snowshoes depending on the weather). We could also attempt to build a quinzee! We will be bringing sleds to try using on the way down.
