If you are an experienced winter hiker who wants to sign up, please email us directly since not much time remains; you must have attended the two mandatory winter safety lectures either in January 2024 or November 2024, or have been a MITOC winter leader. Also, you would have to have all the required gear (including microspikes and snowshoes) since the MITOC office is closed.
