We want to encourage leaders use the cabin during winter school, and to run official MITOC winter trips that start or end at the cabin. For this reason, there will be a special cabin training on the evening of Saturday Dec 6th (Or maybe Friday Dec 5th? TBD, its a bit far out....)

Only winter school leaders who led at minimum two winterschool trips in 2025 and have an active winterschool rating for 2026 may sign up for this training. If you've only recently joined/become a leader, this requirement is flexible, but you must have made similar time contributions to the club, please note in the sign up. Sign ups are currently fcfs but if we are oversubscribed priority will be given to folks who have led more trips.

Unlike typical cabin trainings, this one will take place in the evening and there will be no workday component. This training will run more like leader retreat, where everyone goes off to do their own thing during the day. We will meet at the cabin's parking lot around 6 or 7pm (time TBD) and spend 2-3 hours on the training depending on the group size. You are welcome and encouraged to spend the night at the cabin.
