We'll be hiking through North and South Hancock (and maybe buttsledding on the way down!), following this trail: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-hampshire/hancock-trail

The trip will involve 9.3mi of distance and 2600ft of elevation gain.

We'll need microspikes and snow shoes.

Please note that there's a mandatory pre-trip meeting at 6-7pm on Thursday (1/8) in the MITOC office. You can also rent gear after the meeting.

Note! We'll be splitting this group into two separate trips, Derek and Julia will lead one group, Janey and Kelby will lead the other. We'll decide the split and who's in what cars at the pre trip meeting
