Getting an early morning sweat on, and sitting in your long johns at your desk all day is a great way to keep unwanted coworkers from bothering you at work. The purpose of this trip is to get some exercise midweek before work.

The road up Seymour seems to open well before 7:00 am (which is the posted opening time). We'll meet at Bean Around the World at the base of the mountain at 6:00 a.m. and aim to be skinning up the snowshoe trail, to Brockton Point no later than 6:30 a.m. for a single lap, back downtown for about 8:30 a.m. If the party is fast enough, we make try to get to first pump, but getting back downtown in time for work is the priority.

I'll be leaving from Kits, and going straight to work downtown after, and can pick people up and drop them off along the way, if getting to the meeting point is a problem.

Splitboarders and reasonably fit beginners are welcome. Beacon, shovel, probe and AST-1 or equivalent are required. If the gate doesnt open until 7, then expect to be downtown no earlier that 9:15,
