Meeting tonight!

Heeh guys,
We have a meeting this week at 7:00 in 300 Richards hall. It’s going to be great time as we share all the great things we have done over the last two weeks in the snow, so you guys should all come!

Fact: It is possible to ski the east from later October/early November till early July(weather depending). How many days are you guys at?
See you guys there!

No meeting tomorrow.

Unfortunately our meeting for tomorrow has been cancelled due to school cancellation. Not so unfortunate has been the snow these last 48 hours! Hope you guys all got out and where able to enjoy the snow. Let us know what you have been doing by tagging Nuhoc Loj on facebook or @wegoontrips on instagram and twitter.

For the fact of week I decided to educate ourselves about snow:
The most snow to fall in any 24 hour period(Continental US) is 75.8 inches , well over six feet, at Silver Lake, Colorado. The most we have ever gotten on the east coast is 49 inches on Mount Washington, New Hampshire during a Feb 25, 1969 blizzard. So I guess we could always hope for more!

Enjoy!

First Meeting of 2015!

Happy new year and welcome back from winter break! I hope you were able to so some pretty awesomely epic stuff in the outdoors the last few weeks!

If you have been to the loj 3 times and would like to become an LCT in order to go to the loj this weekend give Tim Dyson an email at dyson.ti@gmail.com. In order to become an LCT you have to have gone to the loj 3 times, say a speech at a meeting and present a gift (anything that reminds you of the loj or what you think the loj needs will do)! You still have time to become a LCT at tomorrow’s meeting so just give Tim an email ASAP.
