Interested in getting out in the Blue Hills for a good workout this winter? Want to add to your fitness with some local hiking in between jaunts to higher elevations? Consider joining this group for 'off week' hikes-fill in between official NH winter hikes, or just to enjoy winter in the Blue Hills! This is a posting for the first of five hikes. Participants can attend any one or all. Prior participants in the winter conditioning series are encouraged to sign up. New participants are welcome! Participants are expected to have prior winter hiking experience and be able to hike at a strong (enthusiastic) moderate pace carrying & using winter gear. Hikes will cover about 8 miles with 1000-1500 elevation in 3-4 hours. This is NOT an introduction to winter hiking. All participants must have winter clothing, winter boots, snowshoes, micro spikes, poles with baskets, etc. Participants will be screened and are expected to have good conditioning in addition to prior winter hiking experience. Participants will need to register for each session when it is posted. There will be ten openings for participants and a waiting list for five additional participants. Hikes will only be cancelled in the event of dire inclement weather (e.g., heavy rain) or weather that makes travel hazardous. Rendezvous location in the Blue Hills will be sent after your registration is confirmed for each hike, no later than Tuesday the week of the Thursday hike (some routes are weather dependent). Online registration is required. AMC membership is not required, but you will need to set up a free AMC online account if you do not already have one. Click "Register" button to accept the risks, provide contact info, and sign the AMC liability waiver. Each person must register individually; you cannot register for a friend or household member Planned dates: 1/16, 1/30, 2/13, 2/27, 3/13 AMC Trip Policy
