*Greetings from Vermont!*

My name is Kevin Argentieri and on behalf of the *University of
Vermont Outing Club* my comrade Susan Prescott and I would like to
extend a formal invitation to IOCA and all its members to the *2010
UVM Outing Club Winter Classic*. In just a few weeks our club will be
conducting this 3 stage winter adventure relay race for the second
year. Our first year was a great success but we need you to make our
second year since we will now be opening up the competition to members
of other college and university outdoor organizations. To top off the
competition, the UVM Outing Club would like to host as many
participants as possible at our cabin located just a few minutes away
from the location of this year's Winter Classic! Most of the outing
clubs from New England and northern New York have already been
contacted but we are hoping that IOCA will be able to further help our
efforts at advertising this year's event. Here are a few quick
details...


Date: Saturday February 27th

Location: Bolton Valley Resort (approx ½ hour outside Burlington, VT)

Format: 3 stage winter sport relay race...

1st leg - downhill ski (giant slalom style on alpine, tele, or snowboard gear)
2nd leg - snowshoe (through some of Bolton Valley's best trails)
3rd leg - cross country ski (freestyle on groomed trails)

The race is designed for teams of 3, though those especially tough and up
for the challenge are welcome to run solo!

Cost:
Event registration only: $30 per team

OR

Event registration AND accommodations at the UVMOC cabin: $45 per team
(includes roof over head Friday and Saturday night, breakfast Saturday and
Sunday mornings, and dinner Saturday night)


This will be a great inter-club networking event! We do not currently
have a cap on the number of entries for the event but space at the
cabin is limited so individual outing clubs should let us know their
interest as soon as possible! We have invited schools and
organizations from all over New England and northern New York and the
2010 UVM Outing Club Winter Classic will NOT be complete without
representation from the Connecticut College Outing Club... All are
welcome so please spread the word widely!

Please feel free to email or call me with any questions. My email is
Kevin.Argentieri at uvm.edu and I can also be reached at (215) 582-8911.

Head counts should be good for now and more details to follow... More snow is
in the forecast so we hope to hear from you soon!

Think snow...

- Kevin and Susan
