THIS WEEK
The Mountain-Ready Workout (http://www.ubc-voc.com/tripagenda/details.php?tripid=1272)  (everyone friendly)
August 30 --- UBC campus
This is an interval training workout, so if you want to increase your hiking/skiing fitness so you can boost up those hills/do super long days, then this is the workout for you! Meant for all levels of fitness.

NEXT WEEK:
Harrison Hut (http://www.ubc-voc.com/tripagenda/details.php?tripid=1193)  (beginner friendly)
September 1 - 5 --- Harrison Hut
This trip will be relatively low output, carefully avoiding carrying too much or covering too much distance in any day. While up there we might do a bit of hut maintenance work and cut firewood.

Tricouni to Brandywine traverse (http://www.ubc-voc.com/tripagenda/details.php?tripid=1278)
September 3 - 5 --- Tricouni etc.
Spend the last weekend of the summer outside! We'll be going from Tricouni to Brandywine in the course of three days, so we'll have nearly the whole weekend in the alpine!
