Write Up:
Thanks to everyone who came and got in on the discount night!! Fifteen or so of us attended the "How to layer in the winter" sessions, much thanks to Ross of MEC for sharing his knowledge with us. The most interesting thing we learned is that hiking in neoprene socks will not give you blisters, and if your feet heat up, pour water inside the socks!! And, be aware, that over 17,000 feet, the nitrogen in the neoprene will expand, and you will need footwear that is a half size larger!!
