"Trip" Report
This year sucked for January snow in the mountains, but we got record snow in Boston. Frustrated that we couldn't build snow shelters in NH, we decided to build them at MIT!

After lecture, we grabbed shovels and headed to the football field. We piled up enough snow for two Quincies and went to pack them down. Unfortunately, people from the Athletic Center soon decended on us to yell at the "kids playing in the snow." They refused to beleive that this was part of an IAP class, and told us we were trespassing. So...that's the end of that.

Next day, the shelters were mysteriously finished and had been used.

Next year....less visible location :)
