Cool place. Went there last year in January. Hope you get better weather. Had to stay on some more sheltered slopes. We were fogged out for two day trying to fly in. The sauna is a sweet set up out there!

Dang... Already committed for that time. I've always wanted to do that hut.

I'll let you know how it is. Pray (or dance or whatever) for snow!

Also, make sure you confirm with Trevor (Hut Manager) whatever arrangements you make, especially if you plan on having a guide or pay for the catering option. Its a great hut and great location, it is just a small, still building style business and sometimes that shows through in organization. My buddy and I arrived and the hut custodian that was there (not Trevor) was very surprised to hear that we had paid for the catered meals, he had no idea. Luckily there was enough food left from previous groups to make it work out!

That's good info to have! Thanks Brett!
