Hut Provisions:

Six gallon jugs of water are provided with the snow cat service. Snow cat use is mandatory for first time users. Snow cat/personnel accompaniment is our agreement with US Forest Service to enable our permit for winter sanctuary. Be sure to list your name on the reservation so we have a record of you for future hut reservations. Future users will then have the opportunity to waive the snow cat service.
