Trophy Hut New Years

This New Years, we joined Phil, Christine, Kyle D, Sean, Joel, David and Tyler in Well's Gray Park for a week at the Trophy Hut where we were treated to endless epic terrain, fresh pow, gourmet meals and ceaseless rounds of Hero Realms between sauna sessions. Lets just say, it was a very successful trip despite some initial logistic and weather issues.

Roger's Pass Double Weekend Pow Fest

Sometimes you need to book an ACC hut a year in advance, and other times you luck out and are able to snag a weekend at the last moment after 90 cm of snow. We were recently fortunate enough to spend two weekends at the AO Wheeler Hut in Rogers Pass in the middle of a storm cycle. 

Emily and Trevor had organized a trip to the Wheeler Hut in Rogers Pass in mid-December with some of the usual suspects. Kyle and I rolled into the pass around 9 pm but made quick work of the 2km ski into the hut. We were greeted by our friends and said brief hellos before they went off to bed in anticipation of a big pow day to come. Phil and Paul were also staying at the hut with a big group for the annual "Rogers Pass for People Scared of Rogers Pass Trip," so between our two groups we knew quite a few people in the fully booked hut.
