What an awesome hut trip...only pictures can explain.
The mix of diverse cool people, a hut at 11,500ft between Camp Hale and Vail on a gladed ridge with and more terrain right around the hut than we could ever hope to ski in 2 and 1/2 days, and the addition of 15+ inches of new snow...well, priceless.

Quote of the trip: "After we left the hut and skied down to Resolution Road, we ran into the Vail Powercats guys at the road while we were waiting on some people to descend the west side of the gully. The guide was also working on Monday and saw us over on Ptarmigan. He said in the 14 years he has been guiding the cat, he had never seen a group from the hut cover so much terrain. On Tuesday, they were skiing those west facing glades again. He called them the Buzzards. They took their guests in a little north of their Monday tracks only to find we had hit it already. We poached them!!"
