Hut Trip Food Tricks

Having made my share of messes, and after spending valuable hut time scrubbing clean pots and pans instead of hangin' with my friends, we at huttrip.com take hut food seriously. We have found a few recipes that are guaranteed to be eaten, and leave relatively no mess to deal with.

As pictured on the left, hut pizza is simple to make, easy to carry up (because you can split the load between the team) and makes no mess (except for the cheese that melts off). It's also a great way to add some extra food from previous meals (notice the chorizo sausage) so that you don't have to carry it down. The best thing about pizza is that it is appealing to everyone in the hut - what you don't finish, other's will!

If you are willing to carry the weight, bringing up a tri tip or Ribeye Roast makes for a great food after your hike up the mountain. Pictured on the right are the oven masters preparing the oven for the 2 inch rib eye roast. I know that Polar Star and Carl's Cabin both have outdoor grills. The others that I have been to in the tenth mountain hut system do not.
