Hidden huts within ski resorts

I have always heard the stories of there being hidden "huts" within the boundaries of ski areas within Colorado, but I have not actually ever stumbled across one, until this year. While there is plenty of chatter about them on the internet, no one actually tells you specifically where they are, and I am not going to either. When you do the research on the internet, you'll find plenty of videos and discussions on boards asking about the "smoke shacks", "hidden huts", etc, and you'll see that some of them are quite fancy. For me, I like skiing in the trees, coming up on one of these is a great find, and in a way, binds you to the resort and your fellow skiers and boarders. That's part of the fun of them, you really have to earn them, and once you do, you understand why you either find them on your own, or get shown them by someone. But, there is another reason for keeping their exact location private and that is because the U.S. Forest Servic...

hut trip food ideas

There is nothing like good food on a hut trip. The good news is that it does not take much to have everyone on your trip will remember fondly the great "gourmet" hut meals. Plus, a good meal will help settle peoples nerves and remove some of the anxiety from the hike up.

Anyone who has been doing hut trips long enough certainly has developed a set of hut trip recipes that they take with them each time. Also, as is the case with food, people are very particular about what constitutes a gourmet meal, especially at the huts. I have run into just about every type of Chef while visiting the huts, ranging from the freeze dried food chefs (just add water!) to the people who seem to bring up an entire fridge worth of food to the hu...

new map for huttrip.com

I've created a new map for the huts I have visited. you can scroll through each of the huts, and I show you an updated elevation profile that is interactive - as you hover over the elevation profile, you will see where it is located on the map! I also calculate the Distance, Elevation Gain and Loss for each trip. To top things off, I built a custom winter topographic map layer with Mapbox, to give it a nice winter feel. It also has links to huts.org and this site. I hope you enjoy it: https://map.huttrip.com/
