Synopsis

I want to escape the city and go skiing. I have never been to the Burton Hut, so I thought of giving it a try. This is a tentative location though because the lake may not be frozen yet. If it is not frozen, there is a huge detour that needs to be done. Apparently a group travelled on the lake January 16-17th so we could possibly be able to get to Burton hut. I have also placed a reservation in for the Wendy Thompson hut as a back up. Also I was inspired recently to have fondue. So there will be a cheese and chocolate fondue! This is an informal trip and no instruction will be offered. You need to have avalanche awarness and it know how to ski/snowboard or maybe snowshoe (if you are fast).

Date

January 24-25 2009

Where

A hut, yet to be decided.

Equipment List

Also: To participate in the fondue either bring cheese, bread, chocolate or fruit. You might also choose to bring mulled wine and/or hard alcohol of your choosing and instruments of music and merriment.

Soft limit of 15, the hut fits 10 but 15 with a squeeze. Anyone beyond that is welcome, but should be willing to camp. (Of course there is "always room for one more", and there is space to sleep on the floor downstairs, but if the hut will be full, bringing tents is encouraged.)
