Synopsis
The Brew Hut is a sort of strange duck. In many respects, it's the easiest to get to of all of the VOC's huts; yet, at the same time, it probably has the highest failure rate and has seen some hilarious epics and debacles. My history with the hut isn't pretty. On one mission, I arrived at the trail head only to realize that I had forgotten my skins at home. On another attempt, I immediately took Vicky and I down the wrong branch of the logging road, thus making the car the closest we got to the hut that weekend. I haven't even been to the hut since we renovated it last summer. So, I think it's about time for me to try and lead some sort of beginner friendly debacle up to Brew and see if I can't push the success ratio a little closer to the 'win' side.
Date
The pretrip meeting is Wednesday March 2nd, 6:15pm, in the clubroom. It will start promptly, so don't be late!
The trip is March 5th - 6th, 2011
Equipment List
The hut is warm, so you don't need to bring a whole lot on this trip.
This page has a good list of what people bring on a standard ski hut trip: Gear_lists#ski_hut_trip.
A basic list to start with is:
- A set of non-cotton clothes
- A wool sweater or fleece
- Some sort of waterproof(ish) layer
- Gloves or mitts
- Toque
- Headlamp - ESSENTIAL
- Sunglasses and sunscreen. (We're hoping for good weather)
- Shovel, Beacon, Probe
- Food (Dinner, two lunches, and a breakfast.)
- Snowshoes/Skis and Poles
- Sleeping bag + mat
Sign Up
Current limit for trip participants is 16. That's how many people comfortably fit in the hut, though I've heard of as many as 19 squeezing in.
