Archive:Janine's Trip to Phelix Hut

Synopsis

This Hut is far enough from Vancouver that it gets nice dry snow. We renovated the Hut last summer so it will be clean and white inside. We will bring naphtha for the catalytic heater so it will be at least a little bit warm. Normally the ski out is not described as "beginner-friendly", but if we take our time it won't be too bad, and we are planning to to take our time. If you can't ski and want to do this on snowshoes, that will work. This is a good opportunity to see our biggest and finest Hut, just in case you have never been to one of our Huts so far.

Rides

We can probably work this out at the pre-trip meeting along with food groups, etc. For ten people we need two or three cars, and we have one already. Driving up Friday night and tenting beside the cars is a possibility. This would give us an extra-long day Saturday just in case we want an extra-long day Saturday.
