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.

Sign-up

• Note: Hut holds 24 so hut size is not a limitation. Sounds like we might have transportation for ten or so. But if the trip gets too big, somebody is guaranteed to have an epic, which makes it tough for the leader, who has to be at the front causing progress to happen, and at the back tending the wounded. So ten people would be a good size.

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 two 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.
