Participants will clean the hut before departing around noon on Sunday. Contact John Langbein (john_langbein@yahoo.com) for more information and to sign up. The maximum number of participants is 8 people, including the leader. Cost will be $150 per person payable by check or Zelle.  Checks should be written to "Ski Touring Section" and sent to the STS treasurer.  The fee covers the hut, two dinners, and fuel.

Although the route into and out of the hut is relatively free of avalanche terrain, most of the activities on Saturday will venture in or near avalanche terrain. Leader will exercise best judgement in route planning to minimize the exposure, but participants will need to carry avalanche beacon, probe and shovel (and know how to use them).
