Hello, hut skiers !  We have a trip scheduled for this coming season to Harry Gates Hut.  This will be our third visit to this, one of the oldest huts in the 10^th Mountain system.  At 9700 feet, Harry Gates is the lowest elevation hut among the 20 some odd huts that the 10^th offers.  Elevation is just a number, though, so don’t let this one fool you; the 6.6 mile ski in is plenty challenging, with a total elevation gain of over 1900 feet.

Day skiing around the hut consists mostly of Nordic touring and glade skiing on nearby Burnt Mountain. 

Trip dates, including travel, are February 6, 2023 to February 11, 2023 (dates in the hut are Feb 7 - 9).  Travel dates include an extra day to get back home after exit day, due to the length of the ski out (it can be a time-consuming descent) and the driving distance home.

Total cost of the trip is $205. Because this is a small hut, and because Covid precautions are still in place, we are limiting participation to 12 skiers.  That should allow for some welcome elbow room in this smallish hut. 

For further information, contact Guy Miller or Doug Erb.  We hope to see you at the upcoming picnic.
