Mary Kaye Gallagher is putting together a trip the Aladdin's Lamp Hut for the New Year's Celebration. Aladdin's Lamp Hut has become a great location not just for the snow but for those who want to experience the hut environment. The hut is only a couple hundred yards from the parking area, so the normal struggle to get "home"...

We are looking into holding another beginner hut trip at Aladdin's Lamp. This trip is primarily for those who can ski but have never tried a hut trip. It will give you an opportunity to experience the Hut Trip environment in all of its glory. And you will have a chance to do some skiing right outside your home away from...

Our first scheduled hut trip for 2016 will be to Francie’s Cabin, located near Breckenridge, Colorado. This “stretch” hut holds 20, and features indoor toilets and an outdoor wood-fired sauna. We have been to Francie’s before, and have always found a variety of exciting day skiing opportunities. The area immediately around the hut world class Alpine terrain, featuring lots...
