If the club is thinking "hut", then I think we should also be thinking about building a shelter in a day use area instead.  For backcountry skiing and snowshoeing there aren't many day trip areas that...
Tracking our most reliable trip participants?
How much of the problem is people signing up for multiple trips at the same time?  Because that part could be eliminated by changing the trip organization tool so you cannot sign up for more than one...
BCMC - MOVABLE CABINS AT SQUAM. SMOKE BLUFFS?
How about a yurt?  More rustic than a mobile home, but I consider that to be a good thing.  More portable too.  If we built different platforms in different places the yurt could be moved around from...
