Celebrate New Year's at the Watersprite Hut. We will have the hut from Tuesday, December 30, to the morning of Friday, January 2. There will be a fly-in option or a snowshoe/ski-in option with light packs. The fly-in cost will be about $400 each, including hut fees, while the snowshoe/ski-in option with the bulk of your gear flown in would be $200. This will allow us to bring in delicious food and appropriate libations for the season. Hopefully, we will have a couple of meters of snow on the ground by then to make for some good skiing in the bowls. We will ski out to the staging area by the power house at the end of the trip. You can ski or snowshoe. The cabin is outfitted with a wood-burning stove, propane countertop cookers and lots of kitchen gear. There are bunk beds upstairs. You need to bring a mattress and a sleeping bag. The cabin is warm and cozy and has solar-powered lights, but no plug-ins for electronics. We will do group meals for breakfast and dinner. You are on your own for lunch and snacks.
