As I'm sweltering in the Caribbean on the Big Project I came across some photos from February.   Every year a group of Mountain Friends and I go on one or two "hut trips".  Huts are comfortable cabins that are in remote areas of the Colorado Wilderness.  We ski or snow shoe in with our gear, good food and adult beverages.  This is a wonderful winter experience for me and I look forward to it every year.  Last year we went very upscale to the Shrine Mountain Huts.  These are over the top with indoor plumbing.  Not as rustic as most.  Here's some pictures....the snow looks very appealing now.
