Standing or fallen dead trees can be hard to find immediately off the trail. Be prepared to walk into the trees a bit, and bring other combustibles for when you ski in at -35°F! Thankful for the wood karma left behind, and for the opportunity to replenish for the next group, but don't count on it to be enough to heat the cabin at frigid temps. Cabin cooled down very fast overnight, so have a night owl and morning bird in your group to tag-team the wood stove!

We had a lovely stay at Fred Blixt cabin. Cabin was well stocked and driveway was freshly plowed. Perfect cabin for a quick and easy getaway from town!

Trail was just good enough for skiing. Weather was cold and clear and we had a really nice ski out. Clean cabin on a beautiful bluff!

Great time. Stayed here in -20 weather. Stove kept us very warm! Slept in the loft without a sleeping bag.

Clean and stocked with wood, brought some along to contribute.
Aurora danced across the sky our last mile or so into the cabin, epic!

Fred Blixt cabin was just as described. The mosquitoes were bad- usual for Alaska. We brought wood and left most of it as there was a lot there and the nights were warm. There was a propane stove and pots- board games. I would bring mosquito coils/candles.
