Robbs Hut

Plenty of pots, pans and silverware, I didn't need to bring my own. The dishtowel is discusting! I'm bringing my own next time! The cookstove and heater are self lighting now, I remember the days when I had to learn to light the pilots...

The ski in was easy to follow. There was a nice shortcut at about halfway there which followed up next to a ravine directly up to the hut. Following the blue diamond trail markers up the FS road also works fine. Be careful at about 1/2 mi away to make a hard right turn. You should cross a gate across the road, which will be buried, but there is a sign also. The trail markers are sketchy in this area. The hut is very nice and comfortable (but kinda small.) Please keep it clean!! There is not much to do there - anywhere you ski is downhill. If you have two vehicles, consider placing one about 1 mi north on Icehouse road and ski out by following the ridge north from the hut. This route spills out onto an unplowed road which you follow east about 1 mi to your car. Makes a nice semi-loop for the adventurous. The skiing is a little more challenging than retracing the route in but very fun. Do this at your own risk! Enjoy your outing.

It was an adventure backcountry skiing in the dark with my 12 year old. It was a relief to get into the cozy well appointed cabin with its solar light set up and propane gas stove. The power only lasted the first 2 hours then was out for rest of trip, but we had headlamps so we’re just fine . We enjoyed a peaceful snowy first day then the sun graced us the second for our decent to the car. Bring your ham radio.. Great reception up there !!

The three mile hike was very gradual, which helped when snowshoeing. Everything was clean, cozy and comfortable. THANK YOU, Eldorado NF!
