We parked at Stemple Pass trailhead and snowshoed up. The views were amazing. The wind was no joke, but inside the cabin it was nice and cozy. We did not bring our dog but I’m glad we didn’t because there is no way she would have been able to maneuver the last flight of stairs. They were way too steep (more like a ladder where you need both hands on the rails going up and down).

I have stayed here in late June and now February, and both were wonderful and windy . It takes some care to remove and replacing the shutter boards, as the wind could catch them, but so worth it for the outstanding 360 views. We had a pretty easy ski in and out with enough snow coverage - only windy on the last mile to the LO.
