Snow Peak Cabin

Such a cozy well stocked cabin. The firewood and (relatively for a cabin!) clean space was much appreciated.

Several feet of snow still at the cabin - snowshoes definitely needed. Great skiing stashes abound. Full lunar eclipse was awesome, though partially obscured from clouds. Heavy fog most of the stay, some heavy rain. Lots of animal tracks in the snow. Cabin stocked nicely with everything you need. An incredible experience - the peace/solitude alone is definitely worth the effort!

Cabin very comfortable and well stocked with firewood. Snow not great for our trip, but still a great experience.

Snow Peak Cabin is a cozy if rustic experience. Lots of wood to keep you warm, propane on a nice 2-burner stove to cook with adequate kitchen pots, pans, utensils (though no dishwashing buckets or anything like that.) Some matches and a lighter were there too. Be sure that you are very well prepared to navigate there and potentially break trail the entire 5 miles. The trail may not be very obvious - we have noticed on our various trips there that prevailing winds blow snow over the trail and the orange poles, blazes and flagging can be concealed by snow or in fact not even be there further in! Be aware as well of avalanche terrain and cross those large open slopes in the final 2-ish miles very carefully (we did so 1 person at a time.) In 2021 we observed the classic warning signs of avalanche hazard: shooting cracks and the whoompf sound on slopes near the trail within a mile of the cabin. Enjoy the solitude and beauty of this special place!

Snowshoed to Snow Peak Cabin and it was an absolute treat. The cabin is cozy and comes loaded with 4 cots, a wood burning stove, propane cook top, lights, and plenty of cooking utensils to help keep your pack light for your trek. You gotta pull on the door pretty good to get it open, took me a few tries the first time. Unfortunately my car was broken into at the Kettle Crest parking lot on the top of Sherman's Pass which really sucked to drive back across the pass. Be sure to take your wallet and don't leave any valuables in your car!
