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 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 mile 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 mile 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 mile 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.

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...

Sunset and stars are second to none! Well maintained hut with great views. Hut is definitely well taken care of and fully stocked. Picnic tables outside, pit toilet 30 feet to the south, fire lookout with access to the deck only about 50 feet to the west. Hut and toilet are clean. Hut is fully exposed, so if you're there in the summer, it will be HOT in the hut (think 80-90 degrees in the summer). No running water, as advertised, but there is a propane cooking stove and a propane heating stove which would be really nice in the winter. Don't plan on taking a car or daddy's fancy SUV up the access road because you will come back with branch scratches down the side of whatever you drive. And although clearance isn't too much of an issue and you won't need 4x4, the road is rough in a few spots. Overall, a fantastic experience for individuals or the whole family. Easy to access, but still feels like the middle of nowhere. Good instructions provided by the USFS.

Whatever you do, don't go here. There is nobody there, there is nothing to do, Just vast wilderness. who wants to see a bunch of trees and mountains. I recommend going to Disneyland instead.

Robbs Hut is amazing. There are plenty of supplies for cooking and eating so you don't need to bring much. The beds are starting to crack a little, so just be aware of that and the new solar lights are awesome. Not as bright as the old propane lights, but so much safer.
