Hut Trip! Post your best recipes - 3.27.13

Sunday marks my 27th birthday, as well as a 14.3 mile skin into a hut in the Canadian Rockies! Couldn't be more stoked. I have never done a hut trip before, and so I've never had the luxury of a backcountry kitchen, and I usually just do my meal planning for myself. This trip, we've got 5 people and we are sharing the cooking, at least for dinner. Have any favorite hut meals? Help me out and post them here, otherwise, it's 4 days of this:

New Snow - 3.17.13

Mr. C.S. - 8" of fresh snow was a nice surprise

I scheduled a backcountry patrol day for the 17th, months ago. Things have been a bit dry around here the past few weeks but we finally had some new snow dropping, however, it was accompanied by 70mph winds up at Timberline, and the accumulation didn't look too spectacular. Two friends and I decided to stretch our legs anyways, and figured that exercise is all we were in for, as conditions were probably wind-scoured with a little bit of dust on crust. To our pleasant surprise, there was 8"+ of some of the driest snow that I have seen on this part of the mountain. Stability was about as good as it gets, and I was finally able to bag some lines that I have been checking out all season.

Oregon Splitfest - 3.9.13

Perfect weather!

The second annual Oregon Splitfest is in the books. We had sunny weather (on Saturday), stable snow, and lots of great people, parties, and prizes. Much thanks to Jones Snowboards, Karakoram Bindings, Arbor Snowboards, US Outdoor Store, and Next Adventure for coming out, demoing gear, and giving away product in the raffle. Of course, a big shout out to Geoff Guillory for putting the whole thing together, and NWAC for presenting. You really should have been there! Don't miss it next year. That's all I've got; just eye candy from here on out.
