Scandinavian Hut Backcountry Ski Trip in the Chugach
Комедия
After a heli bump to the Scandinavian Peaks zone in the Chugach just off the Matanuska Glacier, we did some backcountry touring, played a lot of chess, and explored an ice cave with a solid crew of friends. Stayed in the Scandinavian Hut courtesy of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska.

Didn't know Majestic did bumps...looks like a decent trip!
Seems like a pretty big trek for some very mellow terrain. More fun than it looks i presume? Couli looked fun, but needed to be actually ski’d lol, whoever was on it was treating it like it was vertical

There was a weak layer on several aspects and we spotted numerous large avalanches on the way in. Mellow terrain was intentional.
who did you fly in with? majestic? what did it cost? i’ve been wanting to get up in that area.

Reach out to Sheep Mountain Lodge. He has a R44 and can get people in. The crew we flew in with doesn’t generally take people to the hut

@@VoslickZ good to know, thanks
this might be such a silly question, but did you need to fly in to access this hut? or could you have toured in?

It’s a 20 mile one way tour. So yes very possible, but more of a slog than we wanted if you’re hauling in multiple days of food/supplies. And even more so a function of time as well to take advantage of the conditions. If you have 5 days off with a good weather window, it’s not ideal to spend two of them getting in and out.
