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.

    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.

    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

    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.
