We'll spend 3 nights at the hut so we can take advantage of glorious backcountry in the incomparable Little Lakes Valley and beyond\, then return for Monday night to modern cabin accommodations (including good food\, hot showers and sauna!) at Rock Creek Lodge
The route is TBD\, but I'd like to do a 3 to 4 day ski traverse\, possibly Mammoth to Yosemite\, or Rock Creek to Mammoth. Otherwise open to suggestions. Mid April to Mid May are the target dates\, weather and conditions dependent. Excellent skiing skills and winter camping experience required.
