[One participant], probably the least adventurous of us, said she would do this again, the caveat being, it would have to be this hut. She's a creature of habit and habitat. [We] had good times and we laughed a lot! I enjoyed my ski touring and was super grateful to Matt [guide] and Joel [chef] for being flexible on terrain options and nurturing the group. This was such a great way to [be introduced] to the hut trip experience...as adults, without a lot of backcountry experience, I think this gave them a positive and fun memory."
