Hut Systems
- Thread starter Zone28M7

This is a tricky situation (sledding to huts). Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot ride to huts. The greenies say you can't and even the hut system suggests that you don't ride sleds to huts. You can only ride to within 1/4 mile of the hut (envelope around the hut). I have ridden a sled to a hut and the greenies didn't like it. They wouldn't even talk to us (imagine my pain). Then, when they were tired on the way out they asked us for rides! Hypocrites!

Were a hut system that caters to all paying costumers, end of story. If you like snow your more than welcome to come, and the sledding is awesome.

And I'll say that EVERYONE who I have met out there has been very cool. No entitled greenie kind of attitudes out there. I've towed in gear for skiers, driven back out to pick up others, and every one of them has made it a GREAT experience. Not sure if it's the fact that they're coming in on a sled trail so they know it's going to be mixed? Either way, nothing but good attitudes out there every time for us!

If you like the outdoors its the place to be. Check out our facebook page and you'll see videos of sledding, skiing or just hanging out. Being a greenie or a brownie doesn't interest us. Making sure people have fun does.

vagabond is the shisnit. you want rustic sled in out this is the place.rustic enough but not so that you feel its 1820's. Jeremy is a sledder so he will take care of you when it comes to finding snow. grand lake is not to far over the mountain. all in all a rally great place with great people. mike

this Eureka Lodge looks money! Good prices, good area for snow! Bonnie Belle is a tad pricey but cool idea if you have a big group. Thanks for all the help guys! If you have suggestions, keep them coming.

what are these huts you speak of?
Forgive me but what the hell are you guys talkin about with these huts?

10th mountain huts are mostly around summit county (and surrounding)

the others mentioned I've never been to.
They're all some form of rustic to less rustic lodging that you can ride to / from.

Yeah, were having a light snow year to say the least like all of northern Colorado. But...there are still some great areas to play around in. Around GL its down right bare this year and pretty much unrideable. Hopefully it changes soon.
Another vote for Vagabond Ranch. You can ride to within a sled-length of the door. To say that everyone gets along there is an understatement. Everyone there just loves the outdoors, there's not really competition for terrain. Loved the laid back atmosphere. It's not often that a two-day trip can feel like a vacation.
^^^Does the girl come with rental of the hut or did you have to bring her?

Just so you know the old crazy lady denied the whole event....The one who was yelling at people for not getting into the hot tub at 1:30am. Best part is we have the pictures of her. What happens at Vagabond didn't stay Vagabond this time...
From what I hear the shots were being served in measuring cups, which I can't find...Nothing like 2 cups for a shot to get things going.
