One
more question. Looking
at the maps, it looks like Egypt Road Trails has a warming
hut but Skyfields on Jackson does not. Is this the case? Are warming huts
always open?
Hoping
for some more lake effect snow in the next 2 weeks!
Thanks
again,
Glenn

BREIA RESPONSE:
There is also a warming hut at
Jackson Hill, a very nice one, and it is shown on the trail map.
Go to the main parking lot. Follow the Hillside Trail a short
distance, past the gray container structure, to a marked trail to
the left, which takes you to the warming hut. It's about a 5
minute walk or 3 minute ski at most. Both of our warming huts (Egypt Road and Jackson Hill) are open at all daylight hours during the winter months, and are heated by wood stoves. Firewood and kindling are supplied, but if you are the first user of the day, you may have to light the fire, PLEASE be very careful not to overheat the stove, and do not leave it unattended unless the damper is at least half closed.
Enjoy!
