Hut Needs and Notes

If you are headed to one of the MCA huts, please consult the notes below to see what needs to go to the huts or be repaired. All huts have tools and materials so that anyone can make basic repairs. If you have a favorite hut and would like to take the lead on checking on the hut and organizing maintenance the MCA would greatly appreciate your help!

All Huts
Be prepared- take your own stove and alternative shelter.

Snowbird Hut
While the Snowbird Hut is an American Alpine Club Hut, it is commonly linked to the MCA Huts on the Bomber Traverse.

Maintenance Alert/Needs: The Coleman stove is in need of replacement as it fumigates the hut. Empty fire extinguisher need to be packed out

Mint Hut
Maintenance Alert/Needs: 2024 renovations are complete! The hut is considerably larger than before, has plenty of windows and an upgraded outhouse capacity. Due to misuse the Coleman stove has been removed. One white gas lantern remains, but users keep removing parts so it may need to be packed out as well. Please pack out all trash.

ALL EKLUTNA TRAVERSE HUTS 
ET travelers should take trash compactor bags along if they elect to dispose of waste in barrels. WAG bags have been used inappropriately. WAG bags are for packing out NOT placing into onsite human waste barrels.

For depositing human waste onsite, use 5-gallon bucket lined with trash compactor bag, place a small scoop of “poo powder” in each bag and dispose of tied bag into onsite human waste barrel (outside of hut). Be sure to close and secure barrel lids at all times. If all barrels are full or nearly full please email the huts team.
