Kees & Claire Hut Pre-Build Snow Removal Extravaganza / Camp

Session 1 May 25 - 28 (4 days)

We have only a narrow (June-September) construction window and a very tight work schedule to complete the shell construction of the Kees and Claire Hut at Russet Lake by the time snow flies this fall.

Sign up below and join us for a few days of camaraderie, work and play at the Kees and Claire Hut pre-construction snow removal extravaganza and camp.

There will be three sessions listed on the calendar. If the dates for one camp don't work for you, consider another that fits your timetable. The purpose is to remove the winter's snow accumulation from the foundations constructed last summer as well as around the immediate perimeter, so that construction of the hut can begin promptly June 1st.

While you're thinking about how great it will be to help ready the site in a fantastic spring mountain setting, why not consider asking a friend to come along too?

We don't yet know for sure how much snow there will be at the work site, so current plans are preliminary and may change as we get additional information closer to event date .

Snow cover and work estimates for the work area will be updated and posted here beginning around May 1st or as soon as reliable information becomes available.

Whistler area weather forecasts can be accessed through this link.

Updates to proposed work plans can also be found by clicking on this link to www.spearheadhuts.org

Participants will ski (or snowshoe) into the Kees and Claire Hut site at Russet Lake from the Roundhouse on Whistler Mountain.

Our budget this year is extremely tight
However, Spearhead Huts organizers will arrange transport up the mountain, by truck or complimentary gondola ticket.
AND, there will be support to fly in tents and additional needed equipment into the work site.
