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.
