Winter in Colorado always keeps us on our toes. Unfortunately, this year has been a low-snow year, with warmer temperatures leading to variable conditions and limited skiing. Finally, below-freezing (and even sub-zero) temperatures and fresh snow were finally in the forecast this past weekend, making it the perfect timing for our annual backcountry hut trip. This year, we were lucky enough to snag a reservation at Jackal Hut through the 10th Mountain Division Hut System.
