On Day 1, we will drive to Skookum power plant and ski into the cabin at Watersprite Lake. We will probably follow the so-called "summer route" rather than the standard "winter route". The reason being that it is only marginally longer but the skiing out is probably much better than the winter route. On Day 2 we can use the broken trail to return to the hut to pick up our gear.

On Day 2, we will ski up Crawford Peak, return to the hut and ski out to the parked vehicles. We may ski down a different way than we approach, which may result in the return trip being over twice as long as the approach and with more vertical. That means we may end up lower than the cabin and have to climb back up to retrieve our gear. But there is one other option for the return trip.

Day 2 may be a long day. Hopefully, we will get an early start. You will need to be physically fit. A headlamp is required.

For the cabin, I have access to a Coleman 2-burner stove that can be shared if the party is small. The hut has lanterns. You will need to bring sleeping bag, sleeping pad, own cooking gear, TP, white gas (for cooking), booties etc.

Be prepared for an interesting trip.
