Keller Ski Hut – Open Weekend

­­YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE HOST IN ADVANCE. Please no walk -ins.

Host for this event is George Briggs – geob175@gmail.com

We are looking forward to your visit to Keller Ski Hut (the Hut).
Here are a few things to know for you visit to Keller Ski Hut.
· Guests need to bring their own bedding/sleeping bags, food, personal items, and a towel. Sleeping bags are common as they tend to be warmer than blankets.
· There are 2 refrigerators to keep food cold. The one under the stairs is for staff, the one next to the bathroom is for general use. If guest fridge is full, ask staff if you can use their fridge, too.
· There is a fully stocked kitchen with 2 stoves/ovens, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, plates, utensils, etc. We even have a gas BBQ.
· We have a large community bathroom with a hot shower.
· The Hut has two large dorm/hostel-style sleeping areas, men on one side, women on the other. We have 21 single beds with memory foam mats for your comfort.
· The Hut relies on water deliveries to the Hut’s water tank for a water supply, so water conservation is always on our mind. We encourage short showers and avoiding running water unnecessarily to help. Please, when using the shower, turn lever on shower head to off position when soaping up to conserve water.
· Jensen’s Grocery is located 5 miles away in Running Springs and they usually have any items which you may have forgotten.
· In winter, skiing is 100 yards away down the road at Snow Valley Mountain Resort, www.snow-valley.com. The proximity makes for easy back and forth to the slopes from the Hut.
· Cell service is available, but limited strength & bandwidth. Verizon is usually stronger than AT&T in the Hut.
· The Hut is operated by a group of volunteers who make up the Management Committee, work party volunteers, and Hut Hosts. They dedicate their time and treasure to keep the Hut open and available for use by Sierra Club members, guests, and the public.
· Keller Ski Hut operates on a share-the-work basis, and everyone shares chores to clean-up the Hut for the next weekend. Garbage & Waste must be taken down the mountain by those using the Hut.
· 18 years and older.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the Hut or on the porches. No pets allowed. On Open Weekends, no noise producing equipment (radios TVs, cassette/CD players, musical instruments, etc.) is allowed unless agreed by all present, or as listed in the activities schedule.
· Snow cams – Snow Valley snow cam
