10th Mountain Division Colorado Hut System

10th Mountain Division Hut System

Map Weather Yellow Pages Bookmark Send to Friend Print

When the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division trained in the rugged Colorado high country during the years of World War II, they had no idea these grounds would become a popular winter recreation paradise in the years ahead.
Where rugged winter soldiers were taught to watch for snipers and enemy ski patrols, skiers today are watching the abundant wildlife and peaceful backcountry splendor of the rugged mountainous wilderness of the area surrounding Vail, Leadville, Beaver Creek and Aspen.

And in the wilderness, you won't find the hustle and overcrowded conditions you expect at popular downhill resorts. In the deep backcountry of the 10th Mountain Division cross-country ski trail system, there's nothing to distract you from the natural beauty of the area but the accumulating snow in the serene countryside.

The 10th Mountain Division Hut System has grown to include 20 overnight accommodations on over 350 miles of cross-country trails. Most of the huts come provisioned with the basic necessities, including a woodburning stove, firewood, electric lights, cookstoves and cookware. Outhouse facilities and sleeping quarters with mattresses make for comfortable stays, and some even feature an opportunity to sweat in a sauna.

Although the word hut implies a small building, most are surprisingly large, with an attractive two-story, wood-frame design that sleeps up to 20 people.
