Description

The trail is rutted, rocky, and rooty, so expect to get some scratches unless there's a lot of snow lower down in the valley. Ascend and descend the same way. It's a very straightforward ascent to the hut.

Conditions up were fine, but skiing down was very challenging with mixed snow conditions throughout.
