{{HowToRegister}}
{{NoReservations}} 


And as such, in VOC huts ''there is always room for one more''. We suggest non-VOC members donate $10 per person per night, payable [https://www.myshowpass.com/l/6a7c1594/| online], [[Contact us|by mail]], or put it in the blue lock box inside the hut. This money goes to hut and trail maintenance; all of the work is done by volunteers. If you are interested in doing trail work on your way up to the huts, feel free to borrow our [[Tool Inventory|tools]].

You are registering to tell people that you are going, and to receive information in case the hut gets too full for your liking, so please include contact information.  Feel free to register in advance, but remember that other people may plan trips on a different timescale (especially VOC types, who are disorganized students).

==<span style="color:crimson">'''COVID-19: VOC Huts Reopening Policy'''</span>==

VOC Huts are opening with reduced capacity: the number of people in each hut should be low enough that households (individual groups of the same “bubble”) can effectively distance from each other. This means users should follow a first-come first-serve basis based on who arrives at the hut (and who needs to use it). You should not enter the hut if doing so will break 2m social distancing guidelines. DO NOT enter a VOC hut if you are showing symptoms of cold/flu/COVID-19.

''For example: 2 groups of 4 could effectively distance at Phelix (Brian Waddington) Hut, but not at Burton hut. Use your judgement and estimate that the huts can handle ~ ⅓ stated capacity (dependant on # households in group).'' ''The VOC's suggested capacities can be found below.''

We strongly suggest several things if using our huts.
# Sanitize your hands every time you enter the hut, wear a mask at all times while inside the hut (eat outside if the hut is crowded).
# Wipe the main hut touchpoints down with disinfectant (wet-wipes): door handles, ladder handrails, eating surfaces.
# Sleep in a tent if the hut is crowded.
# Please [https://www.showpass.com/hut-donations/ pay your hut fees]. The VOC has seen fewer hut donations but still has plenty of repairs to do this summer.
The VOC does not clean the huts or provide cleaning products and we cannot guarantee the safety of users in the huts; use of our huts is at your own risk. It is the responsibility of hut users to bring their own cleaning/sanitizing supplies. Thank you for your cooperation. 


==Brew Hut Registration==
{{main|Brew Hut}}
{{main|Roe-Brew Trail}}
{{main|Brew Area Trails}}
The [[Brew Hut]] sleeps 12 in relative comfort, '''can handle 1 household of 6 people with COVID restrictions'''.  In a pinch there is enough space for [[Media:brew_packing.pdf|16 to sleep in the loft]] and 3 more on the sleeping bench downstairs, with nobody on the wet floor, but it's very tight.  The current record is 22 people and a dog, set during Thanksgiving 2016. <span style="color:red">Please use firewood sparingly. In summer 2018, VOC spent about $2k to fly in firewood, if we are careful it might last three years.  This is not the place to make campfires.</span> Unless the wind is howling, the snow is flying, and you are actually cold, don't light the wood-burning heater. If you're a strong party consider carrying up your own firewood. If there is snow on the [[Roe Creek Road|Chance Creek FSR]] '''DO NOT''' drive past the Catskiing Parking Lot. Please help us maintain a positive relationship with Powder Mountain Catskiing.
{{NoCampfires|alignment=left}}
Note on dogs: Small spaces, food, copious amounts of people, and dogs don’t fit so well together. As such, please follow these guidelines:
# If you would like to bring your dog, note it on your registration.
# At least one week prior to your trip, communicate with all other registered users. If they are not okay with a having a dog around the hut, please respect that wish. 
# Generally, dogs should not be inside the hut unless absolutely necessary. Under NO circumstance should a dog ever be in the loft. 
# Follow good dog etiquette practices for the backcountry. [https://www.backpacker.com/skills/the-manual-take-your-dog-hiking Please read this guide].

;<small>'''2020 February 29 - Owen McDonnell'''</small>
: <small>A friend and I arrived early Saturday morning with the intention of staying a night at the hut. Having never tried alpine touring before, my shame at having failed is somewhat dampened, but a little disappointed nonetheless.</small><small>I'll share some of our faulty assumptions, so other beginners might have a better chance of success.</small>  <small>Firstly, though we were prepared for a long skin up, having been told that driving past the [http://www.powdermountaincatskiing.com PMC] office is effectively impossible, I had an image of driving up to decent snow over which to glide. Well, we had to hike for a few hundred meters carrying our gear in our hands, arbitrarily choosing a point to put the skis on for a KM or so of pretty slushy/icy/muddy road (with plenty of snowmobile traffic to keep us company).ï</small>  
: <small>Higher up on the trail, once off the roe creek road, the small, deep trenches that you run into present quite a challenge to a beginner, both technical and psychological since you don't have a confident sense of where you can safely place your skis.</small> <small>Ultimately we turned around since we had three paths to choose from and, though we could make out no markers, we both agreed of the most likely one. Unfortunately, that path seemed totally cut off by a small stream which had formed a small gully.</small>  
: <small>In summary, maybe this is not the most appropriate trip for a first time skier with rental gear and unaccompanied by someone who's traveled this winter trail before.Or at very least, make sure you'll be able to follow someone's tracks. </small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
;<small>'''2020 February 2 - George Hill'''</small>
: <small>This is a reminder that during the winter months until late April, the farthest you can drive is to the Cat-ski parking lot 1.5km from the highway. Be aware that the cat will not always have the road leading up to the trailhead groomed (you might be breaking trail after a storm!). Be prepared for 1000m of elevation gain over 12km of skinning (8km the road and 4km on the [[Roe-Brew Trail]]). Depending on your group dynamics and fitness level, the total time from car to hut can take as much as 10hrs or be as quick as 5hrs. If you need any help to make your trip success, don't hesitate to contact us at info@ubc-voc.com.</small>
;<small>'''2019 November 2 - Martin Ortmayr'''</small>
: <small>The broom handle is broken and needs replacing (or a new broom), so sweeping the hut is a bit of a pain.The old one seems to have been made with an old ski pole. We moved some of the sheet metal from behind the door to under the bench where it is more out of the way. Noticed mouse activity in the area behind the door that wasn't getting swept. Probably the less clutter in the hut the better, as far as mice go. We also dismantled a fire ring that a previous party had constructed outside.</small> ([https://www.flickr.com/photos/88819351@N00/49007487022/in/dateposted-public/ Picture:/])
<small>'''2019 September 2nd - George Hill'''</small>
: <small>The outhouse is in good shape and prepared for winter. New spring door hinges and door trim have been installed as well as some new metal signage. The pit is showing signs of naturally occurring vermiculture; a sign that the conveyor belt is succeeding in removing urine from the pit. Unfortunately, as a prototype, the conveyor has seen issues over the past year and it needs an upgrade, namely, a synchronous belt with a more robust drive train. It has been removed and placed underneath the outhouse for now.</small>
;<small>'''2019 February 21st - Austin Gardner'''</small>: <small>I noticed a minor leak in the loft in the middle of the room. There's a rusty nail marking the problem area. Asides from that everything seemed in great shape</small>
[[Archive:Hut Bulletins#Brew Hut|<small>Archive:Hut Bulletins#Brew Hut</small>]]<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
;<small>'''2019 February 4th -''' Jenna Wright</small>: <small>The wood block that locks the outhouse from the outside is gone. A rock has been left in front of the door with hopes of keeping the door closed and the inside protected from the elements. </small>
;<small>2018 October 8th - [[user:George|George Hill]]</small>:<small> A new outhouse has been installed. [https://www.ubc-voc.com/2018/09/26/brew-outhouse-and-door-project-part-1-design-preconstruction See trip report here].</small>

;<small>2018 March 5th - [[user:Hfilyk|Heather Filyk]]</small>:<small>As of this past weekend there are a few updates. (1) Pin to turn light on fell out - light switch needs repair. Pin was stuck back in but then light would not turn off. (2) Inside Door knob broken - stopped turning the door lock. Had to remove handle in the morning to get out. Can open from outside. (3) The Outhouse is full up to the seat and no longer usable - for those going up to the hut bring poop bag to hut and pack it out.</small>
;<small>2017 June 10th - [[user:Rolandburt|Roland Burton]]</small>: <small>We now have solar lighting, which should provide ~8 hours of light, after charging with 20 hours of sunlight. Turn it on with the black button, and turn it off with the red button. It turns off every hour.</small> 
;<small>2017 June 9th - [[user:ghill031|George Hill]]</small>: <small>The [[Coleman Stoves|Coleman stove]] up there was tested as working on this date.  The VOC does not supply fuel for it.  If you are not familiar with Coleman stoves, don't use it and bring your own cooking stove.</small> 
;<small>2017 January 15th - [[user:ghill031|George Hill]]</small>: <small>A security guard has been unlawfully preventing cars for non-motorized recreationalists from getting to the winter parking lot. This security guard does not have authorization from the Squamish Forest District and therefore if you are stopped, call Dave Southam the Sea to Sky District Manager at (604) 898-2141.

The [[Brian Waddington Hut]] can handle [[Media:BWH Sleeping Capacity.jpg|31 people in the loft upstairs]] and potentially 8-10 people more downstairs if necessary. '''The hut can handle 2 households of 4 people with COVID restrictions.''' We discourage people from going up there between August 15 and October 15 as the grizzly bears up there need a little privacy at this time. Due to the sensitive nature of the alpine environment, please do not make campfires or cut wood from  around the Hut.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
:;<small>'''2020 January 21<sup>st</sup> - Haley Foladare. <span style="color:crimson">WATER QUALITY SAFETY ADVISORY</span>'''</small>: <small> There have been concerns regarding the quality of the water that is obtained at the creek just to the left of the hut. Please insure that you are getting your water UPHILL of the outhouse, and if not, ensure that you are treating water before drinking. Keep in mind that you won't realize the issue until two weeks later- so best to take necessary precautions. The club executive will be testing the water quality, and taking this into consideration when making decisions regarding the location of the next outhouse.</small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<small>'''2019 November 23<sup>rd</sup> – James Starke – jamesmstarke@gmail.com'''</small>: <small> Had a crazy experience this weekend trying to get to the Brian Waddington Hut. We took the 4x4 trail all the way to the trail head and when we arrived, we came onto quite the scene. There was a burnt-out pickup truck that smelt very fresh. In addition, there were possessions thrown all over the area including two passports, three smashed cell phones, a smashed laptop, ID cards, toiletry bags and clothing. It felt like a crime scene and had a very eerie feeling. We turned around and left deciding not to hike to the hut with a fear of walking into something. ''(obviously our whole group was thinking about the Canadian Manhunt from the summer'') We called the police and reported it. I thought the community would like to know before anyone drives 4 hours to a trail head only to be turned around. </small>
:;<small>'''2019 February 3<sup>rd</sup> - Tom Curran'''</small>: <small>Noticed one of the fire extinguishers had been used. Other one fine. Small propane heater working - see below. Windows seemed somewhat frozen shut. Carried out 1 broken ski pole and one mostly empty gas canister for canister stoves. Please do not leave trash at the hut. </small>
:;<small>'''2019 January 28<sup>th</sup> - Jordan Uittenbogaard'''</small>: <small>We got the [[Propane Coleman Stoves|coleman propane stove]] working no problem by pushing the new regulator into the stove to engage the valve. We pushed it in as hard as we could then tightened it down. After we did that, it worked all weekend. If just threaded on, it wont work. I have also donated a heater (Mr. Heater Portable Propane Buddy Heater MH 9BX) to the hut. It uses the 1lb propane cylinders as well and produces a good amount of heat. We were rather comfortable. On high a cylinder lasts 3 hours and on low 6 hours. [[Media:Jordan Uittenbogaard Mr Buddy Heater.jpg|See picture.]]</small>
:;<small>'''2019 January 2<sup>nd</sup> - [[user:Lukas|Lukas Schreiber]]'''</small>: <small>Elliott Skierszan, his friend Nick and I made necessary improvements to the outhouse. One, we added a beam to better support the seat platform in the front. Two, we added an extra panel below and in front of the toilet seat, to prevent body liquids from reaching the outhouse floor. </small>

:;<small>2019 January 14th - Alastair White</small>: <small>The info email received a report that Garibaldi Lake is only 3/4 frozen and Sentinel and Sphinx bays are still open.</small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<small>2018 November 12th - Krista Cawley and Piotr Forysinski</small>: <small>The hut is still snow-free. We visited for the weekend to do some maintenance on the outhouse, which does not look like it's been used in quite some time. The door now has additional wood to reinforce where the hinges are, as well as new hinges, and has been re-mounted and secured with a piece of string and a nail to keep it closed in the winter. The wood on the door jam is still OK and will likely last a little while longer. We also screwed the throne to the floor so it doesn't move, and closed up the back of the outhouse where it looks like an animal ripped the wood away. Likely, this is why the outhouse has been getting filled with snow; hopefully this year the lower level will stay snow-free. There's a piece of cedar 1x6, a few smaller blocks of wood, and some screws we left in the repair bin in the hut. The hut could use a new pen or pencil (there appears to be none there), but otherwise seems in good shape for the winter.</small> 
:;<small>2018 June 24th - Jeff Mottershead</small>: <small>There's a thing on the hut registration (April 2nd Bulletin) that claims it's totally full and to bring sacks for poop. This isn't really true. The door of the outhouse is torn off and I can only assume that it was filled with a snow/poop aggregate. Spring has sprung. The poop has sunk. I wonder if once it stunk. The poop should find a loving home this summer, though, otherwise it will be really overflowing by this time next year. Another thing worth thinking about is putting the door back on. One hinge is bent, screws are rusted and busted and the wood that the screws used to screw into is punky, partially missing and not long for this world. If I was not useless I would have had a tape measure, but alas...</small>
:;<small>2018 April 2nd - [[user:George|George Hill]]</small>: <small>We have received reports that the outhouse at Burton is completely full. Until we can fix it we ask that anyone going to Burton Hut plan on bringing poop bags. Please do not poop in the snow. Additionally, we get water by melting snow at the Hut and we do not want to have people getting sick from poop contamination. </small>
:;<small>2018 February 21st - [[user:George|George Hill]]</small>: <small>Hut was nearly submerged in snow and only had about a meter poking above the surface. The orange marker sitting atop a pole strapped to the front was well attached and could have survived another half meter above the roof. The outhouse was about 90% submurged and was dug out once, but with high winds was quickly filled back in. The square hole at the top of the back side of the hut was letting an ample amount of snow and moisture into loft such that no one wished to sleep in the loft on that side. There used to be a small Styrofoam piece that would fit over top of the holes however the piece had broken. It might be worth considering how to improve this opening over the summer to reduce our reliance on fragile Styrofoam pieces. Both burners of the Coleman Stove worked well and combined with body heat of 8 people the Hut kept itself fairly warm despite -20 overnight lows and even colder winds blowing into the hut from the hole previously mentioned. Some Journals were brought up and the Journal list has now been updated [[VOC Journal|here]].</small>

:;<small>2020 August 7th - John Howe</small>:Message from a logging company in charge of new logging along the trail: The first section of trail, from Perkins Main to Meager Creek, is closed until mid September for active logging. They also say "All access along the Meager Road (by foot and bike) will also be very limited, for safety reasons, during daylight hours from August 15 until mid-September as helicopter operations are underway." VH: not sure how this affects weekend access. 
:;<small>2019 June 1st - John Howe</small>: <small>Active logging has started for the season and there will be hauling on the Lillooet South FSR and the Meager South roads within the next few days, continuing for a few weeks. The first half of the Harrison Hut Trail has sections where active falling is occuring and with cut-blocks being a serious safety hazard, the first half of the Trail is CLOSED. The second half of the trail is OPEN and can be reached by travelling along the Meager South Road to bypass the first half of the trail. '''''VOC Note''': The first half of the trail is somewhat redundant now anyways since the 23km gate prevents vehicle access to the trailhead. It is faster and easier to cycle the new road to the mid-way point of the trail and start from there. This also avoids the loggers as well.''</small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<small>2018 September 19th - John Howe</small>: <small> Pebble Creek Timber Co., the logging company with timber rights in the Meager Valley, is planning to start heli logging operations that will affect the Harrison Hut Trail that starts near Perkins Creek and goes into the Meager Creek watershed. For safety reasons, the trail will be closed 7 days a week for the next two months as of today until November 30th, 2018.  Signs will be posted at the trailhead and on both sides of the effected sections. </small>
:;<small>2018 September 16th - [[user:George|George Hill]]</small>: <small> The Lillooet South FSR is closed, beginning at the 2km gate, to motorized vehicle traffic from September 16th to November 30th and from April 1st to June 15th annually to protect sensitive grizzly bear habitat. Non-motorized traffic, such as biking, skiing or hiking are still permitted. The gate is closed by the Sea to Sky Forest District and was implemented as a result of a 2018 report titled ''[https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/dsq/Stewardship/Upper_Lillooet_Access_Recommendations_Report_March29_2018.pdf "Motorized Access Management: Recommendations to Protect Grizzly Bears in the Upper Lillooet River Area"]''. The report cites the following as the reason for the implementation of the gates: ''"public recreation that is cause for concern, owing to the observations on the north side of the Lillooet River FSR, and activities in the Pebble Creek hot springs that frequently require action by Conservation Officers and FLNRORD Compliance and Enforcement personnel...Gates allow for continued industrial and First Nations use while restricting public recreational or other unauthorized use"''. For further information, contact the Sea to Sky Forest District.</small>
:;<small>2018 June 26th - Roland Burton</small>: <small>Hi, My name is Simon Getaz, I am in charge of the falling for logging purpose of cutblocks 170 and 171 up Perkins Main. Those two block are located at the start of the Harrison Hut trail. We noticed people walking and driving through those cutblocks to access the trail, so we would like to inform you of our active falling and logging operation. Signage will be in place. If any of your members were to do this hike, could they please get on the trail where it originally started and not through the new cutblocks. Safety is our priority and the trail can remain open if accessed this way. If we notice people going through our signage without care we might be forced to shut the trail access. Thank you for your understanding. Simon Getaz 604 6126404 </small>
:;<small>2018 June 19th - Vincent Hanlon</small>: <small>The gate at 2km (on Lillooet South FSR) is open, but it may be closed periodically because of landslide risk if things get really hot.

The Hut now looks nearly brand new. Things that can still be done include adding a layer of paint to the new floor and baseboards; rebuilding the movable bench to sit flat on the ground; new windows & frames; rebuilding the ladder to be more sturdy and; replacing the wooden solar panel frame with a more robust metal frame.</small>

==Non-VOC Huts==
{{main|Non-VOC Hut Registration}}
There are many non-VOC huts out there that are similarly not locked, don't take reservations, and, are generally first come first serve. If you want to indicate that you will be using one of these huts anyways, you are welcome to do so on the [[Non-VOC Hut Registration]] Page. These huts were not built by the VOC and are not maintained by the VOC. Most users of these huts do not use this registration board so do not be surprised to arrive to a full cabin even if nothing is posted there. These huts were not built by the VOC and we do not maintain them. If you visit a non-VOC hut, please consider leaving a donation for the caretakers.
