;How to Register
Sign in to the VOCWiki on the [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] page.  You may need to create an account, which can be done from the [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] page.  Include your email address in your account information.  It will not be exposed to the public but it will allow people to contact you with the "email this user" feature.
Edit this Wiki page using the edit tab.  Or just edit the subsection you want to change using the edit buttons to the right of each heading.  See [[help:contents]] for help with editing the wiki.
Add a line to the appropriate hut section with your registration.  Include the following information:
*The date you plan to use the hut
*The size of your group.  Do not describe your party size as "hut full".  This isn't a very good descriptor - it's way too subjective.  Try and give some real numbers, even if it's only an estimate or a range.  We don't ask that you're so specific, but please try and ''estimate a number'' and update that to be as accurate as you can.  VOC trips, in particular, can usually be found on the [[trip agenda]] - so if you are a VOC Member, you can see not only how many people are coming, but even what their names are and who's driving (if the organizer is keen they will have a link directly in the hut registration page).  
*Your contact information - your phone number, email address, or a link to your user or user:talk page (easily created with <nowiki>~~~~ or ~~~</nowiki>).  If you have registered your email with the VOCWiki, other people can contact you through your user:talk page without revealing your email address.

If your chosen date becomes too busy for your liking, you could choose to bring a tent, or you may move your registration to another date. If you choose to bring a tent, update your registration to say how many people will be tenting vs. staying the hut. If you are still using hut facilities please consider still donating at least $5 per person per night. 

'''Update your registration if any details about your group change.'''

'''DO NOT DELETE REGISTRATIONS: Registrations numbers are being recorded in the [[VOC Hut Registration Archive]] page at the end of each month. For further information contact VOC Hut Coordinator [[User:Haleyfoladare|Haley Foladare]] or [[User:Ghill031|George Hill]].'''

You are registering to tell people that you are going, but also to receive information in case the hut gets too full for your liking.  That's why you ''need'' to include your 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 categorically disorganized students).

VOC members are very tolerant of cramped conditions in our huts.  If you would prefer to avoid crowded situations, please register below so the VOC and other users can contact you to coordinate use. The rule for VOC huts is that ''there is always room for one more'' (this works both ways).

We suggest non-VOC members give VOC a donation of '''$10''' per person per night; '''[https://www.myshowpass.com/l/6a7c1594/| We now have a place where you can donate online!]''' Alternatively you could [[Contact us|send it to us]] or put it in the blue lock box inside the hut. This money is exclusively for goods to maintain the huts and their trails. All of the hard labor is done by volunteers. If you are interested in doing trail work on your way up to any of the Huts the VOC has a complete set of Tools that you can freely borrow. View our complete inventory of tools at our [[Tool Inventory]] page.


==Brew Hut Registration==
{{main|Brew Hut}}
{{main|Roe-Brew Trail}}
{{main|Brew Area Trails}}
The [[Brew Hut]] sleeps 12 in relative comfort.  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 2014, VOC spent about $7k to fly in firewood, if we are careful it might last five 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. 

'''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].''' Even if you think you already know the meaning of good backcountry dog etiquette, read it anyways.
You can make a donation for your stay [https://www.showpass.com/hut-donations/ here].

:;<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]. Unfortunately there has been a small problem with the spring back mechanism of the foot pedal and it is not working right now - we will be going up to fix it this weekend or before.</small>
:;<small>2018 May 7th - [[user:Rolandburt|Roland Burton]]</small>:<small> Solar lighting is OK now; buttons have been replaced with a clockwork timer. Outhouse is working OK; it seems there was "operator error".  Door will be repaired later this summer.</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>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<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>

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. 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.

:;<small>'''2019 February 3rd - 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 28th - 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 2nd - [[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>'''2018 November 12th - [[user:George|George Hill]]'''</small>: <small>A team of 6 VOC volunteers went up to the Hut with a gallon of Moldex Killer and scrubbed out the loft and roof, cleaning it of all the visible mould and some of the grime/mould nutrients caked on to the roof. Ryan took a peek behind a small loose-ish panel and saw mold growth behind the plywood. He hypothesizes that the mould's reach behind the panels is far and wide, and that old mould in the plywood rafters had been sealed in previously by teak oil, but not killed. IF these are indeed the things that are happening, then the whole roof plywood, insulation and vapour barrier should be replaced at the time of a heater being installed. However, we should not jump to this before at least taking off one panel and investigating it further. The solar fan is working fine and my hypothesis for why the mould was so horrid this year was because of the vent on the north side of the hut. We installed a temperature sensor last New Years that used the vent and had a rag stuffed in it (the rag is typically removed in the spring/summer but wasn't this year because of the sensor). We have now moved the sensors so that they do not use the vent and hopefully next year, the hut should not see the same kind of mould growth, especially after our cleaning this fall. Also on this trip we put up a blackboard. Feel free to use it to post avalanche bulletins, weather or other family friendly artwork. Also, also, the propane cooking stove has a faulty regulator. We have taken the regulator down and will bring up a new one at New Years (unless someone beats us to it).</small>
:;<small>'''2018 November 3rd - Luc Harvey'''</small>: <small>A team of 16 VOC volunteers went up to the Phelix Creek FSR with 3 Brush saws, picks and shovels, multiple sets of clippers and a chainsaw to cut back the alder along the road from the landslide to the trailhead. Three of us went up on the Friday and did a bunch of work to the landslide section of the road to improve vehicle access and made it more safe to drive over. It looks much better from what people who had driven it before had told me. Rocks were moved and the slide was cut back to make as level a surface as possible. A regular sized 4x4 vehicle with enough clearance can now make it past the slide with ease now. On the Saturday, the alder along the majority of the road was also significantly cut back and should now hopefully, at a minimum, hold out until the end of next summer. A bunch of tall, leaning alder trees were also cut down and moved to the side of the road to prevent them from falling over the road in the future. The logging company in the area intends to reactivate the road as Ryan hinted to below so this may not need to be done again for a good while. Further to this, the 2 ton second bridge (or as we call it the zero bridge as we don't think it should have any vehicles crossing it due to the state of the beams supporting it) was tested by Tom's SUV and proven that it can still support the weight of a vehicle. Nevertheless, I think that the more we test it, the more likely it is to break so I would avoid repeating this at all costs (unless you feel like getting your vehicle stuck up there). Lastly, the flagging is still up at the ditches along the road (be careful crossing these as there is a good chance of bottoming out if you drive through them too fast). We reattached any flagging on new branch nearby when alder that had flagging attached to them was cut down.</small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<small>'''2018 October 8th - Ryan Macdonald'''</small>: <small>The mold issue at Brian Waddington is worse than ever. Pink & White mold is eating into the main roof beam, and black mold has colonized around the front window + all the roof panels to some extent. I suspect, given the vapor barrier, that behind said panels may be a horror show of health hazard levels if we pulled one and took a peek. I was quite shocked at how much worse it is from ten months ago. In other news there's fresh flagging all the way up the road for the installation of drainage works, so presumably someone intends to reactivate the spur past the log & rope bridge. Hopefully they stabilize the landslip and don't put a big gate in or pull the bridges when they finish. One mouse was caught by a trap, however there were several running around downstairs at night, suspending food is recommended. We removed the metal footbridge for the winter on our way out.</small>
:;<small>'''2018 April 19th - Luc Frost'''</small>: <small>We planned on driving most of the FSR but had to change plans immediately due to a huge boulder that has blocked the road right at the very start.</small> http://tinypic.com/r/2e2gmxv/9 <small>We managed to clear a route around it by removing the trees that it had taken out after it rolled down the hill, and managed to get around the landslide (don't do this in a truck.. way too sketchy) but there is a LOT of snow from the very start so we had to park up just before the landslide. Thanks to Scott McKenzie's email, I had a good idea of what the rest of the trail would be like. We spent 3 days up at the hut. It was mostly full on the first night so bear in mind a lot of people don't realize the registration page exists.</small>
:;<small>'''2018 April 15th - Scott McKenzie'''</small>: <small>Parked at the gate to Birkenhead Prov. Park and started skinning up the Phelix Creek FSR.  There were a few sections we had to boot pack up, and they were longer on the way down due to snow melt Saturday afternoon and Sunday.  The snowmobile tracks between the parking lot and the trail split were a pain, more so on the ski out as it was all slushy, tight rollers.  The section above the split (just before the 2nd bridge on the way up) was pretty good.  The snowpack was soft under foot, and even skis were sinking on occasion if you stepped off the buried skin track (we broke Trail the whole way up).  There were a number of small creeks that still had snow bridge dips over them, but we had to pop skis off and walk across the wider creek (single log bridge with a rope handrail).  The steep portion (last 2km before the lake) of the trail was pretty icy which was tough both up and down. The Hut is in pretty good shape, there was lots of snow at the top, there are openings in the creek, but the lake is still nicely frozen.  There is no propane left for the stove or griddle, but otherwise it’s clean and cozy.  Skiing off Cabin Hill Sunday was stable and ankle deep pow.</small>
:;<small>2018 March 10th - Jason John Thompson</small>: <small> skins on from beginning on phelix fsr. it took 5.5 hrs with two snack breaks easy pace. leave early easy skinning first 7km. last 3km is a slog with “skin track” of sub optimal. the phelix creek trail steep hill skinning at the end is icy since everyone coming down and pizza wedges it. we even took skis off at one point to boot up ice. once at lake lots of snow soft of N aspect. south aspects got sun baked. I imagine its frozen crust now. cabin minus 2 in morning with 2 peeps. amazing terrain.</small>
:;<small>2018 January 5th - [[user:E.skierszkan|Elliot Skierszkan]]</small>: <small>Our party of 4 was the last ''VOC''-affiliated party to leave the hut, yesterday. We did a good clean up of the surfaces and kitchenware, hauled out the remaining garbage, chipped the ice away from the windows and door frames so they would shut properly and generally left the hut in much greater condition than when we arrived on the 31st. The hut does have a resident mouse, unfortunately. Tom and Cassandra did an amazing job clearing alder on the way up, and I also hacked away some more on my way down. Tom and Cassandra removed most of the alder close to the trail, so by the time I was sweeping out I was attacking what little remained. The result of this and many previous trail-clearing efforts mean that the ski in/out of Phelix is in the best condition I have ever seen it, so great work to all those involved!</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>
:;<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>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
:;<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>

==Harrison Hut Registration==
{{main|Harrison Hut}}
{{main|Harrison Hut Trail}}
The [[Harrison Hut]] sleeps 10 comfortably and 15 is cozy.  Getting to the hut is difficult but is getting easier.  Read more here: [[Harrison Hut Trail]]. Road closures are frequent due to the landslide risk being high, or landslides actually occurring and blocking the road. Be sure to check the official road bulletin here [https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/dsq/engineering/roadinformation.htm] before going. Keep in mind the bulletin is not updated nearly as frequently as it should so sometimes the road re-opens before it is official posted on the bulletin. Check the bulletin below for the most recent VOC and user updates on both the road status and the Hut/Trail conditions. <br>

{{Template:Harrison Hut Helicopter Access}}. Expect to pay ca $2k for the flight in and another $2k for the flight out.

:;<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>

:;<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. Incidentally, this sort of information about road access is available from the Sea to Sky Natural Resource district ([https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/natural-resource-use/resource-roads/local-road-safety-information/sea-to-sky-natural-resource-district-road-safety-information Sea to Sky Resource Road Status and Information Page]). They're especially helpful if you call and ask nicely (604 898-2100). </small>

==Lizzie Creek Cabin Registration==

{{main|Stein Valley Traverse}}
There is no registration for the Lizzie Creek Cabin. 

=== Bulletins ===
:;<small>2018 July 1st - Rob Szpak</small>: <small>Ran the to the cabin yesterday. Looks like it needs a good clean, the back window is missing, and the stove vent piping has fallen off.</small>
:;<small>2018 June 23rd - Kent Popjes</small>: <small>We received a report of a hiker that arrived at Lizzie Lake cabin tonight and encountered a bear in the cabin.  Apparently the hiker pepper sprayed the bear, the bear was unaffected and remained inside the building.  The solo hiker then left the area and planned to camp at Lizzie lake. Information was obtained 3rd hand through an in-reach device to a friend who was put in contact with the Conservation Officer Service. The bear may have accessed food in the cabin left from previous hikers.</small>
:;<small>2016 October 4th - [[User:Ghill031|George Hill]]</small>: <small>After a VOC work hike and the BC Government helping to clean up the trail, it is now completely clear and a beginner friendly trail. Work still needs to be done on the roof of the Hut, the floor of the Hut and the safety of the new one log bridge.</small>
:;<small>2010 July 27th - [[User:Pforysinski|Piotr Forysinski]]</small>: <small>A VOC party visited it in the summer of 2010 after spending a day brushing out the access road.  See for details [[2010 July 24-25 Lizzie Creek Cabin Workhike]]</small>

:;<small>2016 December 26th - [[user:ghill031|George Hill]]</small>: <small>Hut was very very quiet (we were the only ones there). Hut is in excellent shape with firewood and solar lighting.</small>
:;<small>2011 July 4th - [[user:Lommer|Lommer]]</small>:<small>Party of three skinned in the winter route. The bridge over Cerise Creek was no longer snow-covered and was under water, requiring wet feet. Snow is melting rapidly up near the hut, and the higher portion of the winter trail along the creek will soon be difficult to navigate due to melting snow bridges.</small>
:;<small>2009 July 10th - [[user:Lommer|Lommer]]</small>: <small>Party of 5 went in on Friday and out on Saturday. Halfway between the first and second bridges right near the parking area on the Duffey Lake Road there was some flagging that said the "second bridge" was out or unpassable at high water, and a note to follow a new flagging route up through the forest. Not sure if the "second bridge" was referring to the one immediately after the flagging or to the larger bridge much further up on the logging road segment before the old trailhead. Regardless, both bridges were perfectly serviceable and we crossed them with no difficulty whatsoever (for details see [[Talk:Keith's Hut|talk]]). Hut was clean, some snow patches remaining around the glacier, great time was had...</small>
:;<small>2009 June 27th - [[user:Bramvs|Bram Van Straaten]]</small>:<small>A BCMC party flagged a new route on the west side of Cerise Creek. Follow flagging on the right, a bit after the first bridge over Cayoosh Creek (right after the parking lot on Hwy 99). See [http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31433 ClubTread] for more details.</small>
:;<small>2009 June 4th - [[user:Lommer|Lommer]]</small>:<small>Took the newly flagged route up, about 1hr to the summer trailhead on the Cerise FSR. On the way back we waded Cerise creek (almost crotch high water) at the Cerise FSR and took the east side trail back. The latter option is much faster (~30mins), but you'll get wet feet.</small>

:;<small>2017 March 3rd - Brett Logan</small>: <small>Slept in the A-frame one this past Saturday and it was super cozy. There are some old foam mattresses and rusty nails and the door doesn't seal but with three of us inside it was super warm. Always windy in that area so shelters are free of snow. </small>
:;<small>2015 April 22nd - Steve Grant</small>: <small>The huts are in good condition, and seem to be getting little use. The west side of Sentinel Bay is now open water. It is possible to get ashore off the lake on the east side, but you have to navigate around the open creek outflow and the usual wet area along the fringe of the lake. One hot day will spell the end of adequate conditions. Nice beach at the east end of the bay. There's so little snow that approaching the hut once off the lake requires some dodging around or taking the skis off. The Sentinel Bay area of Lake Garibaldi melts out first, and conditions are marginal now for skiing. I'd advise against trying it with snowshoes. Despite that, everywhere on the lake I tried to dig a hole to get water, I ran into a hard thick layer of ice that could not be penetrated with an aluminum shovel.</small>
:;<small>2011 March 27th - [[user:Camshaft]]</small>:  <small>Hut location 10 U 500456 5527329 -Larger hut, with smaller sleeping areas has broken window, snow building on bunks -smaller hut, with larger sleeping areas is ok, small snow drifts inside from leaks in walls</small>
