12 of our Favorite Backcountry Ski Huts

Life is good when your backyard is the backcountry, which is why we love winter ski huts. The solitude and the vistas—not to mention the unmatched skiing, boarding, mountaineering and snowshoeing available—are what drive us to hike and skin to these little cabins in the middle of nowhere (Also, it’s a proven fact that beer tastes 125% better when packed out to a hut). Though thousands of these hidden gems dot mountain ranges from Canada and Colorado to New Zealand and Switzerland, these are a few of our favorites.
