The Betty Bear Hut provides plenty of options for intermediate backcountry touring, but certain sections of the route to/from the hut can prove challenging for beginners.
Betty Bear Hut is a terrific destination for intermediate backcountry skiers. It's located near the Continental Divide, surrounded by a variety of terrain, and accessed via a long, snow-covered road that can be challenging for skiers with less than strong intermediate skiing skills on the ascent and descent.
Please contribute a trip report to share your experience for those who visit after you! This not only helps fellow riders, but it also helps hutkeepers ensure that the huts remain in good operating condition.
