Avalanche Alternate Route

 If the snow conditions up in the Aetna slide chute look concerning to you, an alternate route can be taken to the south, around the bottom of the chute in the trees.  Please check the avalanche report before you go to help with your decision-making.  The report can be found by clicking here.  The slide zone is on a south/southwest aspect.  The location of the Hut is in the Swatch Range and has a south/southwest aspect.  Upcoming weather can be found by clicking here.  Snow conditions are best found by checking the Monarch snow report – only a few miles away from the hut as the crow flies – by clicking here.
