One of the challenges of the backcountry huts is access to the outhouse, which is built away from the hut itself to reduce attractants for alpine critters and larger mammals such as Black Bears from the hut. In wintertime, maintaining access to the Outhouse is as important as clearing the front entrance of the Hut.
