3. The Hut System
The system will consist of 3 alpine huts along
the 40km Spearhead Traverse between
Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The
location and proximity to each other enables
safe hut-to-hut travel in both winter and
summer.

4. Grand Opening
We did it! We are thrilled to have finally
opened the Kees and Claire Hut.
This is a huge milestone, only made possible
by an unprecedented rally of support from
the mountain community near and far.
