📣 Peak Season Dates Now Available – Cass Valley & Erewhon Hut Tours
We’ve just discovered a glitch on our website that mistakenly showed some of our Cass Valley and Erewhon Hut ski and split-board tours as fully booked… when in fact, spots are still available!
These are prime dates during the peak season, so if you’ve been dreaming of a backcountry adventure in a heated private hut, now’s your chance to jump on it.
We’ve just been up at O’Leary’s Hut in the Cass Valley this past weekend, and can report that snow coverage is looking fantastic for July. There’s great skiing to be had if you know where to look — and we even managed to test out the hot tub. Nothing beats a soak under the stars after a big day in the mountains!
