Jenny, the description on the home page of the Jughandlehut Yahoo!
group tells a little bit about how the hut works (the picture is of
the hut/silo), but let me try and expand it for you. The hut and
permit are ownened and managed by Josh Rafkind, however he is managing
it as a cooperative in that other individuals are encouraged to buy
chunks of time at the hut and to volunteer to build and maintain the
facility. The specifics of nightly rental and buying a time share of
the hut can be obtained by calling (208) 859-3911. The group was
created to aid the general communication about the hut (mostly about
volunteer work so far) for any interested backcountry skiers. The hut
is located about 6 miles east of Lake Fork, Idaho on State land and
near the border of the Payette National Forest (on the west shoulder
of Jughandle Mountain). Use of the hut is not allowed without prior
arrangement with Josh Rafkind. The trail to Jughandle Hut is
approximately 2.5 miles (up) in the winter and detailed route and
location information will be available to hut users. If you have any
further questions about Jughandle Hut post a message to the group or
call Josh at 208.859.3911. Thanks for your interest,

Charlie Woodruff
