As snow blankets the Colorado mountains, outdoor enthusiasts have a unique opportunity: the winter hut trip. Whether you’re a skier or a snowshoer, a hut trip offers an excellent opportunity to connect with nature while exploring the rugged beauty of the state’s wilderness and enjoying the warmth and camaraderie of a cozy mountain hut. From the towering peaks of the San Juan Mountains to the snow-covered trails in Summit County, Colorado’s winter hut trips provide an unforgettable experience for adventurers of all levels. Huts fill up fast, so check each property’s for pricing and availability. Located between Telluride and Silverton near the top of Ophir Pass in the San Juan Mountains, the Opus Hut was built for backcountry skiers, mountaineers, hikers and mountain bikers. At 11,700 feet, the hut sits at treeline with low-angle glades below and open slopes above. While intermediate powder skiing is available out the back door of the hut, owner Travis Mohrman said the terrain is best suited for experienced backcountry skiers. Mohrman estimates that 15% to 20% of the groups visiting Opus Hut do so with guides. “They’re not personally comfortable with the terrain or they’re not from the area,” Mohrman said. “They guides are knowledgeable about local conditions — what the snow is, what’s safe and what’s not safe.” The cabin accommodates up to 20 people in five rooms. Some visitors book the whole hut and bring friends and family, while others reserve available beds in unbooked rooms. The hut features solar-powered lighting and 110-volt outlets for charging electronic devices. It also has filtered drinking water, hot and cold tap water, and indoor composting toilets. It provides full bedding and clean sleeping bag liners. During winter, the hut has four to six employees who sleep in a separate cabin. They prepare meals with natural, organic, and, when possible, locally grown products. The hut accommodates vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets–just be sure to inform the staff beforehand. It also offers beer, wine, and a limited selection of spirits for purchase. “You can travel much lighter if you don’t have to bring in your food,” said Mohrman, who took over the hut three years ago. “You don’t have to focus on the upkeep of being in the backcountry.” Reservations for Opus Hut open Aug. 1. “The winter fills up quick,” Mohrman said. “Every winter weekend books in the first five minutes.” Nestled at 11,200 feet in the San Juan National Forest, Campfire Ranch Red Mountain Pass is the perfect base for exploring world-class skiing, split boarding, snowshoeing, and ice climbing. Located between Silverton and Ouray, it’s is accessible during the winter via a half-mile backcountry over-snow approach. Campfire Ranch is an ideal choice for novices. While other Colorado hut systems require you to carry your own food, bring sleeping bags, and live off-grid, this one provides food service, solar-powered electricity, Wi-Fi, and bedding. The dog-friendly cabin accommodates eight people. “We took a hospitality approach to remove barriers to entry for people who want to have the experience but don’t have the gear or the knowledge,” said Katrin Meiusi, director of marketing for the properties. Campfire Ranch first opened a campground on the Taylor River in Almont near Crested Butte. RVs are not permitted at the campground, which is open from May to October. Amenities include unlimited firewood, clean bathrooms, and drinkable well water. The 38 backcountry huts managed by the non-profit 10th Mountain Division Hut Association are connected by 350 miles of trails among some of the tallest peaks in the lower 48 states. All huts, some of which accommodate up to 17 people, have kitchens with propane burners for cooking — propane is provided. They provide pots, pans, potholders, dishware, cooking and eating utensils, a percolator or French press for coffee, salt and pepper, paper towels, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies and trash bags. Some huts have ovens and propane grills. Related Articles All huts provide lighting from on-site solar power, propane or a generator. A few huts also have outlets for charging small devices such as phones. The huts have either an outhouse or an indoor bathroom with toilet paper supplied. All huts include mattresses and pillows, but you must bring your sleeping bag and pillowcase. Summit Hut Association operates five backcountry huts open for winter from November to May. Francie’s and Janet’s cabins are also open for summer use from July to September. All huts have solar-powered lights, fully stocked kitchens, and wood-burning stoves. Francie’s, Janet’s, and Sisters’ cabins have saunas and indoor toilets. The association hosts its annual Backcountry Ball fundraiser in October at The Maggie on Peak to kick off the season. The event includes dinner, drinks, a silent auction and entertainment. Proceeds help maintain the network of backcountry cabins.Former UFC superstar Nate Diaz is eyeing his return to the ring after watching Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. Nate Diaz was one of millions around the world who tuned in for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson last weekend . While the fanfare and pre-fight hype lived up to expectations, the fight’s entertainment level disgruntled many, as Paul walked away with a unanimous decision victory. Paul eyes a potential clash with Canelo Alvarez after the decisive victory over Tyson. But, Diaz could potentially vy for a rematch with Paul after falling short against him in their boxing fight last year. After earning his first professional boxing win earlier this year, Diaz is eying a return to either the cage or Octagon heading into 2025. A potential return to the UFC is on the table after parting ways with the promotion following a win at UFC 279. Diaz, 39, remains one of combat sports’ biggest stars despite his up-and-down fighting record in recent years. A UFC comeback, particularly against a big-name opponent, would likely earn Diaz a multi-million payday. After a few days of social media silence following Paul vs. Tyson, Diaz is ready to get back in the mix in either boxing or MMA, as 2025 draws closer.

Diaz hasn’t fought since defeating former UFC foe Jorge Masvidal in their boxing clash in July. He won the fight by majority decision after a back-and-forth battle with Masvidal in the ring. Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson in his UFC finale at UFC 279 in 2022. Just weeks after submitting Ferguson, Diaz walked away from the promotion to pursue ventures outside of MMA. But, Diaz hasn’t ruled out potentially returning to the UFC, especially if the Conor McGregor trilogy is on the table. Diaz and McGregor shared one of the biggest rivalries in UFC history during their two clashes at UFC 202 and UFC 196. Diaz rose to superstardom when he tapped out McGregor on short notice at UFC 196. Before the win, he was a fan favorite but wasn’t nearly the box office attraction he became after the all-time upset victory.

McGregor, meanwhile, hasn’t fought since a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. McGregor was supposed to headline UFC 303 in his long-awaited comeback fight against Michael Chandler. But, he withdrew on weeks’ notice due to a toe injury, indefinitely postponing his return to the Octagon. Diaz and McGregor both want to finish their rivalry with a trilogy fight in the UFC. Their previous two encounters set numerous pay-per-view benchmarks, particularly their rematch at UFC 202. Diaz has plenty of options for his next fighting venture, including a potential return to the boxing ring for the Paul rematch . In the meantime, we could be just weeks away from getting more clarity on the Stockton superstar’s next move.
