Built in two years with help from the railroad, it’s the second hut managed by the Alaska Mountain and Wilderness Huts Association, honoring beloved Anchorage skier Lars Spurkland. Fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and mattresses, it’s designed to make backcountry adventures more inclusive. Reservations will open once the U.S. Forest Service permits winter use. A heartfelt tribute from his family to a man who shaped Alaska’s ski culture. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
