111 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Climb: Maiden Peak XC Shelter- Date of Climb: 1/14/2006 Trip Report: Just reporting on the trip in to the shelter. If you like to showshoe or XC this shelter is plush for overnight stays. Its heated by a big wood stove, well insulated, fully enclosed building and you could probably fit about 30 people in there in a pinch. I would highly suggest skiing in to this if you have a weekend. We went from Willamette Pass ski area and the hike was about 6 miles in. It took a long while because we were breaking trail in a snowstorm for about half the distance. Gear Notes: All you really need to bring to this place is a sleeping bag, food, stove and pad. If you really want to go light you can cook on the wood stove but it takes a while longer to heat stuff. Oh, and there is also the mandatory bottle of wine for any hunnies you might meet at the shelter. (tequila might be a good idea too) Approach Notes: first 3 miles are a popular day trip and there is a distinct packed trail, but after that you might be breaking trail. Dont expect anything too strenuous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cicleclimb Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sounds cool. Thanks for the tequila tip. Did you put it to use? Can you access any reasonable downhill ski terrain from there? Perhaps Willamette Pass Ski Area-ish area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
