MCBC Mountain Lake Hut
Location: Located 200 m northwest of the western outlet of Mountain Lake, on a ridge which divides a creek to the south from the big drop to Utopia Lake on the north. (0 km W of Mountain Lake). (9 km E of Britannia Beach). (1 km SW of Mount Sheer).
Access: Hut can be reached either via a trail from Utopia Lake, or from Cyrtina Creek (Furry Creek drainage). The Britannica approach was popular in the 1970's and 1980's, because you could drive up the road from Britannia Beach. However the Britannia Creek FSR is gated and the upper reaches destroyed by a catastrophic dam-burst or covered with alder, this approach is long. Instead, the Furry creek side is becoming increasingly popular. From the Furry creek side and Cyrtina Creek, there is a well groomed trail as of 2004. Furry Creek Main is currently in good shape to Km 10.5 (Cyrtina Creek). See Wind Lake Route.
Description: The Mountain Lake Hut is a small, arched-construction wooden shelter. There is no stove in the hut. It has a small upper loft which sleeps 4 in luxury. Downstairs there are two large 4x8 plywood tables. There are screened windows in both ends.
From the hut, one can reach the summit of Mount Sheer in 1.5 hours. The south sides of Sky Pilot and Ledge can be reached by traversing a ridge from Mount Sheer. Ben Lomond and Red Mountain lie to the east across lake-studded heather meadows and granitic ridges. Although parties have reached Ben Lomond and Red Mountain from the hut, there is a very steep little traverse below some cliffs that would not be advised in unstable snow conditions. An alternate route is to drop all the way down to Omar Lake (1284m) and then go south back up to the col just west of Ben Lomond.
History: Built in 1970 by BC Mountaineering Club. The club is actively maintaining the hut and performs some trail work. It requests non-members contribute towards the maintenance. A fee of $8 per night is suggested. Alternatively, donate some labour improving the access by clearing brush and moving rocks off the approach road.
The hut was repainted and repaired in 2003.
Bulletins
2006.02.20 Robin Tivy Hut amost buried
The hut was almost buried, with snow over the roof almost level with the hut. Access was only possible because a 2 m deep wind cirque around the front of the cabin revealed the top of the door. It took about an hour of digging thru several layers of hard snow to get to the bottom of the door. It is not possible to enter the cabin via the windows due to the new screens installed on them. Once the door was cleared it was necessary to gently pry open the door from the top using an ice axe. We also didn't immediately find the hut since we expected it might be visible from the end of the lake. I measured the coordinates of the hut with my GPS to be at NAD27 493839-5495397, which translates into 49:36.8-123:05.1. Previous lat-long was 49:36.7-123:05.1). In any event, you have to ski about 200m west of the lake and over a small hump before you see the hut.
