The interiors are simple, with built in benches, tables, sofas and beds. Most of the huts also are equipped with photovoltaic solar panels that provide electricity for a few lights. Kitchens are supplied with plenty of dishes, utensils and pots and pans. For cooking and drinking water, snow is melted in large pots. The cabins provide an experience in communal living.
Skiers share in the chores of melting snow, keeping the wood stoves burning and cleaning up.
Bedrooms have single and double beds, but are not private. You could be sharing a room with a doctor from Sweden, hippies from Boulder, or a family from Boston. Beds are stout foam pads covered with thick flannel covers-even pillows are provided. Everyone brings a sleeping bag. During the day, warm light floods the inside of the cabins, and the atmosphere is quiet.
