Janet’s
Cabin

Located at timberline in the Guller Creek Drainage next to the Copper Mountain Ski Resort, Janet’s Cabin is a fine hut that attracts hikers and mountain bikers in summer, and intermediate to expert skiers in winter. The hut was completed in 1990 by the Summit Huts Association. The lovingly crafted 3,000 square foot cabin is built with 10″ Montana pine logs. Four bedrooms sleep a maximum of 20 guests in winter, and 14 in summer. If you like mountain lounging, you’ll feel at home on the large front deck.

Janet’s Cabin is dedicated to the memory of Janet Boyd Tyler, a Vail resident and avid skier who passed away in 1988. According to her eulogy, “Janet was renowned for her quick smile and readiness to constantly re-discover the joy of life. She discovered her life-long passion for skiing while attending school in New Hampshire. Early on, Janet met the challenges of the slopes, including (if the legends are true) Tuckerman Ravine in the White Mountains. She dug into all her pursuits with the same enthusiasm she gave to skiing, and she often viewed life’s challenges from a skier’s perspective. Mountain views, fresh clear air, the beckoning of trees beside the trails, but most of all a good powder morning – these were all perceptions she carried every day.” Janet’s lifetime ski pass is now buried in the foundation of Janet’s Cabin.

Hutmasters: Each cabin has a separate Hutmasters’ Quarters. Summit Huts Association’s Hutmasters and staff use these rooms regularly to service and maintain the cabins. SHA realizes that groups that book the entire cabin are seeking an experience with just their party. Please understand we may access the Hutmasters’ Quarters at any time to maintain an exceptional guest experience. All Hutmasters and staff are expected to respect the privacy of guests during their time at the cabin.
