Terms & Conditions

Cancellation Policy

Reservations cancelled 31 days or more prior to arrival date will receive an 80% refund to the original form of payment. Reservations cancelled between 30 days and 11 days prior to arrival date will receive a 50% refund to the original form of payment. Reservations cancelled 10 days or fewer prior to arrival date are not eligible for a refund.

We understand that weather conditions, trip difficulty, or unexpected changes in plans can affect hut trips. However, as is standard in our industry, we’re unable to offer additional refunds based on these factors. Because our huts are located in the backcountry and in alpine terrain, conditions can affect guests differently depending on comfort, experience, fitness level, trip goals, etc. To be as fair as possible to both our guests and to Summit Huts, we rely on our established cancellation policy for all bookings.

You may cancel individual beds in your reservation by calling our office. For example, if you have 10 beds reserved you can call and cancel just two beds and retain eight.

Check In / Check Out

The check in time is 2:00pm on your day of arrival. Check out is 11:00am on the day of your departure. Guests must remove all of their items from the cabin, decks and hut area (200ft) by 11:00am. For example, do not leave packs and gear on the deck to go ski after you have checked out. Please leave those items in the woods away from the cabin.

Multi-Party Occupancy

Our cabins may be booked by multiple parties. You may be sharing the cabin, kitchen, bathrooms, sauna and bedrooms with other groups. Guests work out sleeping configurations – beds are not assigned. Each cabin has separate Hutmasters Quarters that may also be occupied. Even if you have booked the entire cabin a Hutmaster may be onsite.

Registered Guests

Cabin occupancy is for registered guests only. Maximum occupancy cannot be exceeded. Every person in the cabin must book a bed including infants and children, regardless of age.

Children ages 15 and under receive a 50% discount and do not pay the Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area Fee (Janet’s Cabin). Please contact our office for information.

Dogs and Other Animals

Dogs and other animals are not permitted within 200’ of the cabin. Service animals are evaluated on a case by case basis and must follow our strict guidelines. You must contact Summit Huts directly for authorization to bring a service animal and we will provide you the required paperwork.

Quiet Hours

To respect other guests, quiet hours are from 10:00pm to 6:00am.

Outside Fires

Outside fires are not permitted at any cabin in any season. Fires may only be burned in the cabin wood stoves and sauna wood stoves. No exceptions.

Snow Forts and Structures

The building of snow forts, structures, and sculptures is permitted. Anything built must be deconstructed before check out. It is your responsibility and you are required to take these down.

Trash and Other Items

Guests must pack out all of their trash and any other items brought in. Do not leave condiments, food, games or any other items you brought in. If you brought it in, you need to take it out.
