FROG LAKE BACKCOUNTRY SKIING
We are excited to welcome you to Frog Lake backcountry huts. We have been a part of the Truckee Donner Land Trust’s buildout of these amazing brand new huts, at 7600 feet in one of the snowiest spots in the western hemisphere. This European-type backcountry hut adventure near Castle Peak just north of Donner Summit offers some of the very best skiing right out your door, including steep chutes, gentle glades, and open bowls. The huts (finished summer 2021) have hot & cold water, flush toilets, gas heat, electricity, huge windows, and common space. You’ll have a private room, and enjoy meals cooked by your guide in the Main House, a 100 year old stone house named Eschenbach Backcountry House! There are rooms for various group sizes. We keep our guide: skier ratio at 1:4. Your private room in one of the huts has 4 bunk beds and a shared toilet. There is space for your clothes and a shared common area. Different sized cabins can accommodate up to 8 skiers or riders.
It takes about half a day to ski tour into Frog Lake from our meeting place. During your stay you’ll enjoy being guided up epic descents and great tours right out your hut door! You’ll relax after with good company, delicious food and hold or cold bevies! We can’t wait to show you this unbelievable Alps-like hut experience in Truckee.
