Has anyone been? Looks like a great time:

A hut that makes you meals and serves alcohol?? Yes please.

Just want to get some details from anyone that has gone before--what to expect, what to bring, accessible terrain, etc..

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I was there early March. Highly recommend it. Hike in took us through the morning and hike out was a 15 min joy ride. Terrain and snow were pretty awesome despite the lack of snow in CO. Food is great, but you do have to buy your own alcohol there. Cabin usually has ~15 or so people rotating in and out throughout the time you stay so be prepared to make some friends!

Sounds great! Thanks for the info. Any idea when the snow will be gone up there?

No idea. Might be worth a call to the Opus Hut guys. They would know best.
