Are snowmobiles allowed to access the Alfred A. Braun Huts?

The Braun Huts strongly discourages the use of snowmobiles to access our huts. The hut system was created for non-motorized travel and snowmobile use detracts from this unique experience. While most huts are on US Forest Service land which permits diverse recreational uses, each hut is surrounded by a non-motorized envelope prohibiting snowmobiles. Most of these boundaries restrict access around each hut from 1/8 to 1/2 mile, with some huts having larger zones. Snowmobiles are also not allowed in Wilderness Areas or on private land without permission.

Depending on motorized support can be risky. Routes may become impassable for snowmobiles in deep, untracked snow, and steep sidehills sometimes covered in avalanche debris. Please note that if a single snowmobile track leads to a hut, other snowmobilers may follow it, causing annoyance to hut users long after the original machines have gone. RELY ON A SNOWMOBILE TO GET YOURSELF OR YOUR EQUIPMENT TO A HUT.

Thank you!
