      Spearhead Huts progress update

      As most of us already know, the Spearhead Traverse located just outside the boundary of Whistler-Blackcomb Resort will soon have a few new huts located along the route to accommodate skiers. The Kees and Claire Hut are already under construction and we thought you might like to see how they are progressing.

      On Sept 27th crews halted construction for this year since winter was fast approaching in the alpine.

      UPDATE: Kees and Claire Hut is set to be complete in summer 2019. Check out their apparel fundraiser for the finishing touches here. The Spearhead Society is also looking for construction volunteers and certain building supplies, as well as other forms of support.
