Internet chatter says the Forest Service yanked the permit for Fortune Creek Huts, the commercial hut proposed at Van Epps pass.

The border to Canukastan has recently loosened and vaccinated folks may now head to the Great white north again.
The Alpine Club of Canada huts
And the UBC Varsity Outdoor Club huts
Are all pretty affordable, even the helicopter access ones
The proposed US based system sure seems spendy, especially considering the snow quality I've experienced in BC and Alberta compared to the typical "Cascade Concrete".

It will be fun to start seeing more winter trip reports from this area.

That is quite the contrast compared to the previous proposal. Van Epps Pass is on the edge of wilderness. It may have plenty of snowmobiles, but they are deep in there at that point. In contrast, De Roux Campground is very much "on the way". It seems far more likely that skiers would have a conflict with sledders there.
