This is my experience as well. Have had great times in Alpine Club huts in Rogers Pass and the Columbia Ice Fields. I have been to some of the hotel like huts (never stayed in one), but they are in my experience not Alpine Club run huts. While you will find yuppies everywhere, the Alpine club huts I have accessed are geared towards the serious ski touring folks and mountaineers.
I am looking forward to exploring this area in the summer and next fall. Will reserve my judgement on the huts until I have feel for things. Does anyone know if the Alpine club has a policy on firearms?
