Eleven of us really enoyed skiing and staying at Discovery Hut for a full week. The hut was well equipped and heated efficiently by propane. allthough John saw an opportunity to help support the ceiling. Most of the time the weather was overcast, but we managed two days of sun. The first day we toured from the hut up to Table Mountain which was icy and wind affected. But the trees, coated in frost were quite beuatiful.
