The Pear Lake Ski Hut (also known as Pear Lake Winter Hut) was built in Sequoia National Park by the Civilian Conservation Corps during 1939-1941 using local Sierra granite and timber materials.^[2] It is an example of the National Park Service Rustic style, using rough masonry and a log roof structure.^[3]

Pear Lake Hut

The hut is located in the high Sierra east of Lodgepole, and 3/8 of a mile north of Pear Lake at 9,200 feet (2804 meters) and is reached by ascending a steep six miles of trail from Wolverton Meadow (7,200 feet).^[4] It has been said to be "one of the most environmentally successful alpine structures ever designed by the NPS".^[5]

The Pear Lake Ski Hut is open to the public in the winter between December and April and advanced reservations are required.^[6] The hut sleeps up to 10 guests, has a separate quarters upstairs for a hut keeper and is heated by a wood pellet stove. In addition to serving as a wintertime ski hut, the structure serves as a Ranger Station for the busy Pear Lake Basin during summer months.^[2]
