Ostrander ski hut is quite popular hut in Yosemite. To be able to stay in it, one has to win a lottery. We were quite lucky and won stay over the long MLK weekend. There are a few trails to get there, but all of them quite strenuous. Eight of us (Jeannette, Chris, Josh, Joe, Grant, Alan, Eric and I) started at 9 am on Saturday morning, most of us owned or rented skis, and for some people it was quite challenging to go about 10 miles on them with heavy backpack. Only Grant went back for snowshoes though. We arrived between 4 - 5 pm, quite exhausted. The next day we took it easy, Jeannette and Josh stayed at the hut, the rest of us went for short trips around. The capacity of the hut is about 25 people so we shared it with other groups and it the evening we played games, read books or just socialized. On Monday we left around 9 am, the way back was easier, since we did more downhill then the first day.

Lyzarska chata Ostrander je pomerne popularni chata v Yosemitech. Aby clovek dostal reservaci, musi vyhrat loterii. My jsme meli to stesti, ze jsme vyhrali reservaci na prodlouzeny vikend Martina Luthera Kinga. K chate vede nekolik cest, ale vsechny jsou pomerne narocne. Osm nas (Jeannette, Chris, Josh, Joe, Grant, Alan, Eric and ja) vyrazilo v sobotu v 9 rano, vetsina z nas mela nebo si pujcila lyze. Pro nektere lidi to bylo docela narocne zdolat 16 km na lyzich s tezkym batohem. Jen Grant se ale vratil pro sneznice. Na chatu jsme prisli mezi 4 a 5 odpoledne, docela vycerpani. Nasledujici den jsme meli odpocinkovy, Jeannette a Josh zustali na chate, zbytek nas vyrazilo na kratke vylety v okoli chaty. Kapacita chaty je asi 25 lidi a tak jsme ji zdileli s dalsimi skupinami a vecer jsme hrali hry, cetli knizky a nebo si jen tak povidali. V pondeli jsme vyrazili zpet kolem 9 hodiny, cesta zpet byla jednodusi, jelikoz jsme sli vice zkopce nez prvni den.
