Milepost 45.6 is a heli-ski roadhouse in a remote mountainous region of Alaska. The heads of the structure are oriented toward prominent local peaks where inhabitants will be skiing. The building houses six bunk rooms, two owner bedrooms, a skier’s lounge, and support areas, including a ski tuning area and a small kitchen. Each room or area has its own view of the mountains. Fourteen-foot stilts, which reference the traditional trapper’s cache, raise the building above the level of snow, floods, moose and bears.
