ANNUAL RESERVATIONS GALA

General Gala Information

What is the Reservations Gala?

The MTTA Gala is held each year in the fall to open our winter reservation calendar for the coming year. The demand for winter reservations greatly exceeds supply so we hold a Reservations Gala each fall. Its a place to get information on the huts, speak to MTTA Volunteers, and reserve a spot in one of our huts.

How Does it Work?

  • It is free to attend Gala and you do not need to purchase tickets ahead of time.
  • At Gala, participants make a $10.00 donation per ticket.
  • The tickets are drawn at random to determine the order in which reservations are made.
  • The more tickets you purchase, the better your chances of getting called.
  • We continue to draw tickets until everyone who wants a reservation has one or until closing time, whichever comes first.
  • Above procedure is subject to change.

When & Where is Gala?

Gala is held each fall (usually the beginning of November) and is normally held at a location in the Seattle/Tacoma area. When details are available they will be posted below.

A few days after the event, the online reservation system will open up. Many mid-week and off season dates will be available to reserve.

Through the winter season, we also keep a cancellation list. We do receive many cancellation requests for all the huts through the season. If you would like to be added to this list, please email reservations@skimtta.org. As cancellations are made, updates will be emailed out letting you know the dates and huts available. You will then need to go into the reservation system and make your reservation. Open spots fill up fast and are on a first come first serve basis. At this time, cancellation emails are only sent between November and March.
