Snowbird Glacier, Hanging alpine glacier in the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska, United States.

Snowbird Glacier is a hanging alpine glacier in a high bowl near the southwestern corner of the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. It lies among largely unnamed granite peaks, glaciers and canyons, in a zone of rock, ice and minimal vegetation. The American Alpine Club hut stands on a high moraine above the glacier terminus at the northeastern edge.

In 2006 the American Alpine Club obtained a permit to build a wilderness hut on the northeastern edge of the glacier, on a high moraine above the terminus. The hut, designed free of charge by RIM Architects of Anchorage, was completed in 2010 largely through volunteer labour. It replaced a "space dome" installed around 1985 that had reached the end of its usable life and has since been removed.

The Snowbird Glacier Hut, finished in 2010 on a high moraine above the glacier terminus, was designed free of charge by RIM Architects of Anchorage and built largely by volunteers. It replaced a worn "space dome" installed around 1985. The American Alpine Club asks guests to share the free, year-round shelter with consideration and to accommodate later arrivals.

Snowbird Glacier lies on the Bomber Traverse, a backcountry route linking several remote mountain huts. In summer the glacier is generally safe to cross without technical gear, though light crampons or Yaktrax improve footing. Beware of surface water and moulins, vertical shafts cut by meltwater. The free hut on the northeastern moraine can be hard to find or already full, so do not rely on it as your only shelter.

The glacier's surface is cut by moulins, vertical shafts where meltwater plunges from the surface into the ice's interior. The American Alpine Club warns visitors of all seasons to stay clear of these openings and of surface water features, since the shafts are deep and can be hidden by snow.
