The Lindley hut was first constructed in 1953 (it later burned down and was rebuilt) as a memorial to Alfred Lindley, a prominent lawyer and sportsman from Minnesota. Lindley was a principal of the National Ski Association (forerunner of the United States Ski Association), and died in a plane crash in 1950. He was an enthusiastic promoter of alpine ski touring and mountaineering. The hut was fully renovated in 2002.
