Thanks James. "Blastproof doors"... sounds irresistable! In the meantime I found a local recycled product that may well do the trick. It's made of a steel/rigid insulation sandwich left over from the manufacture of French doors. Viewable at http://www.happyharry.com/shacks.htm - this shack costs $700 CDN ($450 US approx) including floor, two thermal windows and door, and weighs about 600 lb for the 8' x 8' size which will be suitable for a two-person operation. Inside height at the ridge is 6'9" and at the wall is 5'9". They are designed as general purpose garden or storage sheds but with a fabricated sled/ski base and hitch they will be
easily towed berhind a groomer. Floor is made of the same white gloss-painted material as the walls and looks like it would be diabolically slippery for snow-covered ski boots! Some glued-down indoor/outdoor carpet should fix that. So it looks like I'll get my mobile shack - good snow and record numbers this season, management are feeling magnanimous. Make hay while the sun shines!!! Now if I can sell the advertising space to someone and cover the cost of the hut
itself I'll be a real hero!
