True, but only a few of the AMC huts (Lonesome Lake, Carter, Zealand) are open in winter, and then on self-serve basis. The Randolph Mountain Club (RMC) has a high mountain hut on Adams, also self-serve. By self-serve, I mean you provide your own stove, fuel and food, and they provide a marginally heated building.
Not to seem argumentative, but ... you'd have a truly difficult time trying to ski hut-to-hut in the East. Snowshoe, yes, but ski - no.
