What to Expect:

Day 1: Whether you head to the Smith and Morehouse Yurt or the Castle Peak Yurt our team will load your gear onto our snowmobiles and we will enjoy a scenic ride 4-6 miles into one of our yurts. When we arrive we will move in and then the real fun begins! We head out for an afternoon tour to get a sense of the snow and terrain. We return to the yurt as the sun goes down, enjoy some yurt cooked dinner and get a plan for the next day.

 

Day 2: The next morning we wake up to hot coffee and breakfast and new slopes to explore. We pack lunches and head out for a full day of backcountry bliss!  We will skin from the yurt (or use snowmobiles to bump into adjacent terrain) and enjoy the endless bounty of backcountry bowls, glades, meadows and chutes. When our legs have had enough we return to the yurt where your guides have a warm fire going and apres getting served up followed by dinner. 

 

Day 3: The final day we have breakfast, pack lunches and packup. Then we ski for the remaining 2/3rds of the day and return to Park City by 4:30PM.
