Snowcat/Snowmobile Access
We snowmobile from Ymir to Wildhorse Pass. Several options from this point, depending on snow and party conditions. Either snowmobile around Wildhorse Ridge or over the ridge for a ski descent to the North Clearcut. Follow the Qua Pass trail up for Qua, or up the creek for Yurtopia. You should plan on ski touring to the Yurt and pack accordingly. You do not get dropped off at the Yurt. See the "drop off" points marked on the map for more details.

Qua Yurt
Typically from Qua we will ski Upper Clearwater, Qua Backside, Qua Lake, Hidden Qua, Qua Delights and possibly Long Qua.

Yurtopia Yurt
Typically from Yurtopia we will ski in the Playground, Inner Kututle ( Unbelievabowl ), Upper Qua and Upper Seeman.

Clearwater Yurt
This is a Yurt in progress. Approved in our Crown Land Management Plan however not constructed at this time.

Wildhorse CatSkiing
Most of the skiing on Seeman ridge (South Seeman), lower slopes of Wildhorse Peak, and south of the map around Wildhorse.Pass.

Google Earth
For a fly through of the terrain this is amazing. Download Qua .kmz file or Yurtopia .kmz file and press play for a helicopter like flight with commentary.
