The bottom line
Qua Yurt has incredible vistas and visible terrain that simply aches to be skied. Most of the terrain is immediately visible and runs can be picked off visually from the Yurt. A little more south facing terrain and more severe, exposed and unskiable terrain around Qua Lake than at Yurtopia.


Enjoying the views after a fine day of skiing.
