Yurt at Yurtopia


Built on the shores of a high alpine lake at 6,100 feet. The atmosphere is tranquil with tall trees in the meadow enhancing the quiet. The steep skiing is just 30 minutes away! Incredible protected powder stashes, long north facing bowl runs and once again great skiing right out the door.

The bottom line
Yurtopia has more terrain that is protected from the wind and sun. Absolutely tons of skiiable terain. Every slope is worth skiing. The steepest and biggest lines require more searching to find however there are just as many as Qua. The tranquility of the location combined with the wealth of quality powder makes Yurtopia the subtle winner.
