Beaver Creek Yurt
The Beaver Creek Yurt is available for reservation by LNSA members. The yurt is located approximately 1 mile into the the Beaver Creek Ski Area (see map below) and is accessible by skis only. Please see below for guidelines and reservation instructions.
Reservation Guidelines:
You must be a Lander Nordic Ski Association member to reserve the Yurt.
Reservations are placed on a first come, first served basis.
Folks staying overnight should be cleaned up and out of the yurt by 10:30 am the following morning (to allow day-users in).
Yurt users need to access by skis only! Trails are ski trails, please no bikes, walking, snow shoes, or dogs during the winter grooming season.
Those reserving the yurt for day use should be cleaned up and out by 2:30 pm on their reserved day (to allow overnighters in).
Drop-in day use welcome if the yurt is not already reserved. Please respect parties with reservations.
See Yurt calendar below for availability. Usually an open date on the calendar indicates availability, but be aware that the date may have filled since the calendar was last updated.
For reservation request, please fill out the form below.
Stove use
Firewood is provided and an axe and splitting maul are located inside.
Open sliding damper (bottom of front door) when lighting, slightly close front door until burning well then adjust the damper.
Make sure personal items are not too close when drying.
Fire extinguisher is located inside yurt.
Please resupply the split wood inside the yurt for the next user.
Please make sure fire is out when leaving.
Cleaning
Please pick up trash and sweep the floor.
Leave no extra perishable food at the yurt.
No dogs at the yurt or on the trails…but we do love the little critters.
Toilet
Do not dispose of other garbage in the vault.
Be sure to latch door securely on outside after you’re done. The wind catches it and blows it open and damages the door. Once that door is toast, you’ll be al fresco….
What’s a Yurt?
A Yurt is a portable structure much like those used by nomadic tribes in Mongolia over 2000 years ago. The domed structure sits on wood floor to create an efficient shelter that is environmentally friendly.
Yurting is NOT Glamping. The Beaver Creek Yurt is minimally stocked with a wood burning stove, several camp chairs, and lots of wood. There is no running water, electricity, bunks, or air conditioning. You must bring your own water (although snow is available for boil), Coleman cannisters, bedding (sleeping bags, pillows, sleeping pad), and lighting. We try to keep toilet paper stocked, but it’s recommended to bring your own, as well as fire starting (newspaper, fire starting sticks).
