The untracked powder
of the backcountry has drawn winter travelers to the
high country ever since the first hearty souls strapped
a pair of wooden boards to their feet. The clean air,
endless vistas and much-needed solitude are a welcome
refuge from the rigors of day-to-day life. To thoroughly
enjoy all the backcountry has to offer, there is perhaps
no better way than from the rustic yet cozy confines
of a hut or yurt. Sure, it can be a lot of work, but
that first taste of virgin snow or a well-earned homemade
meal at 10,000 feet makes it all worth while.
