When planning your ultimate backcountry ski or snowboard adventure, you have options—classic backcountry yurt trips, backcountry hut-to-hut expeditions, or a stay at Downing Mountain Lodge. While yurts and backcountry hut trips offer a rustic experience, Downing Mountain Lodge, which in itself is a large upscale log yurt, takes your backcountry getaway to the next level, blending comfort, accessibility, and unparalleled terrain for an unforgettable adventure.
Unmatched Comfort & Amenities
Yurts and backcountry huts may have a certain off-grid charm, but they often lack the creature comforts that allow you to truly relax after a long day in the mountains. At Downing Mountain Lodge, you’ll return from epic powder laps to a warm, fully equipped lodge with hot showers, a sauna, a cedar hot tub, and a cozy communal space—not just a cold yurt with minimal insulation. No need to haul in the kitchen sink or cook on a tiny camp stove; here, you have a well-stocked commercial kitchen, flushing toilets, shower, comfy bedding, foosball, and all the comforts of home.
Ski-In, Ski-Out Terrain Right at Your Doorstep
Unlike many backcountry yurt setups that requirea long, sometimes grueling approach just to get to the skiing, Downing Mountain Lodge is perched directly within prime backcountry terrain. Step outside, slap on your skins, and access 2,000 vertical feet of untracked powder without a long approach slog. Plus, you’ll avoid the logistical headaches of hut-to-hut transitions, maximizing your ski time.
Exclusive & Personalized Experience
Backcountry hut trips can be crowded, shared with strangers, and limited in flexibility. At Downing Mountain Lodge, you get a private, customizable experience, whether you’re booking the lodge for your own group or working with our guides for the best lines.
For those who want deep powder turns without sacrificing comfort, Downing Mountain Lodge is the clear choice. Skip the yurt—upgrade your adventure today!
