Yurt
Winter camping can be as rugged or as luxurious as you wish to make it. If you lean toward a desire to be comfy, consider renting a yurt for your back country winter adventuring. Yurts are becoming more and more popular due to the comfort they provide and the relatively low expense involved in renting one, combined with the outdoor, tent-like feel.
A yurt is a domed semipermanent structure that is halfway between a cabin and a tent. Yurts can be found everywhere winter sports and camping are popular, from swank ski resorts, to family-oriented national parks, to fairly isolated back country. Most come equipped with cooking stoves, wood stoves, cooking utensils and bunks. You bring your own food, personal items and a sleeping bag. Some yurts even have optional catering available. The result is a camp-like feel with cabin-like comfort at an affordable price. Plus, yurts stay warm! To find a yurt for rent in a back country retreat near you, go to Yurts.com.
