Hello, I'm trying to find some backcountry huts to rent this winter for some hut trips. Does anybody have any recommendations ? Ripple ridge is full for the year already, ideas in the area. Hiking in or access via snowmobile works. Thanks in advance for any insight.
Pocatello has yurts and two have great skiing and compared to private they are cheap. My fav is on the backside of Pebble Creek ski area and has some fabulous skiing. Sleep 6 but 2-4 is more comfy, 3 bunk beds and cooking gear w/wood stove. Best part they have great El Nino winters.
Unfortunately, other than the Caribou Mountain Lodge and a couple private huts there aren't many options in North Idaho. Here's a couple nearby that do reservations:
I'd love to go back to Yurtski with my own sled rather than being towed in 8 miles. Fun spot with generally good snowpack and lots of variety of terrain.
Not sure if it is still rented out, but there is a lookout cabin on Sex Pk sled accessible, give Cabinet Ranger District a call to find out. ID/ MT border.
Yes, we were on an ATV ride past there yesterday and it was closed. Lots of downed trees out there.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for people to cut out roads and trails. Some may not be passable to snowmobiles until the snow gets very deep.
