Ski Mountaineering in the Sawtooths

Winter in the Sawtooths is a quiet time. Snow blankets the Stanley area and accentuates the alpine look of the high peaks. Winter in the Sawtooths is a quiet time. Snow blankets the Stanley area and accentuates the alpine look of the high peaks. It's a perfect time to get out and explore the mountains. The Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho receive a good amount of moisture and our snowpack is generally deep. Few people are venturing and exploring the Sawtooth, which helps keep it a true wilderness ski destination. Lots of powder and few people is a backcountry skiers dream.

The cozy Mongolian style yurts provide you with a mountain home while exploring tours and slopes right out the door. Handcrafted in the Sawtooths, these yurts are legendary since the establishing of this alpine hut location in 1986. Built by SMG founder, Kirk Bachman and his crew of backcountry friends. Hut amenities include a large kitchen and round table to accommodate a dinner seating for ten. Wood heat and a propane cook stove make for a cheery homestyle setting. There are bunks for fourteen in the two yurts when its time to turn in for the night. Soothe your body at the end of the day in the wood fire sauna and a roll in the snow at day's end.
