About Banner Ridge Yurt

The Banner Ridge yurt is ideally located for Nordic skiers and snowshoers. Over 20 miles of groomed and 50 miles of marked ski trails are 200 yards from the front door. The yurt is located just off a high ridge in a protected north-facing bowl. Looking north and down over 3000 feet in elevation you can see the South Fork of the Payette River, Bear Valley, and Scott Mountain. At 6500 feet the view of the Sawtooth Mountains is spectacular. The snow is usually powder and very deep. This yurt is a telemarker and snowboarder heaven with its long, open slopes. Thousands of feet of untracked powder are available 100 feet away. Snow is usually available from early December to mid April.
