About Hennessy Yurt

The Hennessy yurt is the newest yurt in the Idaho City system and is designed for avid backcountry skiers and snowshoers. The Hennessy yurt replaces the Whispering Pines yurt that was totally burned to the ground during the 2016 Pioneer fire. There is good snow for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing from December to late April. Because of the recent burn near the yurt there are lots of Telemark slopes nearby waiting for first descents. There are good ski slopes offering all directional aspects ranging from north slope powder to south facing corn.
