Just ski down there and jump off something for cryin' out loud!

    Yurt skiing is one of the greatest things in the world.  Living in the relative lap of luxury miles into the backcountry.  Having huge alpine terrain out the front door of your warm, fully stocked wood fired yurt is miles ahead of the misery that is tent camping in the middle of winter.
    This year the Big Sky crew and I headed out to Bell lake for four days, and with favorable conditions in the bowls and down low got a lot of fun pillow and drop lines in, along with some bigger alpine skiing mixed in.
    This was such a rad crew to ski with that definitely pushes each other from various backgrounds, hence the tribute to the late Shane Mcconkey,

"Just ski down there and jump off something for cryin' out loud!"
