A group of renters informed us that Chicago deep dish style pizza is a breeze to cook up at our huts and yurts. Here is how:
Coat a large skillet with olive oil
Open two pre-made Pillsbury pizza dough canisters and spread equally around the skillet.
Add sauce, cheese, and toppings
Place the skillet on the pot belly stove and cover with a lid.
Allow to “bake” for 5-10 minutes checking both the crust and cheese.
Slide the pizza out of the skillet, slice it up, and enjoy!
The boys at Juan Grande Productions have been renting out our Pioneer Yurt for a few years. Here is a crazy fun video they put together and posted on Youtube:
A group of SVT employees and friends, led by ring leader, Joe St Onge, remodeled the Boulder yurt in the early part of October. Bunks were shuffled to create more room and many features added or changed, All new are the: stove, kitchen counter and shelf, dining table, book and game shelves/storage, a two person couch (decked out with leather pillows no less), shelves for top bunks in addition to retaining bars and ladders to help the little yurters. A new shell and roof were put on and around the large yurt! The most noticeable change is that the shell now offers two east facing windows! The added natural light is amazing. We are calling this Phase One as adding a Goal Zero solar system to power interior lights and small speakers are going to happen very soon! This most definitely turned out to be a fun experience for the SVT employees, who relished the completion of the detailed project! Once we are back, we should conduct an employee engagement survey (something similar to this – https://www.qualtrics.com/experience-management/employee/employee-engagement-survey/) to learn more about their work experience and time at Boulder Yurt!
It should also be mentioned that at an overnight detailing session by the St Onge and Wolfrom family, a fun event happened. Finn lost his first tooth while brushing his teeth. Upon spitting into the slop bucket, Finn not only spat out his toothpaste, but his tooth too! It was looked for, however, the tooth was never found. Still, the Tooth Fairy was very kind and paid up even though Finn only had a note in place of the traditional offering. As he kept saying, “I really lost my tooth!”
Teaching children about the Tooth Fairy is a fabulous way to encourage children to take a proactive approach to maintaining their oral health. Talking about the Tooth Fairy can also make trips to a Dentist in Brentwood or a dentist in your area seem less daunting for a young child.

In early September, Joe led a group of professional mountain bikers on a rippin tour of the trails in our area. Based primarily out of our Coyote yurt which lies high in the Smoky Mountains of Central Idaho, Aaron Chase, Mark Weir, Ryan Thibault, and Dave Smootok were some of the boys whose fat tires floated through the summer silt. By the end of the trip, these guys were stoked to know first hand what Coyote has to offer! Here are some images Joe captured followed by a few Ryan was generous enough to let us post.
Coyote Yurt is what’s happenin’! Early this Summer, Joe and friends renovated both the large and small yurt with highlights including a new kitchen and a Goal Zero solar system which runs lights and a speaker for iPod type music players. The firepit was also rebuilt and is large enough to keep a baker’s dozen warm and cozy while roasting smores.
Nights are still available if you’d like to experience the easy summer livin’ offered at Idaho’s highest lodging venue. We can set up all sorts of amenities for you as well: catered meals, guided hikes or mountain bike rides, and bike shuttles to name a few! Give us a ring to get started.
Our newest employee, Craig Wolfrom, was up in the Sawtooth Mountains these past few days with a few of our guides and interns to capture some images of the great spring skiing accessible from our Bench Hut. Here are some of the images he captured. We still have availability and the snow is fantastic. Give us a call if you are interested in a Sawtooth trip!
Craig caught a glimpse of the participants skiing our Sawtooth Monolith Expedition:
The annual Pioneer woodcut happened last week in perfect conditions. Snow for 5 days straight, little wind and an awesome team made for an amazing couple of days. Big trees were dropped, big saws were spinning, big muscles moved bigger logs, big powder lines were skied, big fires were lit and BIG FUN was had by all!
Up in the Smoky Mountains just North of Ketchum, Joe St.Onge and Sara Lundy joined a group of dudes and one woman from the North skiing lots of fresh powder around the Coyote Yurt. It snowed all week covering every track! Too much fun!
Joe St.Onge guided a group of great skiers visiting from their home near the Wasatch this week. They stayed at the new Bench Hut in the Sawtooth Mountains. Strong lungs and legs took the team up into the alpine, skiing into the Monolith Basin one day followed by a circumnavigation of Mount Heyburn, including a descent of the Iliad Couloir, and an exploration into the Land of the Lotus Eaters. A good time was had by all, entranced by the magic of the Sawtooth and a half foot of Idaho’s white gold!
Robin Carleton and 13 friends just returned from an “amazing adventure” up at our Fishhook Yurt in the Sawtooths. Check out the post and some sweet images from there trip here.
