Rising from the flames, the new Coyote Yurts!
We Did It!! Less than two months after the Beaver Creek Fire incinerated the Coyote Yurts, we have built a beautiful new Coyote. Two yurts connected by a covered breezeway, new sauna and outhouse are ready for backcountry travelers.
Just in time for the snow
This situation was extreme. There was the worry and anticipation of a major wild fire burning around three of our huts. The confirmation that Coyote was gone was rough. On our first visit to where the yurts were, the fire was still burning and the shock of the impact of the fire on a place we know and love was heavy. But it was the recognition that it is all OK. These mountains and forest depend on fire. We can rebuild, the skiing will be phenomenal and the burned forest will bloom again soon. It will just take hard work, some money and time.
In a two week push and cold snowy weather broken by spectacular blue sky days we built the new Coyote yurts. This effort truly took a village to realize, and THANK YOU to all who helped!
The new Coyote is a unique and beautiful hut and we hope it is enjoyed by many in the years to come!

Beautiful job. You have inspired me to build some custom counter tops and shelving in my yurt. Thanks. Check out the yurt forum some time!
What a fine looking pair of yurts! Wonderful accommodations, view, destination.

WOW! Thanks for the speedy resurrection. The floor looks so tight! Perhaps boots will not be filled with cereal in the morning from a forgetful guest, then again…. Coyote has consistently skied great over the last 15 years that we have been coming up. I am getting used to skiing the burns across Idaho. I am glad that with your hard work we will continue enjoying the area for years to come. David
This looks great! I’m so excited to hear that the rebuild went well and it looks like you had lots of helping hands. Thanks to everyone that made the effort to bring Coyote back. Can’t wait to get up there and ski some lines!
Wow, fantastic the yurts look beautiful, his awesome that so many friends helped to make it happen DNA put their heart and soul into it. Can’t wait to book a few days and check out the new terrain! Way to go you guys rock.
