My partner and I spent two days at the Limber Flag Yurt for New Years Eve. It was amazing! The yurt was well stocked with fuel: firewood for wood stove, butane for lantern, and propane for large cooking stove. There was a large pot for melting snow, a smaller pot for boiling water, and a cast iron skillet that we cooked NYE prime rib in. Despite the other reviews, the stove gave us no trouble and kept the yurt warm the whole time. No smoke inside at all and we kept it burning at full force the whole time (due to 8 degree temps outside). Our plan was to do some backcountry skiing, but coverage was not ideal. There was about 12 inches of fresh powder, but no base. On our way in, we skinned up from the E McKee trailhead, which led us up steep although direct route up the NW side of the mountain. This lent to a fun/dangerous/rocky/powdery ski back down on the way out. On our full middle day, we toured up Limber Flag to assess coverage. We decided against any runs down off the ridge, but there were a few fields that were fun to ski through. Overall we had a blast and would love to go back when there is a bit more snow!

Great weekend at the Yurt. Lots of extra cooking utensils and some supplies in the hut.

Great time, good Snow. Sunny in between the storms! Broke trail in and out, luckily with good visibility . Some of the Trail markers, that were stakes in the ground, were buried under snow. The Deck had 2-3' of snow at the door (which opens in) and snow covered over the railings of the deck. Found a small pile of split wood on deck after shovel clearing. Had to dig 3' snow to get to top of main wood pile, after finding it with a probe. Decided to keep going and had 6-7' snow drifts to ground. Plenty of wood and plenty of snow burying it with no markers. Plenty of people 'marking their territory' next to or on the deck. No map of layout outside so ask support staff where the deck pile and main pile of wood is, outhouse is easy to spot at the backside of yurt. The little amount of information that's posted inside is helpful. Mattresses were comfy, most yurts that we’ve been to the mattresses are thin and need to double up to not feel the rails, didn’t need that with the sturdy bunk beds of Limber Flag. Received answers to all questions, great information, and help from rangers and other government staff when contacted. Go with what the rangers/staff tell you is plowed for parking, unless you like to shovel out. Highly recommend 4X4 over AWD if a storm is in the forecast, helped others get unstuck. Left it better than found it.

This yurt is an annual trip for our family and it is a great destination. We always go in winter and snowshoe into the area. Limber Flag mountain top is a great day hike. It’s three miles in and two of those are uphill and can be difficult in winter. Always allow enough time to get in before dark.

The yurt is in great shape and stocked well. There were no small propane bottles for the lantern, which was a bit of a bummer. There is minimal cooking utensils or pots & pans (stock pot for melting snow and a cast iron skillet). The hike in is marked well. We came in after a couple weeks of steady snow and nobody had been up in a while it seemed. We broke trail the entire way and it was pretty tough. I've done it before with packed snow. The difference is amazing.
