Happy New Yurt 2012!

My 4th adventure bring in the New Year - YURT STYLE

2011-2012 Yurt Clan: Marissa, Erin, Sarah, Dustin, Valery, Jared, Natalie, Craig, & Jen
(Leanne, Brian & Ben not pictured)

The weather could not have been better!
We started celebrating the New Year at 11:00pm dancing, throwing confetti, and eating goodies.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... 12:00AM MIDNIGHT

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

After staying up until 1:30AM we woke up around 8am ready for another great day in the Uinta Mountains. We slept nice and comfy thanks to Dustin - he kept the stove stoked.
What better way to bring in the new year - XC skiing!


Each yurt year a snow sculpture is created. The theme this year was Hawaiian and Jared had the vision of the Easter Island Tiki. The snow was so dry we had to use the environment for the extra features.

Trying the 80s family pose. Classic head tilt, posed hands, and smirks;-)

Great post. Love the photos - except the one where I look like Mr. Magoo :-) What an epic trip.
