| Greetings! |
Attracting thousands of outdoor gear buyers and guides from all over the world, the Outdoor Retailer Show has been described as an "REI flagship store on steroids" by The Dirty Avacodo Adventure Team blog. We'll be right in the heart of it this week providing a warming hut yurt for Dynafit Ski Boots during OR's Backcountry Base Camp demo day at Snowbasin Ski Resort.
As a pro deal at The Outdoor Retailer Show we're offering a meaty 7% discount to all outdoor gear retailers and outdoor guides. Just so you don't have to pull out your calculator, that's about $1,000 off on a 30' yurt. For a very limited time you can get this same 7% off pro deal even if you are more of a couch potato than a skiing, climbing, running, kayaking maniac. Just place your order between 1/19 and 02/02.
Check out our Online Specials for details on the discount.
The 16' yurt that we are setting up as a warming hut will be available at this 7% discount as soon as we get back to the shop. Call 800.288.3190 or see our Online Specials for specs on the yurt. |
| YURTCATION - a yurt for pleasure and profit |
|
Todd Smith, 30 year old Special Events Coordinator at REI in Southern California, has a 24' yurt about 45 minutes south of Moab, Utah. When he's not using the yurt for his own pleasure he turns a little profit by renting it out to other adventure seekers. With slickrock mountain biking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing and ancient ruin exploration nearby, it's not hard to see why this would be a popular destination. Located less than an hour and a half from outdoor playgrounds like Canyonlands, Mexican Hat, Valley of the Gods and Telluride Ski Resort, the yurt makes a great base camp for outdoor enthusiasts.
Outfitted with a 30 watt solar panel, a kitchen, a shower and a composting toilet the yurt provides a unique retreat after a hard day of play. Plug in the ipod, fire up the two burner stove and create a gourmet meal with all the pots, pans and utensils provided. Then turn on the lights and pull out the maps to plan your next day's adventure.
If this sounds like your kind of getaway, check out more details, pricing and contact information at www.yurtcation.com. Todd also has some great platform and yurt building photos posted on his Yurt Time! online slideshow.
