Yurt for backcountry skiing?

[Charlie]

Hello all my name's Charlie and my family and I live in Bozeman Montana. We love the outdoors and love to camp out during all seasons. 30 years ago I lived in a yurt in driggs Idaho for a summer and have all ways wanted one since.i have been researching "shelters" for winter camping and as you would guess they all fall into similar categories. You have mountaineering tents that are "cold" you have some light weight shelters that have lightweight wood stoves or "hot tents" and you have canvas "trekking " tents that are a light weight option of a "wall tent". We actually own a seekoutside tipi shelter and we love it for trips and although it is big and comfortable compared to a mountaineer ing tent, latly ive wanted something more substantial. So here's my plan, I want to horse back a small yurt into the backcountry in the fall and prepare a rudimentary site. Ie- no decking or permanent site amenities. I was thinking of building the frame and storing the canvas in water tight gear boxes so that we could ski in and assemble the yurt for weekends or extended stays during the winter. We can haul quit a bit on pull sleds but not a full yurt package.we do not snowmobile we ski or snowshoe. My questions are will a camping yurt be up to the task? Would a lightweight yurt cope with alpine weather? Of course I realize it could not be left unattended with snow loads. I wish it could but after some research i don't want a yurt with 2×6 rafters. But could a goyurt or a camping yurt be retrofitted with extra support and lashing to handle and unexpected storm? In case I haven't been clear, the yurts I am speaking of are marketed as lightweight At least for yurts. They are single wall with 10oz canvas or sunforager and are built with portable being a selling point. They are very reasonably priced and I am a handy man so I can build /rebuild/modify anything with in reason to be stronger. Wall tents are 10oz also so I am guessing if you are there to remove snow.loads they would be fine. Another thought I had was packing away the yurt wet would be bad huh? It would be frozen upon the next arrival? I have been thinking about the portable wall tents that are 7oz and are about 35ldlbs but a small.yurt would be heaven. We all ready have a small woodstove.for sled.touring and all the other gear. I dunno what do you guys think? What would be some options to the wet canvas dilemma or are there alternative fabrics. I don't want a non breathable tent due to condensation being horrible in ones I've all ready used. Anyway just a plan now but wouldn't be difficult to do.and it would be absolutely luxurious! Thanks charlie
