To make it simple, MBA offers two options: a guided, catered backcountry experience trip, or a self-guided, self sufficient yurt rental option.
Fully Inclusive Trips
The full service backcountry trip is offered as either a three day, two night package at $500./person, ($1500. minimum for exclusive use), or a four day, three night package at $650./person, $1950 minimum. We meet at Cafe 287 in Harrison, MT for coffee and a quick logistic and safety briefing. From there we will carpool to the trailhead. After parking, a 3 mile snowmobile transport to the Bell Lake approach puts you at the base of the Bell Lake drainage with a little less than 3 mile, 1700ft skin to the yurt. After settling in with a brief camp orientation, the time is yours to explore the terrain before a gourmet dinner is served that night. Our meals are hearty and tasty, with hot breakfasts and dinners, and sack lunches for time out on the hill. We do our best to serve local meat, baked goods, and organic veggies. Vegetarians and vegan meals are available upon prior request. BYOB. Your camp host will prepare meals, do dishes, tell stories, discuss objectives, and offer ski guiding services to keep you safe and get you to the goods so you may enjoy your time and energy skiing while we take care of the rest.
The self-service yurt rental option is a great way for experienced backcountry enthusiasts to take advantage of convenient, comfortable accommodations in choice terrain.
