OFF THE BEATEN TRAIL 

When they announce the nominations later this week for most innovative Sundance party, the films Half-Life and Portland are sure to get mentioned.  Eric Singeltary of Iconoclastic Features arranged to host a party in a yurt, half way up the mountain at The Canyons ski resort. Transportation included a ride in a Snow Cat along a thin windy trail with a wonderful view of the steep slope below. The yurt, a large circular sturdy tent on a platform, came equipped with a full bar, an extensive chocolate fondue and a wood burning stove.  Robert Zimmer, producer of Half-Life and Eric even had a raffle with prizes from Adobe and The Canyons resort. Kudos for thinking outside the box.
