WTH IS A YURT

You knew what a yurt was when this episode started, right? A yurt is a portable, bent dwelling structure traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia as their home. Duh. And today, it's the home of Craig McMorris while he trains in Whistler.

The Prince of Whistler

Sean Pettit's arrival in the yurt is welcome. According to Craig, he's kind of royalty around here, and he's a very motivated individual as proven by the following line:

Time To Party....Plan

According to Craig, Sean knows how to party, so he gives him a very important task: plan a good party. You can do it, Sean!

Meanwhile in Aspen

Mark and Fergie are wrapping up a week of training at Red Bull Performance Camp when Mark takes an ugly spill. Thankfully he was OK. The silver lining of getting knocked around after a practice week is you have the freedom to just wrap it up and head to whistler for this party. I mean, more training.

Pettit Party Planning Problems

Here's the thing. Sean must have just been having a slow week. A master can't be inspired all the time. The man is human. So he spent more time getting bows and arrows and rafts than he did figuring out where the party was going to be? As we see shortly, these things will all come in handy.

Super McMorris Bros

We've seen a lot of random snowboarding spots, some messing around and some serious shredding, but watching the brothers train together and push themselves, and especially seeing Craig land a frontside double cork 1080 for the first time? Pretty awesome.

Finder’s Keepers: Bouncy Castle

We don’t know, because we’ve never owned a bouncy castle, but it seems like rule #1 of bouncy castle ownership would be – keep an eye on your bouncy castle. If you don’t keep a steady watch on your bouncy castle, it is bound to get “borrowed”.

Swim with Coco

This water was so cold it was at least “2-swear” cold. When you jump in, even the most mild-mannered person yells at least 2 swear words.

The Logging Road: First Attempt

At this point, Sean has gotten some inspiration. After a hair-raising squeeze by a huge boulder, the boys get stuck in the snowline. Obviously it’s time to call Shin.

Enter Shin

Sean’s buddy “the mountain man” knows how to come prepared. He brought some heavy machinery to the snowline to run the partiers and the supplies up the hill and to get out of Craig the best line of the episode: “We were pushin bush and that’s all we did."

It’s A Party, It's A Party, It's A Party

At the intersection of barbeque, snow and a mountaintop is a magical bouncy castle. Don’t try this at home, kids.
What will the boys get up to next time? Stay tuned to MTV Canada to watch the next episode of McMorris & McMorris, Friday 9pm EST.
