Welcome Notes
Welcome! We hope there’s lots of snow and you have a great time in your ski house this winter. To help acquaint you with practices that will make life more carefree and comfortable, the following is a summary of how best to heat the house, close it when you leave and some basic information.
Heating
The house is heated by gas heating units in each of the fireplaces. There are also thermostats and backup electric heat units in every room. It’s possible to keep costs down by heating only the bedrooms you are using during your stay. Always keep all material (sheets, curtains, bedclothes, etc. away from all electrical heating elements!
Property Management
We have contracted with Mr. Arnie F. Hansson (422-3834) for property management service. He will check in on the building throughout the season to check on the heating, plumbing etc. Hopefully this will help head off problems.
Hot Water
The hot water is also heated electrically. The system has its own “off-peak” electric meter. This means that the electric company gives us a big discount on the electric bill but disconnects the hot water heater (only) for about 2 hours each morning and evening during peak electrical demand.
Sewer
This building, as all others in the area, uses a septic tank system since there is no
town sewer system. Septic systems do not handle large, bulk waste well - so please use trash cans for food waste and other personal items. Cooking grease and other food products needs to be placed in a receptacle and disposed of in the trash. Following these suggestions will insure a trouble-free winter without the expense and inconvenience of calling a plumber to clear the system.Fire Place
Each fireplace has a built in self-contained gas-heating unit. The control thermostats are mounted on the wall (upstairs - to the right of the front door / downstairs on staircase wall across from bunk beds).
