• Beds will be assigned for the season, first to full shares then to half shares (on their share only).

• The layout of beds is:
• Upstairs MBR: 1 King, 1 Single (sleeps 2-3)
• Upstairs BR1: 1 Double, 1 Twin Bunkbed (sleeps 3-4)
• Upstairs BR2: 1 Twin Bunkbed (sleeps 2)

• Please request space for guests 1-2 weeks in advance, especially on holiday weekends!
• Half share members can freely swap any weekend for the weekend before or after. To add an additional weekened, though, they will pay the guest rate.

• If budget permits... We may provide pillows, sheets, and blankets for all the beds, enough towels for everyone (please try to use just 1 per weekend), and associated weekly linens/laundry service. Please strip beds and leave all laundry in the laundry room at the end of the weekend.
• If not... Then everyone needs to bring their own sheets and towel. Take them home to clean. The washer/dryer at the house are for wet clothing etc. people leave at the house.
• The house can get chilly. If you need extra blankets you are encouraged to bring them.

Top

• Weekly cleaning service is included in the share price. We ask that everyone help make the job as little a burden as possible for cleaning staff – this will keep our costs down.
• Please bag all trash before leaving.  Bags are in the kitchen pantry closet and garbage should be left for pick up in the outside closet opposite the front door as you exit.
• We do recycle!  Recycled items will be brought to Rutland or Whitehall drops.
• Also, please wash your dishes at the end of the weekend .

• Certain non-food staples such as hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, dish detergent etc. will be purchased using Ski Haus funds.  (Need reimbursement?  See Tom.)
• Food items may be kept at the Ski Haus.  Practice common courtesy – separate and/or label items if you don’t want them to be shared, and don’t just help yourself to others' food uninvited.  Please discard all perishable food items at the end of each weekend!
• Water quality at the house is great. Bottled water is enviromentally bad.

Top

• There are ample closets and dresser space in each of the bedrooms, and a closet in the entry foyer.
• Please feel free to leave your ski clothes, linens, boots, etc. in these closets. Leave closet/dresser space for others for when you're not at the Haus.

• Please keep the bedroom closet doors closed. The bedrooms will stay warmer!
• The fireplaces are available for our use, but please do not leave them unattended!

• Plenty of parking spots are available at the Ski Haus.  Just don’t block the garage or the apartment in the back.  The driveway will be plowed regularly, but does get icy.  4WD and AWD vehicles, winter tires are recommended first   Some pushers a second.
