You are staying in a winter wonderland – so there are some “Must-Do’s”!

Winter / Winter Weather:  Be careful!!!

The plows and snow removal come at all times of day or night in a storm.

    • If you do not have the parking pass with info to call – you will be towed
  • Please be aware and move your car if a plow comes and you are in their path.
  • The walkway & deck can get icy. BE CAREFUL
    • In/after a storm, we do have a service that comes at 4+” of snow to plow and shovel the walkway (not the deck)
    • Between their visits, you may encounter snow and need to shovel the deck and or walkway. The shovel is on the deck. Go to it and enjoy the experience! 
    • It can be icy everywhere – the steps, Deck, walkway, and driveway. 
  • Store Ski’s and boards on the rack outside near the gate – or on the balcony, but NOT inside please
  • Do not force deck to walkway gate open/closed in snow—shovel and it works great!
