Bunkbeds
: Green Canyon Yurt has 4 new bunkbeds this year, and we hope they last and are comfortable for our
guests. The top bunk is a single, and the bottom is a double bunk that folds up into a futon sofa for comfort. Please
be careful with the mechanism workings, and make sure they are fully engaged open or closed.
7.
Shovel snow
from around the yurt and trailer entrances as much as necessary. Most problems with the shelters
occur from excessive snow around the entrances or on their roofs.
a. Use the snowrake (hanging in the juniper to the east of the yurt, with an extendable handle) to pull snow off
the roof after big dumps and be careful not to damage the roof!
b. Ensure the stovepipe is dug out to ease lighting and prevent leaks.
c. Provide a useful corridor between the yurt door and woodpile.
8.
Drinking water
: Snow used for potable water should be collected from the orange fencing exclosure NE of the yurt.
Many dogs use Green Canyon for day trips (mule deer too!) so the exclosure should keep the snow white.
9.
Grey water
(dish water, other used water) must be strained using the designated strainer and the water disposed of
along the path to the outhouse. The bits in the strainer should be burned.
10.
Outhouses
: The US Forest Service installed the vault toilet for all users, including yurters.
a. A tote with toilet paper is in the yurt for use in the outhouse.
b. DO NOT dump garbage or trash in the toilet. As you can imagine, it is very difficult to remove.
c. Ensure the outhouse is secured shut before leaving!
d. Do not urinate near the yurt or the area for gathering meltwater!
11.
Safety Items
:
a. The yurt has two fire extinguishers. Make sure you know where they are, how they operate, and how to
avoid needing to use one.
b. Carbon monoxide detector If this detector activates, open the door and get out! When the unit stops, find
out why it activated and take appropriate measures.
c. Smoke detector This detector will give false alerts due to cooking and the woodstove. Make sure to
replace the battery if it has to be removed.
12.
When leaving (checkout time is 1 PM):
a. If you plan on skiing the rest of the day of your departure, make sure the yurt is ready for the next group and
leave your packs neatly in the woodshed or a corner of the yurt.
b. Empty out all vessels of water so that they don’t freeze and crack. However, if the next group is arriving &
you talk to them, by all means let them know and leave them your leftover water.
c. Remove ALL FOOD! Mice poo and live everywhere because of leftover food!
d. Sweep up and clean out the yurt. Remove all microtrash and food particles.
e. Shut off white gas lantern and propane at the tank.
f.
Close the air intake on the woodstove. Make sure any combustible or meltable materials are away from
woodstove.
g. Ensure the outhouse and yurt are closed up and yurt locked, and wood on trailer is securely covered.
h. Please notify Powder Ridge of any issues that need attention at the yurts.
