A housekeeper will clean after your stay, but we do appreciate it if you could take some simple steps upon departure:

• Trash. All trash must be removed from the premises and taken to the Base Camp dumpster prior to your departure. The trash and garbage dumpster is located on Iron Horse Way, between the entrance to the Base Camp cul-de-sac and Breeze at Ski Depot. Walk down the Base Camp 490 driveway, turn left and walk toward the entrance of the cul-de-sac. Continue walking past the cul-de-sac toward Iron Horse Condos and the Ski Broker rental shop. The dumpster is inside a wooden trash enclosure on the left. Please be sure to use the bear bars to discourage the local dumpster-diving wildlife neighbors.
• Recycling. Unfortunately Base Camp does not have a recycling program. Winter Park has a community trash and recycling center located at 440 GCR 72 in Fraser. Single stream recycling is available at no charge, however trash is a pay-as-you-throw system.
  Do not leave any perishables in the refrigerator.
• Please put dirty dishes in the dishwasher and start it at least 2 hours before you leave.
• Please start a load of towels to help housekeepers get started.

• Make sure the back door is locked (lift the handle and turn the lock).
• Make sure the front door is locked.

• Children should never be left unattended in the unit. Please use extreme caution with children around the stairs, bath tubs, toilets, balconies, fireplaces and hot tub.
• Hot tubs are relaxing and enjoyable, but are not safe for children. Adults should use common sense when using these amenities. If you have a medical condition, please consult a physician before using the hot tub.
• Never leave cash or valuables unattended in the unit or in your car. Be sure to lock all doors and windows to protect our belongings and yours. Never leave the condo without locking up.
• Please remember that you are renting a privately owned home. Please use it with respect. Do respect your neighbors by keeping noise to a minimum after 9 pm and before 8 am.
• Please wrap, store and refrigerate all foods and drink for cleanliness purposes.
• Please conserve electricity and gas. Turn off lights and fireplaces when not in use.
• Skis, boards, and poles are NOT allowed in the condo. They must be stored in the ski racks in the garage. Boots can be stowed in the trays in the front entryway.
• The house and surrounding property are completely non-smoking.
• No pets allowed. The owners are allergic to animals.
• Neither management nor the owners of the house and HOA can be held responsible for lost or stolen items or any injuries that may occur.

• Take time to acclimate at lower elevations before heading to the high country.
• Drink lots of water (dehydration occurs quickly at high elevations).
• Avoid alcohol for the first few days.
• Eat foods high in carbohydrates.
• Take it easy the first few days.

If you still encounter symptoms of high altitude sickness, such as headaches, nausea, or
dizziness, seek medical attention and go down to lower elevation for several days to acclimate.

• To change the temperature, press “Temp” once to display the current set temperature (it will flash), then press “Temp” additional times to increase (or decrease) the set temperature. To change the temperature adjustment direction (from increase to decrease), pause 5 seconds between pressing “Temp,” then push “Temp” again to desired temperature. After 3 seconds, the LCD will again display the current spa water temperature.
• Rinsing off before soaking in the hot tub reduces the likelihood of contaminants like lotions, oils, and beauty products from creating build-up in the spa.
• Replace the hot tub cover when not in use.
• Do not leave children unattended in the hot tub. Be sure they do not play on top of the cover.
• Contact management with any hot tub questions or problems.

The house is heated by radiant floor heating. Housekeeping will usually set the temperature of each thermostat to 65 degrees. Feel free to increase or decrease as you wish. Keep in mind that radiant floor heating takes longer to warm the room than traditional heating systems. We figure it takes about one hour to heat per degree.

When you manually change the kitchen’s thermostat, the system goes into a Hold mode. To return back to the preprogrammed temp, press OK. Here’s the user manual. 

Please leave the garage thermostat at 50.

Base Camp 490 has a washer and dryer on both the upper level and lower levels. In order to ensure the washers function properly, please DO NOT change the washer cycle setting. The setting should be left as they are found when you arrive. The washers are finicky and changing the settings may cause the washer to shut off completely. After using the washers, please be sure to turn off the power button on both the washer and dryer. No light should be on when you are finished.

• The living room fireplace is operated by an on/off switch located on the wall on the left side of the fireplace. Sometimes it takes two tries to turn it on.
• The kitchen fireplace is controlled by the black remote found on the mantle. It may take a few seconds for the flames to come on after the ON button has been pressed.
• The master bedroom fireplace is controlled by an on/off switch on the wall just to the left of the fireplace.
