FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Can I bring my dog with me to the yurt?

A. Yurt users rely on clean snow to melt for water during their stay. Dogs are indiscriminate as to where they eliminate. As the song goes, "don't you eat that yellow snow!" So with that in mind please make arrangements to leave your dog at home.
