Additional information to make your yurt celebration easy and fun.  

WHAT'S A YURT?

A Yurt is a round dome shaped tent.  At Crystal Ridge, ours is heated. The Yurt is located steps away from the top of our Snow Tubing hill. The Yurt is a delightful space to host a party.

WHEN SHOULD WE ARRIVE FOR OUR Party RESERVATION?

We ask that the host arrive 20 minutes early to park and check-in at the ticket window prior to your reservation time. You will be able to get the tickets with completed waivers. You will not be able to access the yurt more than 15 minutes before the rental time. If you or your party shows up late for your reservation, we unfortunately cannot extend the length of your rental. The Tickets and YURT space are for 2 hours total. At the end of your reservation it is likely another group is coming next, so please depart the party space swiftly.

CAN I BRING IN OUTSIDE FOOD AND DRINKS TO THE YURT?

Yes! You are welcome to bring in your own outside cookies, cupcakes or birthday treats and light party snacks in the yurt!  Bringing your party guests bottled water is also super welcome. 

When booking party reservation, it is possible to add on Pizza or drinks.  If you selected this option this will be delivered to the Party about 50 minutes after your start time. The guests can swing back into the yurt sing Happy Birthday, have a quick snack and snow tube a bit more!

A few steps away, there’s a full bar. Just walk down the sidewalk, enter the closest lodge door, and buy a drink. You can even purchase a Spotted Cow from the window on the patio near snow tubing. You are welcome to bring bar drinks back over to enjoy in the yurt. Bringing in Alcohol to the premises is strictly against WI Liquor Licensing.  Sneaking in alcohol makes your group subject to leave before your reservation end time. 

If you did not purchase food at booking but would like to you may visit the cafe, it is recommended to swing by to order that at the start of the party, so that it's able to be delivered and enjoyed before the party end time. The lodge has our café! Swing by to purchase a hot pretzel (yum!), cheese curds or other great snacks.  

TICKETS & WAIVERS

Please forward the link in this email to other participants to complete their waivers. It will be easiest for you if you know what email address they use to complete the waiver. For an additional $25 per ticket you can fill out a form without the release of liability. Each person snow tubing needs a ticket.  If an adult is just waiting in the yurt during the party, they do not need a ticket.

THE YURT IS HEATED! HOW SHOULD I DRESS?

This unique space is outfitted with a pellet stove. If you need to adjust the heat in the yurt please ASK Crystal Ridge Staff.

------Do not touch the pellet stove. -Seriously. - It is HOT-----

However, most of the party is outside, in the snow.  Please come dressed in clothes for outside: including a hat, gloves, snow boots and a few layers of clothing that you can adjust to your own individual comfort level. Heck, bring a snuggly blanket if you'd like!  

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE’RE MESSY!?

The yurt is inspected and cleaned after every party. Please dispose of garbage in the provided trash cans.  If excessive cleaning is required, you will be charged a cleaning fee.  Though unlikely, should any evidence of damage be found after your visit, a fee will be charged. 

IS SMOKING OR VAPING ALLOWED IN THE YURT?

Absolutely not. It is prohibited by Wisconsin law. Any guest found smoking or vaping will be asked to leave immediately along with their entire party, with no refund granted. Open flames, also not allowed.

ARE PETS ALLOWED at the Hill?

Unfortunately, no.

Enjoy the yurt and snow!

We're delighted you've chosen to celebrate with us!
