How to use a humidifier

The crisp, cold temps in Mammoth make for some amazing days on the hill. But the cold, dry weather and altitude can cause sleepless nights, head congestion, dry eyes as our bodies evaporate moisture from our lungs and skin. Running a humidifier while you sleep can ease these symptoms, which is why we provide humidifiers in each of our homes. We offer serveral different brands, but they all work in a similar way. Here's a quick how-to.

Move the humidifier to a bathroom or kitchen countertop. Make sure the humidifier is unplugged and lift out the reservior. Unscrew the base cap.

Fill the reservoir, preferably using filtered water (from the fridge or a filtered tap).

---

Lift off the motor compartment to expose the filter. 

Place the filter in a sink and soak the filter so that it is wet.

---

Replace filter, motor housing, and water reservoir. Dry all external parts of the humidifier and make sure that the plug is still dry.

Place the humidifier on a non-wood surface and plug in. Turn on. Don't see any humidity? Totally normal. As long as you hear the fan running, you're good to go.
