Steam My Valentine!

A Valentine’s Fire & Ice Sauna Social
100-Minutes
Standard Pass: $40
Credit Pack Crew: 8 Credits ($32)

Winter sucks. Sauna makes it better.

This is a social, community sauna. Come with a partner, bring a date, roll in with friends, or fly solo. Either way, you’re welcome here. It’s relaxed, friendly, and zero-pressure. Last year we had plenty of HOT singles (and yes, we mean in more than one way), plus couples who came to hang and ended up making new friends too.

Each session is 100 minutes, shared with up to six other guests. Expect a wood-fired sauna in nature, curated background music, and the kind of slow-down that makes winter feel slightly less ridiculous.

If you book a later session, there’s a good chance you’ll catch a cozy, fiery glow lighting up the ice hole area like a little winter campfire scene.

PRIVATE SESSIONS?
Want to turn it into a private date night? Just book SIX seats in any listed time slot and the sauna is yours. If it’s only two of you, use four placeholder names (eg empty1, empty2, etc) to reserve the remaining seats and lock in the full sauna! [$40 x 6 seats = $240]. We have been selling out, so we recommend reserving ASAP.

How it works

The session is simple. You get 100 minutes inside our two NorthUp wood-fired saunas, bouncing between heat and optional cold-water plunges. It’s enough time for three or more relaxed hot-cold cycles, a real reset for body and brain, and space to chill out, hydrate and move at your own rhythm.

• Arrive 5–10 minutes early so you’re ready to start on time.

• Leave jewelry, watches, glasses and whatever treasure chest you’re hauling around in your car or at home. Heat is not gentle on valuables.

• Use the transition area to change. We set up private tents when the wind cooperates, plus storage totes for your gear.

• Toss your belongings in a tote and keep your water bottle on the table next to the sauna door.

• Most people begin in the sauna. A few maniacs jump straight into the lake. Choose your own adventure.

• Typical sauna rounds run 15–20 minutes, sometimes 25–30 once you’re acclimated. If it stops feeling good, step out. Pro move: take a quick rehydration break and hop right back in. It stretches the round without committing to a full cool down.

• Cool off in the lake, breathe, rehydrate and repeat until your session wraps.

• A bucket and ladle sit by the door. One scoop on the rocks every 5–10 minutes keeps the steam (löyly) rolling.

• Each sauna holds six to seven people. Change up seats as you please. The top bench fits three and runs the hottest. Lower benches fit two to three each, and once you see the layout you’ll understand why we don’t cram nine people in there.
