Aside from the sign, the bulding is silent as the companions warily approach it. There are no indications that the building has been approached in the recent past, nor that the entrance has been touched in quite some time.

It would take several minutes to clear the door to open it, but the snow doesn't seem to of been packed down to any real degree and could be easily removed by bare hand.<br/><br/>Once the door has been cleared, it's clear that the wood, while stout and made of thick oak, has been weathered for many years and the freezing temperatures has done it's job to warp the wood and the iron fittings show many years of rust and disuse... it resist  efforts to open immediately.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Anyone attempting to force the door needs to make a strength check.
