Hi STARS: We will be at the West Resort on Wednesday since the closure of East. We received 4 inches of NEW SNOW last night so coverage is excellent. We will have blue skies and sunshine. Please RSVP if you will be attending our STARS Clinic Wednesday, January 30th at the WEST RESORT. Special thanks to all Seniors who have RSVP’d already. After you purchase your lift ticket and lesson, we will meet in the Big Pines Lodge at the West Resort. I will be checking Seniors in at 8:15 am and we will have our Indoor clinic beginning at 9:00 am. We will hit the snow at 9:30. So bring a smile and we will have a great time!! We have added a NEW communication tool for you as we have our own Facebook page. Check it out and “like” it too. https://www.facebook.com/SeniorProgramSTARS Ski ya Wednesday, Bill

Hi STARS: Just a reminder for our 4th Senior STARS clinic of this season here at Mountain High. We will probably be at the WEST RESORT this Wednesday, January 30th due to the closure of the East Resort. But we will be skiing and riding and know we will have a great time! Last week we had 49 seniors participate in our STARS Program. That means we are averaging 56 seniors each week. We are up 77% from last year! I have always been told if you “build a great program and deliver it” seniors will come. Looks like we are on the right track. Thank you to all you Seniors who make our Wednesday’s the BEST here at Mountain High Resort! IF THERE IS A CHANGE WHERE WE HOLD WEDNESDAY’S CLINIC I WILL EMAIL YOU MONDAY NIGHT! Please RSVP so we can make sure we have the right number of instructors to meet your needs. Don’t forget to check out the photos from last week and all the past weeks at http://seniorprogramstars.blogspot.com Take a look at one of our STARS groups. Ski ya Wednesday, Bill

As Seniors were talking with their instructors, we got to meet our NEW Senior STARS before we hit the chair. Enjoy your group photo. Looks like on January 30th we will have blue skies and plenty of sunshine and maybe some NEW snow. I can't wait till next Wednesday!!Don't forget to RSVP!

STARS East Resort 1/9/13

Hi STARS: Could not have been a better day today at Mountain High East Resort. Temperature was in the high 40’s and we had 63, yes 63 seniors take part in our first clinic of the season. Everyone got through registration without a hitch, we had an indoor clinic by our instructors, greeting from management and at 9:30 we hit the snow. Comments from our seniors and instructors were very positive and the use of the Discovery chair proved to be the greatest asset we have in teaching our seniors. We had great coverage and it looks like we will be receiving more snow this week. With temps dropping to record lows this weekend, this will be a great opportunity to make snow too. We had the privilege in meeting some wonderful NEW seniors to our program. Thanks to all seniors who came today. I know this is going to be a great Senior Program STARS season. Hope to see all of you on January 16th! Please do not forget to RSVP prior to our Wednesday clinic. Ski ya later, Bill
