Monday Update!

Hi STARS:

Just a Monday Update for our 4th SENIOR PROGRAM STARS CLINIC this coming Wednesday, February 1st at the East Resort.

It's going to be a beautiful on Wednesday with sunny skies and mild temps in the mid 50s so remember to wear your sunscreen. These warm temps won't last long though. More snow is possible Thursday into Friday so looks like we are in a nice weather pattern for snow to support our Senior STARS clinics.

Plan to get at East Resort by 8:00 am so you can purchase your lesson and lift ticket so you will be on time for your lesson.  There will only a limited amount of ticket windows open on Wednesday so I would recommend you to purchase your lesson and lift ticket online.

We will meet in the Angeles Crest Cafe at 8:15 am and hit the snow for our group photo at 9:30 am sharp!!

Snow coverage is still FANTASTIC! We will have another corduroy filled day this WEDNESDAY!  

Please RSVP ASAP for our clinic even if you buy your lesson online!

Ski u Wednesday,

Bill

STARS Clinic 1-25-17

We have a NEW record of Seniors attending the STARS Clinic. 82 Seniors participated in our 3rd Clinic of the season. Yes 82 of them had some powder and some groom runs at 8,200 feet at the East Resort. With all these Seniors skiing and snowboarding I believe we tamed the Beast today.

At 9:00 am we welcome about 10 New Seniors to our team and also had a clinic on Physical Fitness for Seniors by George Meyers! Around 9:30 we went outside and took our group photo and then hit the high speed chair.

The snow was fantastic as we had just received over 4 feet this past week and we had another bluebird day with plenty of sunshine.

Make sure you go to our Senior blog to get all other photos that were taken today too.

We also shared with you our 3 New instructors too. Snow conditions will improve by the weekend and next week we will be ripping up the snow.


Thanks gain for showing up and those Seniors who purchased online  you will be able to carry over your purchases to next week. Enjoy our photo!!
