STARS Update- Mt High is Closed

HI STARS:

Mountain High closed today and will be closed tomorrow as well  due to inclement weather.  I am sorry that our Senior Program is finished for the season. It has been a great run for 10 weeks. I think everyone had a great time!

I want to personally THANK all the Senior Instructors for their dedication and professionalism during these past 10 weeks. You are truly professional in every sense of the word. But a BIG Thanks  to all the Seniors who participated in the 10 clinics this season. I hope you have learned a great deal and also an appreciation for Mountain High Resort .

We averaged 51 Seniors each week with a record 82 Seniors on our 3rd clinic.  This year has been a banner year. All of you are appreciated!

Both the Senior Instructors and I cannot wait till next season for our 9th year. It should be the BEST!!

Remember, we will all SKI U Later!!

Bill

Monday Update

Hi STARS:
Do you want the Bad News or the Good News? Well, lets start with the Bad News first! This  is your Monday Update for our last STARS Clinic of the season. We can’t believe it has been 11 weeks since we began but Wednesday will be our last clinic for this season. Just think, it’s only 10 more months and we will begin our 9th season for the Senior Program STARS.

Now for the Good NEWS1 We might be receiving some snow on Wednesday. We are expected to receive 2-3 inches and this will prove to help us have a great last clinic here at Mountain High. 

Following the clinic around 12:00 noon we will have our Thank You Luncheon to all Seniors and Instructor’s. This has been a great season and all of us, and we are looking forward to the 2018 Senior Program STARS.

So please RSVP ASAP for Wednesday’s clinic and Luncheon. I have had several Seniors RSVP already, and I just need the rest of you to let me know so I can have enough food for our celebration.

Ski u Wednesday,


Bill

STARS Clinic-3-15-17

Hi STARS:

You never surprise me in this program. All of you are terrific! What great conversations we had today after the clinic. A BIG THANK YOU to Ted and Angela Yang for providing some Mrs. Fields Cookies for the Instructors and Seniors that stopped by after the clinic in the Big Pines Lodge.

Our 10th Clinic of the STARS program was a great success. We had 25 Seniors take part in our clinic with 3 NEW Seniors joining in today. The snow was soft but we had a great time. Upper mountain was very good and we made first tracks on Conquest. You can't get any better than that at Mountain High.

With todays Senior count we are averaging 51 Seniors each week. It goes to show you, "If You Build It, Seniors Will Come". Yes our hats are off to all our Seniors these past 10 weeks! All of you have done a great job with all the snow conditions from powder, packed powder and spring conditions. Starting Tuesday we are on storm track for next week. Let's keep our fingers crossed and we may be getting some snow on Tuesday which will make our last clinic the BEST! You won't one to miss it!

We are also having a THANK YOU luncheon for all the Seniors on March 22nd too. Since this will be our last Senior clinic of the season we want to Thank You for attending the clinics and we hope you will be leaving with not only a better way to ski and ride but an appreciation for Mountain High Resort too.

We need all the Seniors that have been a part of our season to come next Wednesday, March 22nd. I will need to have all RSVP's by Monday as I need to give a lunch count to Food and Beverage on Monday. There will be a $5.00 charge for the Mexican tacos, rice, beans and a drink that day.

Let's all come together for our last clinic and celebration our great 8th year of the Senior Program STARS.
