Hi STARS:
With 6 inches of dry powder that fell on Tuesday, we had a fabulous day making sure we made a lot of tracks on the new snow. With beautiful blue skies and sunshine we could not have asked for a better day. But it is going to get better by the end of the week. We expect 8-10 inches of new snow, so next Wednesday, March 7th should be fantastic.
47 Seniors took part today for our 4th clinic of the season. We introduced 3 new seniors today and talked about getting your bindings check at least every season.
At 9:30 we went out on the snow took our photo and then up the chair. Lap after lap groups took to warm up and then instructors worked their magic so Seniors can utilized the new movement patterns with their skis. Just a great morning to ski and ride with 47 Seniors on almost perfect day.
Check out our group photo below and all the other photos at http://seniorprogramstars.blogspot.com
Looks like next Wednesday, March 7th will be a day you will not want to miss.
Please RSVP if you will be attending the March 7th Clinic.
Ski u later,

Thank You STARS
Hi STARS:
Great day for our 3rd STARS Clinic of the season. We had 33 Seniors skiing and riding on a cold day at Mountain High with very good snow conditions.
We introduced 3 NEW Seniors to our program and after the indoor session we hit the snow. Seniors were all smiles as winter conditions greeted our 33 Seniors today. STARS that came out and skied and rode were not disappointed.
Hopefully we will receive some new snow this week to add to the snow we have, so we can get back on track with our 50 + Seniors each clinic.
Below you will find our group photo from today and also individual photos can be found on the STARS blog
Our next clinic will be February 28th and an update on conditions will be sent out on Friday night.
Have a great rest of the week……Please RSVP ASAP!
Ski u Wednesday,
