Just a Monday Update for our 4th SENIOR PROGRAM STARS CLINIC this coming Wednesday, January 30th at the West Resort. 
 
It's going to be a beautiful on Wednesday with sunny skies and mild temps in the low 50s so remember to wear your sunscreen. These warm temps won't last long though as more snow is possible Friday into Saturday so looks like we are in a nice weather pattern for snow to support our Senior STARS clinics.

We will meet in the Big Pines Lodge at 8:15 am and hit the snow for our group photo at 9:30 am sharp!!
 
Snow coverage is still very good even with this warm weather.! We will have another corduroy filled day this WEDNESDAY!

STARS Clinic 1/23/19

Hi STARS-
We don’t have a NEW record of Seniors attending the STARS Clinic but 61 Seniors participated in our 3rd Clinic of the season. Yes 61 of them had some groom runs at 8,100 feet at the West Resort. With all these Seniors skiing and snowboarding I believe we had the run of the mountain.

At 9:00 am we welcome about 10 New Seniors to our team and also had a clinic on “How to put your ski boots on by Ron Parody! We also introduced a new snowboarder instructor to our team which was Kolby Smith. Snowboarders loved him and he did a great job working with our STARS!  THANKS KOLBY! Around 9:30 we went outside and took our group photo and then hit the chair.

The snow was fantastic as we have 16- 30 inches of snow and we have been making snow for the past tree days.We had another bluebird day with plenty of sunshine and many smiles came off the snow for lunch at noon.

Thank You STARS

STARS:
What a day we had today for our 2nd STARS Clinic at Mountain HighWe started the morning by checking in all the seniors for the clinic, welcoming our NEW 5 Seniors to the program and had some general announcements and got into our groups and then hit the snow.

At 9:30 we went outside and took our group photo and began our clinic. As I visited all groups this morning there was lots fun going on during the lesson. 
The snow was soft and comments from instructors and STARS said, "it was like we are cutting through butter”. 

Today was a very good day and it started out with all the roads were open and clear. We did not receive any snow this morning so it was a very easy drive to the resort. We had 20 Senior STARS cancel in the past 24 hours but that was ok, as 24 STARS participated in our 2nd clinic of the season.

If you need your boots fitted there is a NEW place in Costa Mesa called, OC Snowsports  2306 Newport Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 9262 (949)229-6629
Call OC Snowsports and ask for Joe Holt. He will give you A+ service. 

Thanks for another GREAT day! Check out all the photos on our Senior Program STARS Blog:

Thank You STARS

Hi STARS: 
Could not have been a better day today at Mountain High West Resort. Temperature was in the mid 40’s and we had 53, yes 53 seniors take part in our first clinic of the season. Everyone got through registration without a hitch, we updated all of you on how we can grow our program, introductions of our instructors and at 9:30 we hit the snow.
Comments from our seniors and instructors were very positive and the weather and snow was our greatest asset today. We had great coverage and it looks like we will be able to make snow later on in the week. 
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. 
Looking forward to see all of you on January 16th! 
Please do not forget to RSVP prior to our Wednesday clinic. 

Ski u Wednesday,
Bill
