Thank You STARS



HI STARS:

Our 10thand last Senior STARS Clinic was a great time for all. We had 56 Seniors take part on a cool but sunny, blue sky day. 

The snow was very good as spring conditions were great especially upper mountain and of course with all this skiing and riding our STARS were generating an appetite for our luncheon at noon.

There were 65 of us celebrating a fabulous season at our luncheon sponsored by Food and Beverage Department.  Thanks Mike, April and STAFF!

What is really amazing this is the 10th year of our program and we are averaging 59 Seniors each week. Just think where we will be after next year, 70?

We welcomed 6 NEW seniors to the STARS program today and I asked the instructors to make sure they ski and ride them a lot. Guess what, they did!!

A BIG THANK YOU to all the STARS and Instructors celebrating another successful STARS Program, I am very proud to be a part of this wonderful team.

Special THANK YOU to LAURI WARREN for the delicious cake she supplied for the luncheon. Also, to Tom and Roxy Bradley for the special gifts for some of their instructors and me too!! All of you are appreciated!!

Ski u January 8, 2020,

Bill

Monday Update

Hi STARS:
This is your Monday Update for our last STARS Clinic of the season. I can’t believe it has been 12 weeks since we began. on January 9th but Wednesday will be our last clinic for this 2019 season.

Just think, it’s only 9 more months and we will begin our 11th season for the Senior Program STARS.

We will have spring skiing on Wednesday and the temperature should be in the mid 50’s and mostly cloudy. The coverage is great with 24-36 inches of base.

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 2020 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. 

Please let me know by tonight if possible.

Ski u Wednesday,

Bill

STARS Clinic March 20, 2019

Hi STARS,
Cooler day today with temps in the high 30’s but we had plenty of snow for the 45 Seniors that participated in the next to last clinic of the season.

Yes, next Wednesday, March 27th will be our last STARS clinic for this winter season. We had 8 NEW Seniors that participated in our program today and their comments were all positive.

Next Wednesday, March 27th we will have our final clinic of the season. We will be having a luncheon after our STARS clinic around 12:10 pm. The cost for the luncheon will be $5.00. I know Food and Beverage will be putting on a great spread with a Mexican theme so all I need you to do is RSVP by this Monday morning. By Monday I will have a good idea how many Seniors will be skiing and riding on our last day.

What a season it has been! With unlimited amounts of natural snow, conditions were excellent all season. Snowmaking and our Groomers always kept skiing and riding conditions above the standard. They both did an outstanding job!

Attached is our group photo from today and you can see all the other photos from our clinic at
