STARS Clinics Cancelled -March 18th and 25th

 Hi STARS:

We are incredibly disappointed to suspend the STARS program this season. I have shared with you at all clinics we want you to be safe and healthy and not only your health and safety but to all our instructors as well.

Decisions like this are very hard but we need to focus now on how we use this moment to inspire our friends and neighbors to be safe and healthy too.

Some may think we are over-reacting; some may think we should have acted even sooner.  We just hope everyone understands that we are sorry for any inconvenience and we are doing the best we can in light of circumstances that were unexpected and beyond our control.


Ski you soon,

Bill

STARS Clinic- Wednesday, March 18th



Hi STARS:
Rain has moved out for today at Mountain High with temps in the mid 40’s but we will still have plenty of snow for the 10th Senior clinic on Wednesday, March 18th.
 
Yes, next Wednesday, March 18th will be our 10th clinic for this winter season. We have had over 500 Seniors that have participated in our program so far this season, and their comments have been all positive. The weather will be great as we expect to have NEW snow fall on Monday and Tuesday, so our skiing and riding will be fantastic! 
 
STARS Luncheon: 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 then have a good idea how many Seniors will be skiing and riding on March 18th.
 
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 our first clinic this season and you can see all the other photos from our clinic at 
 
 
Hope to see you next Wednesday…
 
Ski u later,

Thanks STARS

Hi STARS:

A wise man once said,"If You Build It, they will Come." Well our STARS have definitely came through again as we had 53 Seniors attend our 9th STARS Clinic of the season. 

With snow conditions being improved this week thanks to Mother Nature, and also our fabulous snowmakers, we had excellent coverage for our clinic.

We saluted 4 NEW Seniors today to our STARS Family. Our snowboarders continue to grow as 11 snowboarders came and rode all over our mountain. 

Our weather was perfect with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. With temperatures dropping at night and a possibility of some snow next week we could be looking at another fantastic Senior STARS clinic. 

I will keep you posted this Friday on any updates for our next clinic on Wednesday, March 11th.

So if you build a great program, Seniors will Come! Thank you Seniors for a fabulous day! Looking forward to many more.


Ski u later,

Bill

Then at 9:30 am we will take our group photo and we then will test the fresh corduroy.
