Coverage is excellent with all runs open, so make sure you come up again before our next clinic on Wednesday, March 1st

 

Also, we had the privilege in welcoming 4 NEW seniors to our STARS program. Most of their comments were “can’t wait till next week”. And we can't wait to have you back too.

The weather will be cold 28-30 degrees with a chance of light snow flurries with no accumulation, so make sure you dress warm and have your goggles. 
 
We will have another great day for our 6th clinic of the season.

Tip of the Day
Ski as if you’re wearing only your boots
Want to ski centered and always ready for your next turn? Ski as if you’re only wearing your boots. This mental exercise keeps you balanced right over the middle of your skis, ready for anything the hills throw at you.

 

Ski u Wednesday,

Tip of the Day-How to become a more advanced skier

Avoid too much extension at the beginning of the turn. If you're too upright, you risk losing contact with the snow. Stay lower and focus on moving from one foot to the other.

Thank You STARS

 Thank You STARS:

 

Senior STARS had plenty of sunshine and snow today in our 3rd clinic of the season. 
We had 68 Seniors take part in our lessons and we all had a fabulous time.

 

We had 9 NEW Seniors that added to our group today and from their comments they really were impressed with their instructor and our program. 

 

With the snow we received Sunday into Monday night and low temps the snow was magical. Seniors really enjoyed groom runs but I know some were skiing and riding off-piste and having a good time too.

 

This week and next week are ideal temperatures to make snow so with our excellent snowmakers we will have ideal conditions next Wednesday, 2/8.

 

Make sure you buy your ticket and lesson before Tuesday as we sold out Tuesday at 1:00pm.
