Monday Update Clinic-15 spots left

  

Hello STARS,

 

Greetings for the Monday update on our 4th Clinic within the STARS Program. We're in for delightful weather in Southern California this Wednesday – expect sunshine and crisp air with Santa Ana winds. It's the perfect setting for skiing and riding at Mountain High. 

Please ensure punctuality – our lessons kick off promptly at 9:30 am. To make the most of your lesson time, be here for check-in and equipment collection. Instructors will be navigating the mountain starting at 9:30 am, so early arrival is crucial.

 

For STARS lessons, New Seniors will gather in front of the Bullwheel Grill at 8:30 am, complete a liability form, and show ID to confirm their age over 50. This is a one-time requirement for the season. Some Seniors haven't completed this process; kindly do so on Wednesday.

 

To register and purchase online, follow this link: 

https://shop.mthigh.com/senior-stars

Check-in at the Winter Sports Center (WSC) is at the Top of the Bullwheel Express Magic Carpet. This is where you can get your Rentals and Lift Tickets. Plan to arrive early as the process might take up to 30 minutes. WSC Check-In Area opens at 8 am.

 

Wednesday's weather forecast predicts sunshine with temperatures in the low 50s, promising another excellent day for our 4th clinic of the season. Wednesday night we expect snow so the following week will have fantastic conditions.

 

We still have available slots for Wednesday, so if you plan to attend the clinic, secure your lesson and lift ticket online as soon as possible.

 

Ski you on Wednesday!

Thank You STARS

 Hello STARS,

 
A wise individual once said, "If You Build It, they will Come." Our STARS have once again proven this true, with 52 seniors attending our 3rd STARS Clinic of the season.
 
Thanks to improved snow conditions this weekend, courtesy of Mother Nature and our fantastic snowmakers, we anticipate excellent coverage for our clinic next Wednesday.
 
Today, we welcomed 12 new seniors into our STARS Family, and our snowboarding community saw growth with 6 enthusiasts exploring the mountain.
 
Blessed with cloudy weather, the dropping temperatures at night and a possibility of snow this weekend might pave the way for another great Senior STARS clinic on Wednesday, January 31st.
 
To ensure the continued growth of our program, we invite you to share one thing to glow on and one thing to grow on. Your input is invaluable! Just email your thoughts!
 
Enjoy our group photo from today .
 
In conclusion, as evident from today's success, if you build a great program, seniors will come! Thank you, STARS, for a fabulous day! Looking forward to many more.
 
Ski u later,

Thank You STARS

  Hi STARS, 

All I can say about today is “WOW”! What a day we had today! Cloudy skis, temperature in the mid 40’s, snow was excellent and 67 Seniors took part in our 2nd STARS clinic of the season. 

 

After check in, and a few announcements were made, we welcomed 9 new Seniors to the STARS program, and then I went over the reservation protocol and STARS liability sign off, and car pooling on Snowy days. 

 

We were sold out again and this makes the 2nd week in a row. We had an issue with some being late but was due to the traffic getting off the 138 and the light taking a long time to change. Hopefully this issue will be resolved by Caltrans. Please arrive around 8:15-8:45 am so you can check in, get your rentals and get with your instructor.

 

At 9:30 am we hit the snow and took our group photo, thanks to  Carries Pirner. STARS photo is attached to this email.

 

If you need any ski or snowboard equipment give Steve Crane  or Chris a call and make an appointment at (818) 225-7669. Let Steve know I sent you and you are in the Senior Program at Mountain High and you will receive a 10-15% discount on items.  Bring a copy of this email with you. Take a look at the Atomic skis and boots there too, as they are fantastic!

 

His address is:
Sports LTD 
22642 Ventura Blvd
Woodland Hills CA 91364

 

Next STARS clinic is January 24, 2024.

 

More information on our Senior Program can be found 

 

 

 

Please buy online by Saturday so you will have a spot in next week’s clinic. 
 
Ski u Wednesday,

Thank You STARS

 Hello STARS,

What an incredible start to our 15th year of the STARS Program! Today, we welcomed 70 enthusiastic seniors to our meeting spot in front of the Bullwheel Grill. It was fantastic introducing our instructors and sharing a few words from Vice President CFO Michele Roy. 
 
At 9:30 am, we captured our STARS moment with a group photo before splitting into ski and snowboard groups, hitting the slopes to make the most of the amazing weather and snow conditions. The positive feedback from both seniors and instructors was truly heartwarming. With great snow coverage and the possibility of making even more later this week, our season is off to an incredible start.
 
We were privileged to meet some wonderful new faces joining our program. A big thank you to all the seniors who joined us today. I have a strong feeling that this season will be one for the books. Looking forward to seeing everyone on January 17th!
 
Due to the overwhelming registrations last week, we sold out Sunday morningt. If you haven't already, please make sure to secure your spot online as soon as possible. We've already had 60 seniors purchase their spots online for today's session. 
 
Remember, without a reservation, I can't guarantee a spot for you at the STARS clinic if you decide to walk up.
 
Attached, you'll find our group photo and a link to our Senior Program STARS Blog: http://seniorprogramstars.blogspot.com
 
Carpool- I have a request from Roxanne Cherry from Orange County. Her email is roxannecherry@gmail.com. If you live in OC you can save gas by carpool.

Ski you later,
