Thanks STARS

Hello STARS,

 

What a fantastic day it was on the mountain! The Senior STARS had Mountain High all to themselves, with clear blue skies and no wind in sight.

 

A total of 43 seniors joined us for our 5th clinic of the season. With 22-28 inches of fresh, smooth corduroy, everyone had a blast.

 

The coverage is excellent, and all runs are open, so be sure to come back before our next clinic on Wednesday, February 26th.

 

We also had the pleasure of welcoming 6 NEW seniors to our STARS program! Their most common response? "Can’t wait until next week!" And we can’t wait to see you again.

 

Save the date: our STARS luncheon will be on Wednesday, March 19th. Be sure to mark your calendars!

 

A quick reminder: If you had to cancel your STARS reservation for any reason, you’ll need to pick up your lift ticket at the ticket counter when you sign up for your next clinic. I had 5 seniors cancel due to illness, so those who notified me of their rescheduled clinic date will need to get their tickets at main tickets by the parking lot.

 

Lastly, don’t forget to purchase your lesson by Monday afternoon! We were close to selling out this week.

 

Ski you later!

STARS Postponed Due to Rain

 Hi STARS,

 

I hope you're doing well. Unfortunately, due to the rain today and the lack of snow, we’ve had to cancel STARS. If you’re a Senior who purchased for today, please email me with your preferred reschedule date. Most of the Seniors who attended today have already given me their new date, but if you canceled last night and didn’t make it, please let me know which date you’d like to apply your credit to.

 

We want to make sure you have the best experience, but the current weather conditions aren’t ideal for safe skiing and riding.

 

I’ll be keeping an eye on the weather and will reach out with updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

 

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

 

Ski you soon,  

Bill

mportant Update: STARS Clinic on February 5th Canceled

 

Hi STARS,

  

I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to update you on our 4th STARS clinic, originally scheduled for Wednesday, February 5th, at West Resort. 

 

Mountain High currently has 20-30 inches of snowfall, with significant rain expected Tuesday into Wednesday. After careful consideration, we've decided that asking our seniors to ski or ride in these conditions isn’t in your best interest. Your safety always comes first, so we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the clinic for February 5th.  

 

If you’ve already purchased a lesson, we’re happy to reschedule it for another STARS clinic. Just email me your preferred date, and we’ll take care of the rest.  

 

Please reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you on the slopes soon!  

 

Ski u later,  

Bill
