Reiminder STARS Clinic-2/4/26

Hi STARS,

Just a friendly reminder about our 3rd Senior STARS Clinic coming up on Wednesday, February 4th at the WEST RESORT!

The forecast is looking fantastic — temperatures in the low 50s, 18–20 inches of snow, and very good conditions overall. With possible additional snowmaking next week, Wednesday is shaping up to be a great day to get out and enjoy the mountain.

Know a senior 50 and older who loves to ski or ride? We’re always happy to welcome new faces! Please have them email me so I can add them to our STARS contact list. That way, they’ll receive all important updates, event reminders, and program information.

A quick reminder that ski group assignments are flexible. If you feel like picking up the pace, we can move you to a faster group. Prefer a more relaxed pace? Just let your instructor or me know — we want everyone to have the best experience possible.

If you’re in need of new equipment, feel free to reach out to 

Steve Crane at Sports LTD in Woodland Hills.
STARS members receive a 10–15% discount — just mention the program and bring a copy of this email.

Thank You STARS

 Hi STARS,

A wise man once said, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, our STARS definitely came through again, with a great turnout for our 2nd STARS Clinic of the season — proof that a good program (and good snow) attract4 good people!

Thanks to our fabulous snowmaking crew, snow conditions improved nicely over the weekend, giving us excellent coverage for today’s clinic. Our skiers and snowboarders wasted no time, cruising all over the mountain and showing once again that age is just a number… usually followed by a smile.

We were excited to welcome new seniors into the STARS family, and Mother Nature cooperated perfectly with blue skies, sunshine, and just enough cool air to keep things comfortable. With nighttime temperatures dropping and possible snowmaking this weekend, we’re shaping up for another great Senior STARS clinic on Wednesday, February 4th.

Help us keep the program growing by spreading the word to your family and friends about our 50-and-better STARS program — the more, the merrier!

So yes… if you build a great program, Seniors will come.
Thank you, STARS, for another fabulous day. Looking forward to many more!

Ski you later,
Bill

Monday Update -1/28 STARS Clinic

 Hello STARS:

Here’s your Monday update for our 2nd Senior Clinic happening Wednesday, January 28th at the West Resort—and yes, the mountain understood the assignment.

Snow conditions are excellent with 15–18 inches of snow and beautifully groomed runs thanks to snowmaking the last few nights. Translation: fresh corduroy as far as the eye can see—bring your carving legs (and maybe bragging rights).

New Seniors: Please meet in front of the Bullwheel Grill at 8:30am. You’ll need to sign a liability form and show ID to prove you’re 50+ (don’t worry—we promise not to do the math out loud).

Online registration and purchase is available here:
👉 https://shop.mthigh.com/senior-stars
Please arrive early to check in at the Winter Sports Center located at the top of the Bullwheel Express Magic Carpet.

Weather looks fantastic—sunny skies and temps in the low 40s, which is pretty much senior-clinic perfection.

Good news: We still have openings! Just be sure to purchase your lesson and lift ticket by midnight tonight.

Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday—fresh snow, fresh smiles, and plenty of fun ahead.

Ski U Wednesday,

Bill ⛷️😄

Reminder STARS Clinic 1-28-26

 Good Afternoon STARS ☀️⛷️,

Thank You STARS

 Hi STARS,

What a fantastic first day of the STARS Program! We were thrilled to welcome 26 seniors as we kicked off our 17th season—what an amazing way to start the year.

Everyone arrived at our meeting spot in front of the Bullwheel Grill, where we introduced our instructors and I shared a few thoughts about the upcoming clinics. Our Senior Vice President, CMA, CFO  Michele Roy also joined us and spoke about the strength of our program, noting how large and successful it is compared to similar programs across the country. At 9:30 a.m., we gathered for our STARS group photo, then split into ski and snowboard groups and headed out to enjoy the snow.

The feedback from both seniors and instructors was extremely positive, and the weather and snow conditions couldn’t have been better. Coverage was very good, and it looks like we may even be able to make more snow later this week.

We were also happy to welcome several new seniors to the program—welcome aboard! A big thank-you to everyone who joined us. I have a great feeling this is going to be an outstanding Senior STARS season, and I hope to see you all back on January 28th.

A quick reminder to please purchase online as early as possible. We cut off sales on Monday night at midnight for the weeks clinic, and walk-up availability cannot be guaranteed without an advance reservation.

I’ve attached our group photo and included the link to our Senior Program STARS Blog  and Facebook here:

Lastly, please pray for snow!

STARS Update

 Hi STARS,

Just a friendly update to let you know that our Senior STARS Clinic scheduled for Wednesday, January 14th has been cancelled.

Right now, the open terrain is primarily beginner to intermediate, with coverage consisting of a 12 inch base of fresh, machine-made snow. Conditions are improving each day, but we want to be sure there is enough suitable terrain so everyone can ski and ride comfortably, confidently, and safely.

The good news? We’re excited to kick off our first STARS clinic of the season on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, as soon as additional terrain opens and is appropriate for all of our Senior STARS participants. Things are definitely moving in the right direction!

I’ll send everyone another update on Wednesday with the latest information on mountain conditions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We’re truly looking forward to getting back on the mountain together very soon and sharing some great turns!

Hope to ski you soon,

Bill
