STARS Update #2

 STARS UPDATE!!

 

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful weather! Take it in while you can—before long, you might be back on the slopes enjoying the cold weather and fresh snow at Mountain High. Snowmaking tests are already underway, so it looks like skiing and riding could start up soon!

 

As the season approaches, it's a great time to dust off your skis or snowboard and get them tuned. A quick check on your bindings at a ski shop is a good idea too. Your safety is our top priority, and we want you to have the best experience out there.

 

We're excited to kick off the 16th year of the Senior Program STARS! Mark your calendars: our first clinic is set for January 8, 2025.

 

If you're 75 or older, don’t forget you qualify for a free season pass! You can apply online at 

https://www.mthigh.com/site/tickets-and-groups/season-passes/season-passes.html

Sign up before the season opens to have your pass mailed, or pick it up at the VIP window once we’re open.

 

For those planning to ski or ride regularly, now’s the time to consider a season pass. The price is currently $599 until October 31st!

 

I’ll be in touch with more updates in a couple of weeks.

 

Until then…

 

Ski you later,

 

Bill

Welcome Back STARS -16th Year

 Welcome Back, STARS!

 

I hope this message finds you healthy, safe, and excited for the upcoming STARS Program this season!

 

It’s that time of year again—time to dust off your skis or snowboard and get them tuned up for what promises to be another fantastic season. We're thrilled to be kicking off the 16th year of the Senior STARS Program!

 

Mt. High is aiming to open by late November, though we’ll have to wait and see what Mother Nature has in store. Keep an eye out for a late November start, and we’re anticipating great conditions this year. Trust me, the STARS Program will be as fun and rewarding as ever—I guarantee it!

 

Our team of Senior Certified Instructors is eager to get started and can’t wait to work with you. Be sure to mark your calendars for the first day of our STARS clinics on January 8, 2025.

 

If you’re planning to hit the slopes regularly, consider purchasing a season pass soon. Right now, it’s priced at $599 until October 31st. If you’re 75 or older, it’s just $10—a fantastic deal!

Thank You STARS for Outstanding Season

 Hi STARS,

Today, Senior STARS experienced sunshine and a few clouds during our 10th clinic of the season. We were delighted to have 41 seniors join us for lessons, and everyone had a fantastic time. Additionally, we welcomed 5 new seniors to our group, and based on their feedback, they were thoroughly impressed with their instructor and our program.

 

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every Senior who dedicated their time and effort to participate in this season's activities. Your commitment and passion do not go unnoticed, both by our instructors and myself. It is your presence that fuels our weekly gatherings here at Mountain High, and for that, we are immensely grateful. Many of you have been with us since the inception of the season, which speaks volumes about your loyalty and enthusiasm.

 

As we approach the completion of 15 remarkable years of the program, I reflect on the journey with great pride. From our perspective, it has been a truly fantastic program, and our aim is to enhance it even further in the coming year. I kindly request each of you to take a moment and email me one thing you believe we excel at (Positive) and one aspect we can work on (Improve). Your insights will be invaluable in shaping the goals and direction of next year's program. Without your input, we cannot fully develop and evolve the program to meet your needs.

 

I also want to express my personal gratitude to our exceptional instructors who have shown incredible dedication throughout this season, adapting to numerous changes to ensure the success of our program. Working alongside this outstanding team every Wednesday has been a pleasure, and their commitment is what enables us to cater to the individual requirements of our Seniors. A special thanks to Chris, Allan, Richard, Dave, George, Brenda, Jeff, Danny, Linda, Shane, Vitaliy, Greg, and our subs Josh and Pat.

 

I must acknowledge the unwavering support of our management, without which the STARS Program would not have thrived for 15 years. Thank you, Karl, Michele, John, and Ben, for providing the resources and backing necessary for the program's success.

 

Lastly, I want to extend my appreciation to Caleb Lee, our Winter Sports Center Director, whose tireless efforts have contributed significantly to making our WSC the best it can be. His total support behind the STARS Program has not gone unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for it.

 

Until January 8, 2025… Ski u later,

 

Bill
