Hey STARS,
STARS Program has finished for the season!—kind of like life, right? We had many seniors join us for some fun in the snow, and I’m happy to report that everyone had an absolute blast. Plus, we gained 30 new seniors who, based on their feedback, are now convinced that we’re not just instructors, but actual magicians. Seriously, they were that impressed with the program.
A huge shoutout to every Senior who’s dedicated their time and energy to the season’s activities. You guys are the heart and soul of these weekly shenanigans at Mountain High. Your passion is like the caffeine that keeps this program going. I mean, you’ve been with us since the very start of the season—showing up week after week like true snow warriors. Your loyalty and enthusiasm are truly inspiring.
As we are wrapping up 16 glorious years of the program, I’ve been doing a little reflecting (don’t worry, no deep thoughts, just a quick pat on the back). From where I stand, it’s been a fantastic ride, and we’re planning on making next year even better—if that’s possible. But here’s the deal: I need YOUR feedback. Please shoot me an email with one thing you think we absolutely *crushed* (Positive) and one thing that could use a little TLC (Improvement). Your thoughts will help us make next year’s program so amazing that even our skis or snowboards will be jealous.
Now, I have to give a massive thank you to our instructors who’ve been absolutely *rockstars* this season. These guys (and gals) have been juggling changes and challenges like pros—seriously, they might as well be in a circus. I’m lucky to work with such a stellar team every Wednesday. Huge thanks to Chris, Allan, Richard, Mike, Pat, David, Brenda, Linda, Shane, Vitaliy, and Greg, You guys make magic happen.
Let’s not forget the incredible management team who’s been backing this program for 16 years. Without you, we’d just be a bunch of seniors on skis and snowboards with no direction. A big thank you to Karl, Michele, John, and Ben for always keeping the lights on (literally and figuratively).
And finally, let’s give a well-deserved round of applause to Caleb Lee, our Winter Sports Center Director. Caleb’s been working behind the scenes like the wizard he is, making sure our WSC is top-notch and supporting the STARS Program in ways that deserve a standing ovation.
Until we meet again on January 7, 2026, when we’ll all pretend to remember how to ski and snowboard after a long break...
Ski u later!
Bill
