Monday Update

Hi STARS 🌟
Here’s your Monday update for our 5th SENIOR PROGRAM STARS clinic scheduled for Wednesday, February 18th at the West Resort.
Now for the exciting (and slightly dramatic) snow report…
We are looking at FANTASTIC snow coverage thanks to all this fresh powder. Unfortunately, it appears we did not dodge the incoming storm. In fact, the storm looked at us and said, “Oh yes we are here.”

Forecast for Wednesday:
❄️ 100% chance of heavy snow before 4pm
🌡 High near 35°
💨 Southwest winds 45–50 mph
🏔 Snow levels down to 3,000 feet

Translation: Great for snow globes… not so great for senior travel plans. Roads could be messy, visibility low, and while we all love adventure, we prefer the kind that ends with hot chocolate — not roadside stories.

Therefore, we are canceling Wednesday’s clinic to stay on the safe side.
The mountain will be there. So will we. And we’d like all of you there too — in one piece!

Important Reminder:
If you purchased a lesson for the canceled 2/11 or 2/18 clinics, please email me ASAP to move your lesson to another clinic day. I need a couple of days to perform my behind-the-scenes scheduling magic (which, as you know, requires coffee and concentration).
Thank you for your continued support. You truly are the brightest STARS on the mountain.

Ski you later! 🎿

Reminder STARS Clinic 2-18-26

 Hi STARS 🌟

It’s time for a friendly (and slightly energetic) reminder about our 5th SENIOR PROGRAM STARS Clinic this Wednesday, February 18th at 9:00 am at the West Resort!

Weather Report:
Cloudy skies, a chance of snow, and temperatures in the low 30s — which we officially call “refreshing.” With the NEW snow arriving Monday and Tuesday, coverage will be excellent. Yes… it’s going to look like real winter again. Break out those extra layers and those winning smiles!

I’ll share the best and most up-to-date weather conditions provided by Mt. High in Monday’s update.

Important Reminder:
If you purchased a lesson for last week’s (2/11) clinic that was canceled and haven’t emailed me yet to move your lesson to another clinic day, please do so ASAP. I need a couple of days to perform my behind-the-scenes scheduling magic.

Equipment Needs?
If you’re in need of gear this season, give Steve Crane a call at Sports LTD in Woodland Hills. Let him know you’re part of the STARS Program at Mountain High — that’s almost like flashing a VIP badge (but you still have to carry your own skis).

Sports LTD
22642 Ventura Blvd
Woodland Hills, CA 91364
818-225-7669

Call ahead and set up an appointment with Steve or Chris, and bring a copy of this email so they know you’re one of our shining STARS.

 Meeting Spot:
I’ll be at the Bullwheel Grill between 8:15 am and 8:45 am. Please arrive no later than 9:00 am so we can organize groups and make announcements. (In other words… save me from having to track you down on Chair 1.)

For more information on our Senior Program:

Please purchase your lesson before Monday at midnight to guarantee your spot. We’re planning for snow, smiles, and strong groups!


Ski you Wednesday,
Bill 🎿✨

Important Update: STARS Clinic on February 11th Was Canceled

 Hi STARS,

Well… Mother Nature has decided to host her own clinic this week — and unfortunately, it’s a wet one.

Mountain High is sitting on 18–20 inches of snow, but with significant rain expected today (Wednesday), we’ve decided that asking our amazing senior athletes to ski or ride in soggy conditions isn’t the smartest move. As much as we love your enthusiasm, water skiing is not part of the STARS curriculum!

Your safety always comes first, so we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel our February 11th clinic at West Resort.

If you’ve already purchased a lesson, no worries — we’ll happily reschedule you for another STARS clinic. Just send me an email with your preferred date, and we’ll take care of the rest.

The good news? There’s a chance we could receive 12+ inches of snow beginning Sunday night. Now THAT sounds more like it!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to seeing you back on the slopes — in much more “senior-perfect” conditions.

Ski u later,
Bill
