Reminder STARS Clinic 2-18-26

 Hi STARS ðŸŒŸ

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.)

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 ðŸŽ¿✨

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

Monday Update

 Good Afternoon STARS,

Happy Monday! Here’s your official (and highly anticipated) update for our 4th STARS Clinic of the season, happening Wednesday, February 11th at the West Resort.
Good news right out of the gate: no parking pass needed—consider it our first win of the day.

Current Mountain Conditions:

·       Snow Depth: 18-20 inches 

·       Road Conditions: Open with no restrictions—your car will be just fine

·       Weather Forecast: Cloudy skies, low-40s—perfect for skiing, riding, and not freezing your nose off

Important (but painless) Reminders:

·       Please remember your instructor from the last clinic—this helps us get grouped faster and spend more time sliding downhill instead of standing around chatting (we can chat later).

·       Check-in: 8:30–9:00 AM with me

·       New STARS: First-timers will need to sign a liability form and show ID—one-time deal for the season

·       Lift Tickets & Lessons: Must be purchased online by Monday at midnight (the internet sleeps, but the deadline does not):
Mountain High STARS Program
https://shop.mthigh.com/senior-stars

·       Equipment Rentals: Available at the Main Ticket Booth near the parking lot for $15

Bring your smile, your energy, and maybe that favorite pair of ski socks—because this Wednesday is shaping up to be another great day on the mountain.

Looking forward to skiing and riding with you all again soon!

Ski you soon,
Bill ðŸŽ¿
