Reminder STARS Clinic 3/11/26

 

Hi STARS ⭐

Just a friendly reminder about our 8th Senior STARS Clinic on Wednesday, March 11th at the West Resort. Hard to believe we’re already this far into the season… time flies when you’re having fun (and occasionally trying to remember where you parked). ⛷️

🌮 Senior STARS Luncheon – Wednesday, March 18th

Our Senior STARS Luncheon will be held Wednesday, March 18th at 12:00 pm at the Bullwheel Grill.

This year’s theme is Mexican, so come hungry! The cost is $16, which includes lunch and a beverage (credit card only).

It’s a great way to celebrate 17 years of the STARS Program and say THANK YOU to all of you who make this program so special. And remember… we’ll be giving away some great prizes. Who knows — you might leave with more than just good memories and a full stomach.

If you missed the last clinic on 3/4 due to illness, a busy schedule, or simply because your couch was winning the battle that morning, please let me know by Monday morning if you plan to attend the 3/11 clinic as we need a little time to process your ticket and lesson, reshuffle groups and instructors, so if you’re planning to join us on the snow, give me a heads-up.

Remember… we can’t hold your spot forever—this isn’t a ski lift line from the 1970s! 😄⛷️

❄️ Mountain Conditions

We’ve been enjoying spring conditions this week. The snow is firm in the morning and softens nicely by noon, which is perfect for us seasoned snow athletes who like a little help from Mother Nature.

Thanks to some snowmaking this week, we now have 12–24 inches of coverage, so Wednesday should be another great day for our 8th clinic.

🛍️ Retail Sale

Stop by the Retail Store inside Big Pines Lodge. Many soft goods are already 25% off (with a few exceptions). Great time to grab a deal for you or your family — or to replace that “favorite” jacket you’ve been wearing since the last Olympics.

🎿 Mountain High Season Pass Sale

Starting March 7th, you can purchase a 2026–27 Mountain High Season Pass for $579 (lowest price) and ski or snowboard the rest of this season FREE.

Renewals: $529
Sale ends: May 1st

🎿 Equipment Needs?

If you’re looking for gear, give Steve Crane a call at Sports LTD in Woodland Hills. Let him know you’re part of the STARS Program at Mountain High — it’s almost like flashing a VIP badge (although you’ll still have to carry your own skis).

Woodland Hills, CA 91364

Call ahead and make an appointment with Steve or Chris, and bring a copy of this email so they know you’re one of our shining STARS. Their Spring Sale begins at the end of the month.

Thank You STARS

 Hi STARS 🌟

What a day for our 7th STARS Clinic of the season! We had 17 young-at-heart Seniors out carving up the corduroy with 12–23 inches of snow at Mountain High. Groomers so smooth you could’ve set your coffee on them (not recommended… but tempting!).

We also welcomed 2 NEW Seniors to the program. After a few quick words of wisdom (and maybe a few stories), we hit the snow. Spring conditions, blue skies, and 17 smiling faces — that’s what we call a successful day. Nobody went home disappointed… except maybe when the lifts stopped spinning.

🔧 Safety Reminder: Don’t forget to get those bindings checked each season. We want everyone upright, sliding forward, and enjoying many more STARS clinics.

⭐ Evaluation – Glow & Grow:
Tell us one thing we’re doing well (the “Glow”) and one thing we can improve on (the “Grow”). We promise to read them — even without our reading glasses.

Monday Update

Hi STARS 🌟

Here’s your Monday Update for our 7th SENIOR PROGRAM STARS CLINIC this Wednesday, March 4th at the West Resort. 

If you ordered snow… delivery complete! We received more than 3 FEET of fresh snow a few weeks ago, and the mountain is still looking beautiful with 25–37 inches of coverage. In other words, Wednesday is shaping up to be fantastic. Groomers, smiles, and maybe even a few “I meant to ski that line” moments.

📅 Mark Your Calendars! Our STARS Luncheon after our clinic is set for Wednesday, March 18th at the Bullwheel Grill at 12:00pm. The cost is $16 (credit card only — leave that cash in your ski jacket pocket). Come enjoy good food, great company, and the best part of all… absolutely no ski boots required.  Now that’s something worth celebrating! 🎉

New Seniors to our program:
You’ll pick up your rentals and lift ticket at the Main Ticket Window by the parking lot. Once you’ve secured your gear and ticket, hop on the Bullwheel Express (yes, the moving carpet — no poles required!) and ride up to the Ski School area at the Reservation Center outside the Bullwheel Restaurant.

I’ll be there for check-in from 8:15 am to 9:00 am. If you arrive early, that just gives you more time to tell stories about how much steeper the mountain used to be. 😄

About your groups:
Remember, ski and snowboard groups are flexible. Feeling like a speed demon? We can move you up. Want to take it a little slower and enjoy the scenery (and oxygen)? Just talk to your instructor or me. We’re here to make sure you have the BEST experience possible.

Important:
Please purchase your ticket by Monday night so you’re guaranteed a spot for Wednesday, March 4th. We don’t want anyone giving us the “But Bill…” speech in the morning!

To pre-purchase online:

Please Note:
If your clinic date was moved due to illness or other reasons, you’ll need to check in at the Main Ticket Windows at the base (next to Guest Services) Wednesday morning. They’ll print your STARS lift ticket and rental voucher (if needed) before you head up to meet me near the Bullwheel Restaurant.

Since your lesson package was moved, you will NOT receive a new QR code that morning — so please have your order number handy to keep things running smoother than our corduroy!

Ski ya Wednesday!
