STARS Update #7

 Greetings from Mt. High!

 
We're thrilled about the upcoming season and can't wait for it to kick off! Please save the date: January 10, 2024, marks the first day of our STARS clinics.
 
To streamline your experience, we highly recommend purchasing lift tickets, lessons, and rentals online ahead of time. However, if you prefer to purchase on-site, kindly head to our Reservation Center located at the top of the Bullwheel Express. If we have availability we can sell to you on the day. If we sell out, I will be notifying everyone on our Monday update. 
 
Remember, our lifts start operating at 9:00 am.
 
A quick heads-up: Purchases cannot be made at the main ticket window near the parking lot. Instead, take the Bullwheel Express (the moving carpet) up to the Ski School area and visit the Reservation Center outside the Bullwheel Restaurant. I'll be available for check-ins from 8:15 am to 9:00 am.
 
If you know any seniors keen on joining our program, please encourage them to email me, and I'll ensure they're included in our STARS database. This way, they'll stay updated as we approach our first clinic on January 10th.
 
Looking forward to hitting the slopes together on January 10th!
 
Ski u January 10th,
 
Bill
