THANK YOU STARS

 Hi STARS:

What a beautiful day we had at our 8th Clinic of the season! We welcomed 22 Seniors today, including a couple of brand-new members to the STARS family. (Welcome aboard—we promise the snow is softer than getting out of bed in the morning!)

After our group photo at 9:30 a.m., we hit the snow. What I saw all over the mountain were happy Seniors and smiling instructors. And when STARS are skiing safely and having fun, it makes teaching a whole lot easier—and keeps the instructors smiling too.

It was a beautiful blue-sky day, and while it warmed up to about 55 degrees by noon, the snow stayed just right for some great coaching from our terrific Senior STARS instructors.

📅 Save the Date – Next Week!
Our Senior STARS Luncheon will be Wednesday, March 18th, right after the clinic at the Bullwheel Grill starting at 12:00 pm.

This year we’re going with a Mexican theme 🌮. Lunch is $16 (credit card only) and includes a beverage. It’s our way of saying THANK YOU for being part of the STARS program for 17 wonderful years—and yes, there will be some fantastic prizes during the luncheon!

Please RSVP  by March 15, if you’ll be attending the luncheon on March 18th. Thanks!

See you on the snow Wednesday—
and remember… we may ski a little slower these days, but we still look fast in our photos!

Ski you Wednesday,

Bill

 

"It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be fast. Just keep skiing and have a good time!"

Monday Update

 Good Morning STARS:

Here’s your Monday Morning Update for the STARS Program on Wednesday, March 11th at the West Resort.

Tickets and rentals open at 8:00 am, and the lifts will start spinning at 9:00 am (which gives everyone plenty of time to wake up, stretch a little, and remember where you put your gloves). 

We currently have 12–24 inches of snow on the mountain, which should give us some very nice coverage for Wednesday. So bring your smile, your energy, and maybe a few extra “turns of wisdom” because it looks like we’re going to have another great day on the snow.

🌮 Senior STARS Luncheon – Wednesday, March 18th

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

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 put up a very convincing argument, please let me know by Monday afternoon if you plan to attend the 3/11 clinic. We need a little time to process your ticket and lesson, reshuffle groups and instructors, and make sure everyone ends up in the right place (and on the right skis).

Ski you Wednesday,

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.

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.
