Salut à tous,

 La première fin de semaine ses bien dérouler, par contre il y a toujours place a amélioration.

Our first weekend went well, however there is always room for improvement.

Be here before 830. Be prepared for supervisors needing to balance groups and make transfers.

Take note of week 1 challenges and adjust yourself, teaching is a learning process.

Pour bien enseigner, il faut bien apprendre nos leçons.

If you missed the first week, we look forward to seeing you this week.

We will be putting out the march break signup sheets, Quebec March 6,7, 8 and Ontario March 13,14,15. Plan ahead , we will need help to make it happen.

Monday night training begins Jan 16th on snow 7 to 8 45 pm.

Bonjour a tous,

Un grand merci pour une fin de semaine bien exécuté, c’est toujours un défi de démarrer nos programmes de neuf semaine.

Thank you!  for your efforts in making the start of programs go off well.

On the 29th of Dec. we had a Stranger Danger issue on the Skyline chair, we are hoping it is an over reaction, however its not something we can ignore.

Because of this we will adjust lift protocol. And increase our awareness and group management.

1- students needing help will ride with instructors, TAs, patrol or coaches.

2 – Instructors will ensure that their groups are paired with each other and avoid single General public adding themselves in. Lift attendants are aware.

3- Ski wee should not be an issue since they are by design in smaller groups and supervisors can help coordinate.

4- The youth groups able to ride lifts without assistance will require instructors to be more organized at the lifts to ensure that pupils ride up within the group.

Before getting on a lift with a student/client, inform them of the following:

• How to sit on the chair lift;

• How to lower the bar;

• How to behave on the chair lift;

• How and when to lift the safety bar;

• How to get off the chair lift; and,

• Where to meet the group

We encourage team work with our groups.

Your supervisors can answer any questions you may have.

Again, thank you for being here and making the show a success.

Encore une foi un grand merci !

Nous resterons fermés pour demain 1er janvier. Nous avons eu une quantité importante d’eau, avec plus de pluie attendue.  Les températures ne devraient pas baisser avant demain soir, heure à laquelle nous déplacerons toutes les dameuses et commencerons à réparer pour être ouverts pour le 2 Janvier.

We will remain closed for tomorrow January 1. We had a significant amount of water over the last 24 hours with more on the way and it has created a bit of a mess. Temperatures are not forecasted to drop until tomorrow evening at which time we will move all the groomers out and start patching up to be open for the 2nd of January.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years Eve , look forward to Monday morning and the second winter camp.
