Salut a tous,

Session tomorrow evening 630 on snow. There are level 1, 2 and 3 courses being offered this spring at Camp Fortune.

Sessions will be focused on preparing skiers for their next level.

If eating in the main lodge please stay on the main floor and avoid using the second floor (mezzanine) as this is reserved for staff that don’t have use of the pro room.

Being organized is important in lift lines, please be sure you are prepared for loading the chairs and if asked to use the triple ? do so we are all trying to make lines more efficient.

The event of the last few weeks have been hard to dal with , i want to thank those making the effort to be here you are very much appreciated . By next week we should be back to normal .

A reminder on commitment , a day is a day . leaving early is not very helpful.

March breaks , we can you people for both regardless of how much time you can commit , we will be happy to see you.

We will be announcing the nominees for the Academy Awards soon and the date for an awards social in April.

Its not how you start its how you finish. lets finish strong .

Salut la Gang,

Here we go into week 5 , thank you in advance for being here and teaching your groups, I understand how some may worry about the commute to and from the hill but redoing or cancelling is not a feasible plan . Too many would be upset if we did and in reality we are committed to set dates that are not easily extended and or switched both from the customer attendance and staffing side.

To be clear your attendance is very much appreciated.

Monday night session, 630 on snow, you will have the choice to either run a GS or free ski session.

Park course will be rescheduled to march see snowpro.com for details.

If you know of anyone looking for some weekday work,

Bonne journée à tous,

Here we go into the weekend and with the new snow from yesterday conditions are great. Looking forward to having our gang out on snow . Week 4 of the programs, the groups should be stable and moving nicely. less cold that the last few weeks and sunshine :)

It may be worth changing your route to the hill, in case of traffic disruptions. Suggest an earlier departure to give yourself time. Champlain bridge may be the best option.

Remember sessions at 830 on snow.

Also the CSIA park course, that is being offered in Feb18 to 20th. . if you want it to be a go you need to sign up.
