Thank you , for your hard work this season, I hear lots of positive comments from the parents I meet out on the hill.

With the march breaks approaching , its important for us to know who we can expect to be here teaching. thanks to those that are signed up, and to those thinking about it please tell us before this weekend . Without clear #s we will need to manage the # of students we take on. Its a nice way to make a few bucks and enjoy 3 or 4 days of skiing/riding. Call the cage ext 2223 to sign up for either the Q or Ont break. if transport is an issue let us know and we can help with some car pooling options.

Since tomorrow is a PD day for our Ontario students, it would be great to have you here for the day. Get your parents to drop you off on their way to work and you can help out with groups and privates . hope to see some of you here to ski / ride and make a few bucks while your at it.

Also we are still looking for March breaks so please get your names on the list soon if your able to teach. Its important to note that

Hello all,

Great skiing today the Sunday gang can expect good skiing / riding.

5 star google review by Sergiu Luculescu

A very good place for beginners! If you will have ski classes, ask for Marie Lou or Remo. They are the best teachers ever. In just 4 classes I learned how to ski!

I share this review because its a great example of how our customers appreciate our efforts and get super exited when we manage to help them figure it out. Congrats to Remo and Mary Lou . I would like suggest that many of you have had people that felt the same way. ( they just didn’t say anything about it)

So good work everyone , let’s keep wowing them !

Academy news Jan 30th

Hello all,

Lets begin with feedback from our customers. Compliments as to kids being adjusted into a class that is a better fit. Compliments on the hard work getting our beginners going and up the chairs. With a bit of luck we should be able to have all our groups moving to the chairs this weekend.

I want to remind everyone, when you are here we expect that you are available to take a group or a private all day ,not just part of the day. We count on our instructors and appreciate your work, please be sure to stick to the commitment you made. Thank you for that.

This Sunday we will have another Norm Grondin Foundation fund raising social, Pizza, Soft drinks 2$ each, and beer for 5$ please bring a few bucks and contribute to the fund.

March breaks, if you want to work during the Q or Ont breaks, please sign up at the cage. We need to know how many we can count on.

We have some new toys in the Beginner area, Marty has put out some ideas on how to use them.

– Set them up as a slalom course

– Play distraction for example, riding on.

– Use as a rest area.

– Use as a target with beginner skier, free glide, aim and hit. Especially helpful at top of carpet to give kids a visual of where to go.

– Touch the objects on the way down the hill (encourages direction change)

 – have kids push them up and down the hill without skis on, then add skis. It quickly develops awareness of edges. After the exercise, kids almost automatically figure out the wedge and turning. Encourages balance over the skis. Remarkable results.

We can use some help on the 4th and 12th of feb, 1 or 2 sessions in the am, if you can be here please let me know or call the cage to confirm.

All for now,

It will be a warm weekend, ski u later.
