And in the Pro room, Frank was all agog…
Where are all my instructors, so many haven’t given us the Nod.
If only Blitzen and Prancer could ride a ski or a board,
Then I’d be sure, of having my training squad.
Dasher and Prancer were needed to lend a hoof,
To help poor Frank off of the roof…
‘nough said… if I want to get paid!
Ok now back to business, we will reopen on the 26th and we look forward to a busy holiday season. For those that signed up for the Xmas Camp please be in the pro room by 8:45 on the 26th. Meeting at 9 am.
A reminder to all that if you drop in during the holidays we expect all to be available to teach privates. So always wear your jackets and be ready.
We will be using the weekend of the 6th and 7th of Jan for training. I do expect all to be on hand i.e. if you’re a sat or a sun instructor show up on the day you have committed to.
Supervisors will be drafting their staff and making plans for the 9 week programs.
Be here and don’t be left behind.
Merry Christmas to everyone, hope you all enjoy the holidays.
All for now,
Frank
Hi All:
The Norm Grondin Bursary Fund has been set up for the purpose of helping deserving TAs to attain Level 1 CSIA & CASI certification and education which will aid them with their career objectives in the ski industry.
Based on donations, the NGMF will offer a bursary each year and it is our hope it will
make a significant contribution to the success of deserving individuals.

Hello all,
Those that have been up at the hill know that the snow has been good, and now this new natural stuff will make it even nicer. On Friday we re-open for the season, Pinnault and Paradise will be open along with the carpet area. Saturday, we will add Clifford to the mix, so 3 chairs and 3.5 runs . Snow-making is working hard on both sides and we can expect Marshall early next week , followed by Skyline around Xmas.
Come out, get in some runs with our new supervisors Eva Margo-Dermer and Josh Cassidy McDowell.
We plan to review some class management, teaching techniques, along with discussing some changes we will be implementing to improve the service we provide to our customers.
Look forward to seeing you all. If you are a new instructor with Fortune Academy or a returning instructor who would like to instruct in the All Mountain program please come out and join us.
We have a number of incomplete instructors, people that have not yet graced us with their presence, I encourage you to get here to complete the process. As we will soon be assigning classes . if you are not on a list, we won’t need you.
All for now

The hill will be open on Friday (Pinnault only), for sat and sun we will also have Meech (Paradise). Hiring clinic on Sat, looking forward to seeing our new people on snow. For our returning instructors and TAs training will begin the 9th and 10th of Dec.
Let’s all be sure we are following the blog, I know you are because you are receiving this, if a friend of yours is not please tell them to follow the blog, cause apparently they don’t listen to me (-:
Many have said they are returning, but few have completed the process. Please don’t wait till the last minute to get it done.
If anyone is not returning to teach we would appreciate the jacket being returned before we have to go looking for it.
