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.
To that end, there are 2 items available for sale in the Pro Room whose proceeds will be donated to the foundation. They are:
K2 Spyne 110 boots $150
K2 Amp Skis $150.00
All proceeds from the sale of the above products will be donated to the Foundation. For more information please talk to Denis Lacroix in the Pro Room.
All for now…

Hi all
Things are coming together for the season, the weather is getting colder and snowmaking is ready to go at our first opportunity.
Our General meeting is this Sunday at 10 am. The meeting will not take more than an hour, we will be activating passes and handing out coats to returning instructors only.
In order to get pass and coat, the following must be completed:
The plan is to get our returning instructors processed and then we will get the new people processed after the hiring clinic is done. Let’s make sure we all have registered online and have paid our dues.
Un-certified candidates and TAs will be given passes once training begins. Until then we will produce daily tickets.
See you all on Sunday.
