Hello all,

This weekend should be very nice, hope to see many of you out to enjoy the sunshine. We are running privates and beginner specials so it will be important to go to the meeting area every hour on the half. Also it’s a good time to buy your ticket for the Academy Banquet (on April 16, 16). Still collecting nominations for Awards, send to fbernier@campfortune.com

Ontario March break begins Monday, thanks to all that have signed up to teach, and if you’re able, it’s not too late to join the team for the week. We are looking for a few extra snowboarders to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Call the cage (Ext 2223) if you’re available .

For those that want to return your jackets, we would like it washed and on a hanger in a clear plastic bag – that way when you pick up your jacket next season, it will be ready to go…

This weekend should be exciting with the Canadian Freestyle Championship on Heg.

You may also want to tell friends about Toonie Tuesday on the 22nd of March –  2$ skiing day or night.

If you have people interested in joining  our team, please  pass on this link to the Spring Training Document.

All for now…
See you on snow

Hi All:

Heads up for the Quebec March break, those of you joining please be at the pro room by 9 am.

This weekend was great , good snow conditions and most of our people were here to get their evaluations. I will do my best to ensure we have sunshine for next week. Those in programs are encouraged to dress in costumes for the last weekend. And remember to bring some $$$ for the fund raising social after skiing on Sat and Sun. We will have pizza, soft drinks and beer (for those of eligible age only).

And I will be able to do a session Monday evening, meet in pro room by  630 PM.

All for now
Frank

Yes, it’s true – there will be a MONDAY NIGHT SESSION on Feb 29, 16. Please be in the Pro room for 6:30 PM.

Hello all,
The snow is great and the rain did not damage conditions :D . This being week 8 we will be handing out the feedback sheets along with Academy stickers and a voucher for the Aerial Park.
Look forward to seeing all over the weekend. On Sunday we will have a large group of beginners and we will need to man the carpet area to help these people get some notion of turning and stopping before they head up a chairlift. To that end I would be happy to see as many hands on deck as possible, privates will also be busy. So spending an off day at the hill would be appreciated.
The Academy Banquet is set for the 16th of April, cost 25$. Tickets are on sale at the cage. Awards are a big part of the evening and your input is appreciated, so I encourage you to nominate instructors with a short reasoning and email me at fbernier@campfortune.com .

Hi All:

We are in need of 3 additional English instructors (2 ski and 1 board) for today at 4:30PM. If you can make it, please contact the cage at: 819-827-1717 ext 2223

Thanks,
Frank

Tomorrow is Family day, would love to see some extra people up here skiing/riding and should we be busy, you may get a lesson or two.

Great job this weekend in the cold weather, although many of our pupils were not with us those that made it had the benefit of your enthusiasm.

Thanks all
Frank

Hi All:

The T4’s and RL1’s for 2015 have now been processed.  This year we have gone paperless, so Academy instructors will need to log in to their self-service account to retrieve their  T4A ‘s and RL1’s.    It is very easy to use, after logging to your Payworks account, simply select Tax Forms on the home page and then select T4 and RL1.

If anyone has forgotten their user name and password they will have to contact Tracey by email, ttrudeau@campfortune.com

Hi all,

As we enter week 6, it’s now time to begin thinking about the evaluation forms we will be giving the pupils, your supervisors will be coordinating this with you. To be ready to write a few words on each of your pupils, be sure to take a few notes during the lesson in order to remember easily when writing on the forms. The goal is to have report cards handed out on week 8.

The Academy Banquet is set for the 16th of April, new this year, we are looking into running a bus from downtown Ottawa. In hopes of getting more of our younger crowd, we will need to know how many would be interested in paying for the service and if we have enough will go ahead with a bus. First step will be to sign up for it in order for us to consider renting a bus. Cost would be approx 10$. We will start a list of interested people at the cage so let us know if you may want to do this.

This is Family day weekend, this means we may be busy on Monday, so if able please come and ski/ride and while here pick up a few lessons.

This weekend will be coolish, so have your warm gear ready to go, also, since we will no doubt need to bring kids in for a warm up, be organized and try to get back out as quickly as possible. To stay warm; be active on the slopes, keep them moving , hopping, i.e. working hard.

As in past years we will be counting on our instructors to donate $’s to the Norm Grondin Memorial Foundation Bursary. This is the fund that provides financial support to the TA’s of the year towards taking their Level one. $’s will be collected at the Cage. Norm cared about our TAs and their training and this bursary is a fitting tribute to him as well as a unique initiative by the school. Let’s keep it going.

That’s it for now, see you on the weekend.

All for now,

Frank
