The new and improved plan 😒 Oh que ça va mal a shop avec la météo, encore un changement de plan.

Dec 10^th 11^th

The hill will not be open this weekend.

TA training #1 is pushed back to the 17th and 18th

The pre course won’t run this weekend as we will not be open, we will have some training on the 16th if available and the 17-18 for those taking the course in Jan. It’s unfortunate but with the challenging weather snowmaking is slow.

As to refunds for the pre course , It could be refunded if you return the pass ( unused), but then you  would spend more on lift tickets during the course, so it makes no sense to do so, unless you were planning on taking the course elsewhere, if that is the case see us this weekend between 10 30 and 12 30.

If you have a pre course lift pass it will work during your course in Dec or Jan. Once you have passed, we will reload it as an instructor pass.

Risk Management and best practices 10am

Certified instructors are invited to meet with supervisors 10;30 to 12;30 and once activated get their coats

Dec 17^th 18^th

Level 1 CSIA & CASI be here before 9 am

Bonjour/ hello all,

Je sais que beaucoup de moniteurs on déjà parler avec leur superviseure de l’année dernière. I know that many instructors have already spoken with their supervisor from last year. However, you are not listed as Active until we see you in the pro room.

It’s important to be activated with the Academy in general, those of you returning know the deal. If unsure read previous communications.

We need to know whom is here and committed to what days/ evenings.

Still looking for Holiday instructors and those wishing to be available for evening privates. Talk to us this weekend.

Have proof of cert, before coming up, please remember your pass from last year so we can reload it.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting our pre course candidates.

A demain, entre 10 et 13 heure, You English guys going to figure that out 😎

One of our long-time instructors has passed, Elgin Marsden. Elgin’s family asked that we let his fellow instructors know.

I know you join me in expressing sympathies to family and friends, Elgin was part of our team for decades, always keen to be of help and wanting to improve his skills as a skier and teacher. Like all of us I believe he was proud to be part of our team.

 There is a service this Tuesday, November 15 at 11 am at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 2345 Alta Vista Drive in Ottawa.
