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

Hey all,
Yesterday’s Hiring Clinic was well attended. Great to see so many new people planning on joining our team, hoping that we see you all take the pre-course, and work towards your certification.
Je veux aussi souligner que les sessions pour les aides moniteur, moniteur et le pré-stage, débute la fin de semaine prochaine. So to that end, I would expect our staff to be here over the next couple of weekends in order to get up to speed technically and be ready for the holiday season .
Performance Programs will be looking for a few good Men/ Women , if your able to commit speak with Clayton cpolan@bell.net next weekend . This is a 15 day program beginning Dec 16th.
Privates Program, these are the instructors that commit to privates and get booked for Sat and or Sun all winter. if your able to commit contact Roger or SJ for now please contact sjnormand@gmail.com
All program supervisors will be drafting people from the active list so be sure you get organized in order to be selected, this does not apply to our new candidates you will be added in as you get cert.
Hill will be open next Friday , Sat and Sun. see you then.
All for now, will be reachable via email only this week.

Hey all,
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.
Remember the food bank box in the pro room, please and thank you.
All I have for now

Hello all
The hill will be open this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 9 to 4 pm. The season is promising to be a good one.
Only returning instructors will be able to get a pass, as long as they are active and up to date in the system.
New instructors and candidates will be starting on Dec 2nd, and TAs will get started on their first training weekend on either the 9th and 10th or the 16th 17th of Dec. Lists will be produced based on the registration lists on the Academy web site.
For those wanting to ski or ride and who need to purchase a ticket, the rate is 20$
Snowmaking report: Pinnault will be open this weekend, and snowmaking has moved to Meech, but unsure if we will be able to open Paradise by the weekend.
A reminder to our returning instructors – don’t expect a ticket if you have not completed your activation (dues paid (need proof), completed the Academy on-line registration for returning instructors and signed your offer of service (available in in the pro-room)).
Helping those in need.
I received a call from the food bank asking if we would be helping out this season, I said we would. So if you’re able, please drop off a non-perishable item from time to time and I will make a bi-weekly run to the food bank. We will have a box in the pro room.
Thank you in advance.
All for now
POP-UP bonus jacket & pass pick-up date:
So for those returning who have not yet picked up your pass & jacket, The Pro Room will be open from 9:30 to 12:30 tomorrow (Saturday).
