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
