Ski Program 2009

Hello Everyone,

I know the leaves are still a little green to be thinking about skiing but it is time to get organized to make sure we have the experience we would like. (well, actually, Mary Sue is organized, you know me....)

Mary Sue and I are starting to get organized for this year's ski program. We will be booking a Thursday 10am lesson slot on Jan 22, 29, Feb 5, 12 and 26 - a total of 5 days. (February 12 will be a 11am lesson time) Before we can confirm those dates, we need to have an idea of numbers - so we know if we have enough to do it by ourselves like last year or if we need to get together with another group.

Prices will be the same as last year which is very reasonable and are included at the end of this post. What they are doing a little differently in an effort to be more organized and have people not miss their lessons, etc., is to limit the number of people at the hill taking lessons on a particular day. In the past, we have been able to accommodate people joining us at the last minute but this year we will have to be more concrete on our numbers. We will still have a little wriggle room but not the fluctuations that we have had in the past. So please let anyone know who might be interested so they can contact me as soon as possible. (agordon-smith@shaw.ca 250-503-5416) Once our numbers are confirmed, more details will follow.

Looking forward to long warm days in the cafeteria knitting and crocheting while all of you ski!

Sincerely,

Andrea Clarke

Parents MUST be helping to obtain these rates:

I notice that although the parent rates are higher than in the past, they no longer have to pay for a lesson so it works out to be about the same.
