Hello all,
As some of you may be aware of the situation that has been going on this past week at Meadows, this brings up snow safety. We have gotten so much snow this season (468 inches) and with more to be expected this spring we need to keep in mind some safety protocols to keep ourselves and our fellow staff safe. Please make sure you are always skiing or riding with a buddy, let someone know where you will be, and please be aware of tree well safety. Check out this video for more information https://www.deepsnowsafety.org/

Guest Comments
· Chuck is a great coach. It is inspiring for this 40 something year old to know I may have a chance to keep skiing for the next 30 years!
· William (my son) seemed to be have a great experience with Colin Wilson, and he made meaningful progress. When we came in to check on William at lunch time, Colin was very attentive and helpful by describing how William did in the morning and what their afternoon goals would be. At pick-up in the afternoon, Neal Cohen was very helpful and gracious with William, Thomas (his brother) and me (Dad).
· Heather was great! She was very generous with her time in sharing feedback about my son’s day and gave very specific directions about where to take him next in his learning. She’s a gem!
· Cassandra was great with Marissa. Marissa was up on buttercup the whole time after her lessons with minimum falls. The lessons are worth it.
· Fransico was great. We really enjoyed him. It’s nice to see someone who enjoys their job and enjoys being with people.
· GG was really awesome. My son would not stop talking about his experience. Immediately he asked when he could return. This morning that was also his first question as soon as he woke up. He said he had dreams of skiing. He’s hooked.
· Roy was awesome with Henry!
· Peter was awesome – super engaged, easy going and supportive. I really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone!
· Clint was a fantastic instructor. He did a great job of staying positive and just focusing on 2-3 pointers (which is really the most anyone can work on in a two-hour lesson). I purchased a Meadows pass because of how much fun I had learning from Clint and then practicing the rest of the day.
· Natalie was absolutely amazing! We seriously lucked out getting matched up with her. She was SO helpful developing my skills. Thank you so much Natalie!
· Hey again. I just wanted to let you know the instructor yesterday, Derek (I didn’t get his last name, but he is a full time instructor,) was fantastic. I am not a big powder skier and his suggestions, lesson, trail selection was perfect for me. Excellent guy.
