Hello fellow instructors!
March is coming in like a lion. New snow, a lot of guests and lessons! Get some wellness run in (with a buddy) and please do all you can to keep our students (big and small) safe when enjoying themselves in deep snow. I am away this weekend (I’ll miss see you), so please direct reply emails to Mark.Fischer@skihood.com
Northwest Association of Blind Athletes
Northwest Association of Blind Athletes will be visiting to go skiing and snowboarding, would you be interested in being one of the instructors for this group? They generally start the lesson around 10am and finish around 12:30-1pm. Most likely this could be your only lesson of the day because of them going late. Let Mark Fischer know if this sounds like something you would like to help out with.
Warm Spring Day
Monday, March 5 kids from the Warm Springs Reservation will be up for their annual ski and snowboard day. We are looking for additional help. These kids typically take snowboard lessons, so we’ll need additional help from snowboard coaches.
