March 26, 2021, Week 8
It is spring and the skiing is still very good. Too warm, at almost 50 degrees tomorrow, so get those turns in. We are still going to organize in classes but not entirely sure what is next. Week 8 is usually a little loose, freeskiing, level up if you grab an instructor and there will be "serious" games on Sunday. The rematch of Corbin vs. CJ in the downhill. I have money on CJ. Old age and treachery always overcome youth and skill.
Saturday 8:30. Instructors get to do this first. Everyone else to the terrain park at 10 AM
From Richard:
On Saturday we have a special event for skiers and snowboarders wanting to learn about Freestyle-Terrain Park. Ryan Christofferson is a member of the PSIA National Team-Freestyle will be at Sky Tavern. Starting at 10 am Ryan will discuss and demonstrate and explain how to perform the various tricks at our terrain park. We will also have instructors teaching the fundamentals of tricks and being safe in our park. Come join us only if you want to have fun at this inaugural event.
This from the Adaptive Department:
Discover the joy of skiing at “Ability Ski Day” at Sky Tavern sponsored by Renown, this Saturday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Kids and adults with mental or physical challenges can learn about the opportunities Sky Tavern offers to help them enjoy this winter sport. Those who are able-bodied can experience the thrill of riding in an adaptive ski sled.
Adaptive trained instructors will review specialty equipment and technics to help those who want to experience skiing but think their abilities limit their opportunities.
On snow opportunities will be available from 10:00 to 1:00 on a limited basis.
The event is free and open to the public.
By now you have seen that one of the coolest sights at Sky Tavern is an empty wheelchair slopeside. If you know someone that would benefit from this program please get them up here. Dave got the little guy that broke his leg earlier this season out in a sit-ski on Sunday. Huge smiles, huge.
Race Team Try-outs. 12 PM at the Race Shack, top of the racecourse.
It is that time to see if your kid wants to bang gates. Kids must be in upper levels of skiing, no wedge turns, and be pretty independent. Ski racing does a huge amount for kids. All four of mine did at least a year before branching off to other specialties, even that nice mom in the office. It changes kids and we are the best in the west.
Lost and Found
This happens every year. Lots of left stuff. They are going to lay it out upstairs. Come find that jacket or it ends up at the Ski Swap next fall.
PSIA and AASI Testing
Sky Tavern wins big! Everyone worked so hard all season towards this!
