SkiVenture Hillmaster Dates!!!

Here are the dates for Hillmaster for the 2019-2020 season (you only need to go to one per year, but must re-certify each season)

Sunday 12/8,  12:30 – 2:30 p.m.

Saturday 1/11, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Hillmaster training allows you to start SV up whenever you want as long as you have 2 responsible people there.  At Hillmaster training you sign a sheet saying that you have adequate first aid training, and we show you how to run the place.  Hillmasters certification is available for ages 18 and over and members in good standing.  You do not need to be a skier to take Hillmaster training, but if there is snow on the ground bring your gear.

Hillmaster Training Date is Set !!!!

Happy New Year to our Ski Venture members!    Be sure you have your membership applications (and dues) paid ASAP as we’re now reviewing the waiting list and will be notifying new families of any openings.   If you’re a new family or wish to be added to the Waiting List for membership – please read application carefully as you will need a referral from 2 current member families!

Tremendous progress with work on upgrades to the upper lift / rope tow are nearing completion!   If you have driven by lately in the afternoon / evening you may have seen the lights on!

Our own GG (groomer guy) is itching to fire up the machine and start grooming – just need some snow now that we’re nearly ready!

For members that wish to be trained and become Hillmasters — President Frank has announced that starting (promptly) at 1:00pm this Sunday (January 6, 2019) he will host the first Hillmaster training session of the year.  Much has changed with regards to starting the upper lift — and members need to be recertified each year to retain (or obtain) their Hillmaster status.    Remember as well to be current on your First Aid training (another requirement for Hillmasters).

Please plan to carpool for Hillmaster training — although Fletch and our many volunteers continue to work on parking areas – we expect a large turnout for Hillmaster training in anticipation of a great ski season and our parking is limited.

Hillmaster Training — Sunday, January 6th at 1pm…

Columbus Day Message from President Frank

Good afternoon SkiVenturers, and happy Columbus Day. There has been a lot of good progress at the club over the last few weeks. If you were not able to volunteer, I have good news. There is still plenty of work to be done, and dates for your calendar.

I spent some time this morning getting our email list in order, and I apologize to those who were out of the loop. I will be taking a little more time this season to do a better job with the admin side.

Here are some dates to save:
10/15, 8:00 – 12:00: Second and final concrete pore for the season. We need lots of hands.

10/21, 9:00 – 4:00: First annual work party, chain sawing, brush cutting, wood chipping, etc. If you have a four wheeler or a 4wd tractor that will help.

10/31 – Membership applications due – we will bring new members off the waiting list on 11/1.

11/11, 9:00 – 4:00: Second annual work party

11/11, 5:00 – 9:00: Annual club meeting and election of officers. If you would like to nominate yourself or anyone else for President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer, please let me know by 10/23.

12/16, 9:00 – 11:00: Hillmaster training – If you are not sure what that is or if it is for you, give me a call.

1/6, 9:00 – 11:00: Hillmaster training

I am so looking forward to another great season.
Frank
