Adaptive Snow Sports - Make a difference

It is not a huge time committment, but very rewarding to help others with challenges to enjoy the sport we love. Training is provided, but if you have a background as a former CSIA instructor, that will really help with your learning curve. 

The adaptive lessons I taught were the most rewarding of my ski teaching years.

Resorts Shifting Operating Hours

Apex added to list of ski resorts shifting operating hours to 9:30 to 4:00 from opening until at least the end of January. James Shalman was interviewed on CBC this morning. The change is mostly to have enough daylight for pre-opening work for maintenance and ski patrol. 

Our Baldy family and guests from the USA will be affected by the one hour time difference between Oroville and  Baldy.

oliverdailynews.ca

Jack Bennest is back online - same name, but .ca not .com. In his retirement years, Jack served on the Oliver Town Council for many years, and served the community with years of Oliver Daily News. 

He ran for council in the most recent election, and called me this morning, telling me that Oliver Daily News is back online.

Slash Piles

I do not have an update on the plans for the slash piles. I was told awhile ago that clean-up funding had been approved, but I don't know if that will be affected by the change of government.

There has been some discreet removal of firewood from some of the piles, as well as some discreet addtions to the piles.

Not so discreet is fresh stuff dumped at the Wapiti Creek FSR. If you want some firewood for next year, it is easy to get at.

Work continues on the spacing/fuel mitigation project along the Mt. Baldy Road - watch for trucks

 

I stopped to let a loaded logging truck pass in the canyon this afternoon. I just got a glimpse of something moving below in the shade, and was glad I stopped where I did.

Christmas Shopping

There is more merchandise to come in, but guest services is already well stocked. If you loved the skier and snow shoer posters, there will be a snowboarder and Eagle one coming this season.

 

SROAM Class here today

I didn't stop to take a photo, but BMR has posted one. Students in the Selkirk College Ski Resort Operations and Management program stopped by today on their ski resort tour.

Baldy has benefitted greatly over the years with graduates of the program working here.

The visitors were first year students.

Second year students do a work term. Baldy is fortunate to have a 2nd year student coming to work here in the winter.

Guest Services

Guest Services open 9:00 to 4:00 starting today. Lots of new merch.
