Yup, this season will be the first with the new quad. I'm also kind of bummed because Blackfoot is my favorite.

Skiing with friends
Anticipating a winter colder and snowier than last year (anything beats last year)
Going to UT and CO with some divas and meeting a few more while there
Skiing on new skis?
And hopefully some spring skiing somewhere with corn snow and soft bumps

Looking forward to... actually skiing this year. A little time on the hill, any snowy bump for that matter, is bound to help with whatever life throws at me, right? Considering a membership at Blue Hills just to get out there again. And a little worried that 3 ski-less years have erased what little bit of ability (or would it be capability?) I had.

Sounds awesome! Thanks
We went up last year during the OUTRAGEOUSLY COLD Valentine's weekend....since my eyelashes froze, and got the stomach virus during our stay, I did not get to see much of the mountain, lol!
Would love to go back up and actually experience it!

The mountain where I work is finally going paperless. We have a new payroll company and we'll have direct deposit available to us, no more paper checks wooh hooh. All paperwork including the safety quiz we need to take can all be completed electronically. Lesson tracking will all be done via tablets 'on the field' so to speak so no more lining up at the end of the day to turn in our tickets from privates and to tell them what groups, etc we taught. Returning instructor meeting this sunday. I'm ready to get some pre-season stoke going. I'm so excited to see my friends whom I haven't seen since March.

We are definitely behind the times but we are much smaller than Tremblant. The schedule thing is something we were doing last season. I go check the schedule in the am and would know what lineups to show up for private, group etc. I'm just glad to have direct deposit now. That and to have what lessons we teach logged electronicly instead of having to tell them upon check out. Wood hoot

@surfsnowgirl , I recommend checking your #s against #s reported by the new payroll system, just to make sure they got it right when they switched over.

I agree completely. As people know it gets CRAZY during the height of lesson times plus spontaneous things happen where you might get asked to help out somewhere etc. I do think it would be really hard to catch every lesson everyone's in etc on the fly as it happens. For that part of it I almost prefer checking out every day telling them what I had and seeing them write it down. At someones suggestion last season I started carrying a small notebook to track my lessons to match up against my paycheck and I'll definitely keep doing that. I'm probably most excited about the direct deposit ahh the simple things haha

Had our returning instructor meeting yesterday and our schedules will be submitted and maintained electronically this year also. We submit our calendar of the 20 days we can do and it gets logged electronically. This also works if we need to change one of our days, we just submit an electronic request and the schedule will be modified. We are a small resort so these little changes might seem silly to some but it's appreciated by us here.
We also had the CEO from Snow Operating (Terrain Based Learning) speak at our meeting yesterday and I'm stoked to get to work with this awesome program a second year in a row.
