  Member Parking

 Please remember the following tips for successful parking in the attached Fillmore Place garage:
 
Keep your parking ticket safe from creases, wrinkles, oils, or damage as all of these potentially demagnetize the validation and it will not read properly.
 
Each stamp is valid for up to three hours validation, per visit.
 
Present your ticket for validation upon entry to the club so you do not forget to get your stamp before you leave.

 If you experience trouble with the validator at the garage exit, please look carefully at the machine; there is a  phone key pad and signage directing you through an auto-dialer system, through which the parking garage management may assist you. As directed on the sign, please dial *1#, and if you do not receive an answer, move on to *2#. If you do not receive an answer, dial *3#. By following the sequential order, you will eventually reach the assigned parking garage manager on duty, who will ask you a series of questions in attempt to assist you and may activate the gate release remotely, if needed.

With the snow sport group training, we prepare the body for specific physical demands of the sport. The rigors of this sport differ from most of our summer activities. This training will prepare the body for the increased neurological demand and the ability to absorb the new forces that are imposed on the body. We will train in the specific energy systems that are required of snow sports in order to enhance our efficiency and create an abundance of muscular/power endurance to make it all seem easy.
