HERE IT COMES, READY OR NOT!
So why not be ready?

Exactly six weeks from today, in fact six weeks from right now as it is 9:30 AM on Monday
Oct. 19, we will be leaving the Trailblazer
Clinic meeting place as we begin day one of
forty three Trailblazer Clinic ski days of the
2015/16 ski season.  Yes, you read it right.
 43 days of clinics, that's 86 hours, and
 that's 5160 minutes of skiing FUN!  All for $349.   I could give it in seconds but you might think
 that I've finally lost it.  It's got to be the
 best deal on the mountain.

So, the question, are you ready?  I'm hopeful
that you have had an exciting and fun
 filled summer and fall.  Time to get the legs in shape, if you haven't already.  Brisk walking,
bicycling or 3 or 4 days in the gym would be
 good, but getting you ski fit is not the
 intent of this message.

I'd like to get you up to date as to what the
new ski clinic has ins tore for you.  First of all, just like the past two years we will have
seasoned, dedicated coaches from the
 Stratton Ski School.  Also, as in the past,
we will have a number of 'specialty days'
where we will bring in guest coaches
 from the school to have race training, bump
days and woods/tree skiing days.

Now the best deal on the mountain is even better!

New this year will be several video sessions. 
The details of this are yet to be fine tuned but
 it IS going to happen.  We are also going to
 have in conjunction with the First Run Ski Shop, at least one and maybe more, special ski demo days with promos for clinic members only.
 We are also working on a plan for clinic folks
to have a boot stance and alignment session. 
Again, stay tuned for details.  I just
wanted to whet your appetite. 

For you Saturday people who still suffer from
 the curse of a 5 day work week and are not
able to enjoy the mid-week program, we are planning the same activities for you (not the 'specialty days' of course as the school
needs 'all hands on deck' on Saturdays).

So there you have it.  Some thoughts of what to expect as we plan to have the 2015/16 Trailblazer clinic program to be the best yet.  If you haven't already registered, what are you waiting for?
 Let's get to it!!

I can't wait to see you all again and catch
up on your off season lives.  Also anxious
 to meet all you new people!

Start thinking/ dreaming of
the perfect carved turn!
