Skiers – I have submitted our information to the RR operators. They need us to fill out their Waiver on line; this also gives them the same info that I provided to them. So I need all skiers to be registered before our next meeting on Tuesday the 4th.   I never heard from any one that you are interested in the All Day Lessons, so I assume no takers – that is fine. When you fill out the Waiver, they will ask your ski skill level, if this if your first time to ski, put Beginner; everything else is pretty self e ...Continue Reading
