***Re-scheduled*** Week #6 - February 23, 2025 - Mont Blanc (Versant Faustin)
Canada Day
To celebrate the last day of the season, we always do a theme day. The theme this year is CANADA DAY! Please decorate your helmet, wear red, display some maple leafs...be creative!
Brahm:
Hi Everyone,
This is our final day! We want to send the kids home with a smile on their faces and great memories. Consolidate what you have been teaching them over the season and make sure that everyone has something personal to work on.
This week we are going to Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc has three sides (1. Versant Mont Blanc aka the "Hotel" side, 2. Versant Faustin and 3. Versant Nord), we are meeting on the Faustin side or the Zone Adrenaline, so please look at the map and make sure that you are going to the correct chalet. Allow extra driving time - Mont Blanc is farther away!
Clinic starts at 8:25 outside. Double-check the staff FB page Saturday night for updates or better yet sign up for the staff text updates. Pack your bags the night before so you don’t forget your helmet…gloves…pants…etc
Report Cards
All report cards need to be handed in before clinic. If you are missing a card for a student, we will have extras available in the morning for you to fill out. If you have a card for a student that does not belong in your class, bring that card to me in the morning and we will get it to the correct instructor.
Evaluations
If you have students that missed the evaluations last week, we will have a shortened version on the Suisse (green) and the Lynx (blue). We will assign the times during clinic.
Choice of terrain
The easiest run down the Faustin side is Panda. The easiest run down the Hotel side is Yodel. Both Panda and Yodel have steep pitches that can be avoided with a bypass.
Reduce the speed of your group as you approach the class signs or the chairlift.
Ski on appropriate terrain and at the speed of your class. Stop or slow down at intersections to avoid losing students, making sure that all of your class is behind you.
Bathroom stops
Due to the tiny washrooms in the Faustin chalet, every class must make a pitstop at the Hotel chalet to use the washroom halfway through the morning and afternoon lesson. For the higher level groups, you can also pitstop at the North side.
Après-ski
Après-ski Round 1:
We invite you to stick around and ski/ride at the end of the day. There will be refreshments and snacks in the Faustin chalet at 3:45pm...plus we have some prizes to give away.
Après-ski Round 2:
We are expecting a slow drive back to Montreal on Sunday...due to the snow...so why sit in traffic when you can continue the après-ski? All Rod Roy Sunday staff are invited to Bar de la Vallée (520 Rue Principale, Saint-Sauveur, QC J0R 1R5) in Saint-Sauveur. Pizza provided. Talk to your carpool.
