Season Starts Tonight! At Comedy for Courage

Its early November, there is a Low Pressure Front moving in with snow from the Rockies and Courage Center is busy moving into Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy for the First Ever Comedy for Courage.  Coincidence?  Maybe…. but still join us TONIGHT, November 7th at 7:00 pm, to laugh in the face of winter, to celebrate the coming snow season, and kick off the Courage Center Ski and Snowboard program.

Wild “Bill” Bauer, Tim Bedore, and Dave Mordal are headlining the event. 

Tickets are available at the door or secure your spot online right now by visiting www.couragecenter.org/comedy  for tickets.

We’re Going to Jackson…

Well maybe you are.  A condo was generously donated to the program for the week of March 20-27 and we are starting the bidding at 475.00.   Jackson has had great snow all season, and the skiing is epic.  So take the week off and head West in support of your favorite adaptive ski program.

Stay tuned for weather/program related information.

Skiing is a Go! Monday, February 21st

Hey Everyone,

I know its pretty snowy out, but with just a few more weeks to the season that is all the more reason to get out there and enjoy it. 

I understand that road conditions may vary depending on where you are traveling from so please use your best judgment when traveling to Hyland Hills and give yourself plenty of time to arrive safely. 

If you are unable to make it or are expecting to arrive late please leave a message with your name, and discipline and a number to be reached at.  See you on the hill.  Remember the Ski hotline number is 763-520-0495.

Sunday, February 20th

Sunday programming at Hyland Hills and Trollhaugen is meeting as planned.  There is a possibility of some rather inclement weather with high winds and snow moving through the area. Please use your best judgement, and give yourself plenty of time to arrive safely at your specific site.  As always, if you are unable to make it please leave a message with your name, discipline, and site on the hot line 763-520-0480 so that your Site Coordinator can make the necessary adjustments.

As a reminder Courage Center programming is not being held at Welch Village as requested by Welch Village Management, due to the expected high volume of President’s Day Weekend.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2nd Annual Moonlight Madness Event a success.  It was a great time, and we had record crowds (1,205 pre-sold tickets!) all in support of this great program. More to follow on this soon.

Monday, February 14th: We are a GO!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone,!

Of course we are skiing.  Its warm, its Valentines Day, and we have SNOW!  I’ll see you all out there.  Stay tuned for a special surprise tonight as well.
