Alumni of the WVC Ski Management program, Ski Instruction program and the Ski Team are invited to the 2013 WVC Programmer Reunion starting at 4 p.m. Saturday in Hampton Lodge.

"This is an opportunity for the community and WVC alumni to connect and spend a day doing something they love while supporting their community college," said Stacey Lockhart, executive director of the WVC Foundation.

 

“Not many people realize it but WVC’s relationship with Mission Ridge goes back over 50 years and some of our alumni and faculty at the time were very involved in helping to get Mission Ridge up and operational as a local ski destination.”  “WVC also had a very strong ski instruction and management program as well as a nationally recognized ski team with members on the Olympic team.”  Today, you will still find WVC alumni teaching and running resorts all over the globe.”

 

“We are excited celebrate our long standing relationship with Wenatchee Valley College by hosting “Ski for WVC” and the Ski Programmer Reunion for a second year.  It also gives us an opportunity to give back to an organization in the Wenatchee Valley that is doing so much for our community by helping to ensure that we keep affordable, quality education accessible to all who choose to live and play here,” said Jordan Lindstrom, marketing director at Mission Ridge.

Local Retailer Kicks in to Keep Patrollers Afloat!

on Thursday, 07 February 2013. Posted in Press Release, Announcements

Mission Ridge Ski Patrol is proud to announce a partnership between Arlberg Sports, a local outdoor retailer, and the Steve Burchett Memorial Fund to outfit the men and women of Mission Ridge's Pro Patrol with the BCA Float 32 Backpack.arlberg-logo

 

The partnership will give Mission's Pro Patrol the newest tool in avalanche safety and help give patrolers another level of safety while they work.

 

The BCA Float 32 is designed for pros, guides, and dedicated backcountry skiing and snowboarding junkies. When deployed, the backpack creates buoyancy and helps keep the user afloat on the surface. The 150-liter airbag not only decreases your burial depth but also protects your head and neck from trauma in an avalanche.

 

The float airbag system does not guarantee survival in an avalanche incident. Educate yourself, make good decisions, and know before you go.
