Week 6 - February 21, 2026 - Mont Blanc
Brahm:
Hi Everyone,
Olympic Spirit Day! To celebrate the last day of the season, we always do a theme day. The theme this year is OLYMPICS! Please decorate your helmet, wear red, display some maple leafs...be creative!
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, so please look at the map and make sure that you are going to the correct chalet. Here is the address/link for the Faustin side that you can plug into your GPS: 122 Chemin Mont-Blanc, Mont-Blanc, Quebec J0T 1J2
Allow extra driving time - Mont Blanc is the farthest ski centre we visit in the Laurentide program!
Clinic starts at 8:25 outside. 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.
Lesson Plans
You know the drill… The lesson plans must be submitted online: WEEKLY LESSON PLAN.
Apres Ski
There will be some time to do a few extra runs after class. Following, will meet for some apres ski (refreshments and snacks provided) and awards in the Faustin chalet (time TBD).
