Today at COP, the winds picked up and for safety purposes, the chairlifts had to be shut down on several occasions. Some Dr E.W. Coffin students were on the west chairlift when it stopped. The lift took some time to get started up again (approximately 15 min).  The staff at COP got the lift going again and our students arrived safely at the bottom of the hill. We wanted to assure you that the safety of our students was the main concern of the Dr. E.W. Coffin staff and the instructors and ski school staff at the hill. Mr. Pedenko and Mrs. Saunders were in contact with the group in the lower part of the chairlift while they were waiting and the group that were stopped on the next chair uphill were with their instructor. There were also some students at the very top of the chair lift who were with their instructor or within one chair of their instructor. Students really enjoyed their lessons and experience at the hill!

Highlights
What did you learn today?
We had another amazing day at COP. Students continued to progress and have lots of fun. We heard from the COP staff what a pleasure our students have been to work with over these last 3 days. Students showed excellent character, determination and care for each other and their coaches. It has been a wonderful 3 days. 
How did you show what you learned?
We worked with our friends and coaches to challenge ourselves and to try new things and learn new skills. 
What do you need to learn next?
We would love to go skiing/snowboarding again :-)
