Dear Sir:

On January 3rd, I took my daughter and three teenagers to Paoli Peaks for a day of boarding and skiing.  I had not been to Paoli for a year or so.  We were met by Rebecca.  She is a delightlful lady, and treated us like royalty.  I salute you for having such a tremendous employee...THINK SNOW!

Sincerely,

My family wanted to extend a special thank you to the Paoli Peaks racing staff that runs the NASTAR events. My son, Wyatt Wilcox, really enjoys the racing and the staff has been really welcoming to him. He isn't the fastest racer, but he is very consistent as was pointed out to us by Jeff Hood today. Wyatt is currently ranked #1 in the nation in the Alpine National Ranking (2008-2009 season) - Male - 9-10 Bronze Division. He really loves to race and your staff makes it possible.

I just wanted to compliment your staff for a GREAT first experience. The staff was very friendly, informative, and understood what stuggles first timers (myself)go through.
From the guys that got the skis and adjusted them to the folks on the lifts.
We only did the 5-10pm and we finished early. I would like to take a lesson next time b/c I can see where it would be very helpful. I had a great time and will definitely do this again. I would like to again say thanks to PP staff for a wonderful first impression and experience!

Please pass along a big 'thank you' to Emily and Maggie. They taught our 11-year-old, Maddy, how to ski today. We couldn't believe how well she did for her first time. Simply amazing. Emily and Maggie are a definite credit to themselves as well as Paoli Peaks. Super friendly and very knowledgable. They made Maddy's day a memorable event. Thanks so much!

My husband and I and our ten year old triplets (Anna, Evan & Ryan) visited Paoli Peaks over the Christmas/New Year Holiday break. Peter was very helpful in the enrollment of the kids in Snow Kamp. The kids had wonderful snow board instructors: Sarah, Dillon and Spencer. Our kids attended the Snow Kamp twice. We came back a third day on our own. My husband learned to snowboard too. We had so much fun we weren't ready to return to Florida. Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. Thank you to everyone that made our experience at Paoli Peaks wonderful.

My wife and I came to ski last Friday because of the Free Teacher's day. I had never been to Paoli before and was quite pleased with the entire day. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity for teachers! We hope to come back prior to our Spring Break trip to Beaver Creek, Colorado.

I  wanted to tell you that all the employees were so nice, friendly, and helpful on our visit to Paoli Peaks Saturday, January 17th.  Even as busy as you were, everyone was so nice!  Our instructor was great as I mentioned Saturday.  Then the guys working the chair lifts on the beginner slope were so friendly and helpful.  Shaun C. helped Lindsey get her skis on and always ask us everytime were we having a good time and did we need anything.  All of them always helped us get up when we fell  which was many times for me!!!!! I thought you might like to know!

Just wanted to thank you for the free teacher's days. I didn't know about the first one, but have made the second and third one and plan to come again on Friday. I have tried to get more of our staff to come and try it, but have only been successful with my principal. It was his first experience at skiing and he loved it! I am trying to get support so I can bring my 6th grade class down for an extended day field trip. It was always the best field trip of the year. But a couple of years ago, the school corporation decided we could no longer have extended day field trips because of the buses.  I am working hard to get this trip back and maybe this will help by getting more teachers interested. Also, my son and daughter are teachers and they have joined me. Thanks for your generosity!

Just want to let you know that Boy Scout Troop 188 had a wonderful time this past Sunday.  All of the boys want to come back and we certainly will.  In our troop for many of the boys it was their first time skiing. In scouting it is said that the experiences boys are exposed to will likely become a life long hobby.  As a scout master for 13 years, I can attest that many of the boys (who are now men) still ski and bring their friends from college down for an afternoon.

Love the snow cams,,,,glad to see that you've added another for the tubing...they're awesome..

Because I work in HR department and hear more bad than good, I wanted to tell you a good thing…..

I have been most impressed with your timeliness to answer all my questions, whether it be a nervous parent etc…and also, thank you for the ticket/passes you have gave out at HHHS for youth with A’s & B’s on their report cards. In a world that only recognizes your “athletic ability” and puts on the back burner academics…thank you for this…..we have approx 11 youth coming and I some of them will be their first time coming and I am sure after this experience they will be back….

Please pass that on to who was responsible.

Dear Paoli Peaks - I wanted to drop you a note about by son, Zachary Holland. Zachary was wounded by an IED in Iraq on May 3, 2007. He suffered a broken pelvis, broken vertebrae, collapsed lung, a laceration to his face, broken knees, broken left ankle, broken lower right leg and broken right foot. During his recovery, his doctors told him he would not be able to run or play basketball again,  but he might be able to snowboard. With this goal in mind, he worked and worked in rehab. On 2/28/09 he realized his goal and snowboarded again! Thank you for being there and helping a Wounded Warrior realize his goal and return to normal again. Thank you and God Bless.

Good Day
I visited your facility 01/21/07 and had a wonderful time.
I did have a fall on one of your slopes and twisted my ankle. I just wanted to let you know I was attended to promptly and professionaly. Steve picked me up from the slope and brought me to the first aid station.
Cindy let me sit and check my ankle out. got me some ice and made sure I was ok.
It was not servere injury but had it been I would have been in great hands with these people.
Just wanted to say thanks

I was very pleased with two of your instructors. Irmina Polit and Jason Arnett
were GREAT! They were courteous, patient, and full of enthusiasm. They are definitely "Keepers"!

Hello:

I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you all do. I skied at the peaks last Wed and despite the warm weather the trails were suprisingly good. I have skied all around the world but the peaks is my favorite. I learned to ski at paoli in 1987 I believe. I've been back a handful of times since and I always have a great time. Your staff is always courteous and helpful and I only wish that I lived closer so I could ski the peaks more often. Keep up the good work and I hope to bring my children there someday.

Hey Val -   Just a short note to thank you and the whole crew for another good, good season at the Peaks.  It's not the terrain or the vertical that keeps folks like us coming back; it's the very fine, fun people!!!  And we love every last one of you!!!   Susie & Sam Season Pass Holders Southern Indiana
