- Brundage Mountain Introduces the Learn to Ski Guarantee
- Brundage Mountain Introduces the Learn to Ski Guarantee
Learn to ski "worry-free" with unlimited beginner lessons McCALL, ID - Brundage Mountain Resort is reaching out to attract new people to the sport of skiing by offering a revolutionary new program designed to ensure that they'll learn to ski. The program is being launched in conjunction with national "Learn a Snowsport Month". For a single package price of $149, prospective skiers aged 11 and up can take as many beginner lessons as they choose this season in order to master the basics of skiing. They are also provided with rental gear for these lessons at no additional charge."We want to take the risk out of learning to ski," said resort spokesperson, April Russell. "Different people learn at different paces, and it's important to know that you can come back for as many lessons as you need without shelling out more money each time." Participants must sign up and take their first lesson before the end of January. Subsequent lessons can be taken any time during the remainder of this winter season at no extra charge. The program is designed to teach people to stop, turn and ride the chairlift at the beginner level, even if that takes several two-hour lessons.
"Our snowsports instructors are passionate about sharing the mountain experience with our guests. It's one that everyone should have. The Learn to Ski Guarantee is the perfect way for us to express this commitment," said snowsports director, Seth Jacobsen.
Once the new skiers have completed the Learn to Ski Guarantee program, they'll have the option of purchasing a second package for $199 that gets them three more lessons at the next level, and a 2009-2010 Winter Season Pass.

An experienced children's art instructor will introduce the children to a variety of art mediums, and the classes will also take campers outdoors to learn about the mountain environment and get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of chairlifts and snowcats.
"Our goal is to offer an affordable way for children to get in touch with the natural environment and explore their own creativity,-said program director, Shayne Large.
The program costs just $20 per child and lasts for four hours on two consecutive Saturdays. There are two sessions to choose from, and all art supplies are included in that fee.
"It's easy to draw inspiration from the beautiful mountain setting,- said instructor Jennifer Church. "And we'll be sending the campers home with personalized works of art, which will include gyotaku tote bags, tie dye t-shirts and nature portraits and prints.-
Jennifer Church is a mural artist with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design. Jennifer has offered many art lessons in the area, both at the Kaleidoscope Children's Art Festival and Creative Campus.
Location: Brundage Mountain Kid's Center (Bike Shop)
Cost: $20 per child for a two-day session. All art supplies, including tote bags and t-shirts are included!

- MCPAWS - Auction for the Animals Benefit Party
- MCCALL, ID , Thursday, July 31, at 5:30 p.m., animal lovers are invited to attend MCPAWS' Auction for the Animals at Whitetail Club and Resort. This special party, held every other summer, features cocktails, dinner, and a live and silent auction - all to benefit homeless, abandoned and abused animals.
A sumptuous dinner will be prepared by Whitetail's chef. The silent auction will include a large variety of art, and one-of-a kind items, many of which are animal- themed. There will also be a custom-made dog bed, a case of Spanish wine with a set of hand-blown wine glasses, a cruiser bike, and a long-time favorite - creative and colorful ceramic pet bowls, individually designed and hand-painted by local artists.
The live auction, long thought to be the best in McCall, will feature condominium stays in both Puerto Vallarta and Hawaii, a weekend getaway package to Park City, Utah, a raft trip, a massage a month for a year, and much more.
There is much to do in McCall this summer, but this is a party and fundraiser you don't want to miss. Seating is limited for this always-popular event so register early. Tickets to the Auction for the Animals are $75 each. To purchase tickets, sponsor a table, or for more information, please call MCPAWS at 208-634-3647.
MCPAWS, a non-profit animal welfare organization formed in 1998, is committed to maintaining a high standard of care and pet adoption processes and to promoting responsible pet ownership. They shelter, care for and find homes for more than 800 animals each year. Since opening in 2002 they have taken in and found homes for more than 4,000 cats and dogs. MCPAWS Regional Animal Shelter serves all of Valley County, Idaho, an area of more than 3,400 square miles.
