Just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our field trip, and our guide did a fantastic job. Thanks!
Sean Soper, Outdoor Education Teacher, Argyle Secondary School, North Vancouver
Overall, we have had a pretty smooth year with helpful staff and the best rental system in the lower mainland !
Sue Gordon, Teacher, Minnekhada Middle School, Port Coquitlam
We had a great time on the trip and the feedback I got from my students basically was, “Let’s please do this again.” All in all, it was a pretty stellar day. Thank you for being so patient with all my questions. Your staff was very well organized and made the whole process – from bus pickup, to rentals, to lessons, to lunch – a breeze. I will be doing another trip for sure next year.
Damon Stoelting, Teacher, David Thompson Secondary School, Vancouver
First of all, I want to thank all of the staff at Mt Seymour again for the stupendous experiences over the years that I have planned ski/snowboarding with you. You are all so helpful, welcoming, and so great with the kids. The number of times that the staff has taken their time and encouraged anxious students on to the mountain amazes me.
Sandra Cadez, Teacher, Hawthorne Elementary School, Delta
The students loved doing the full day up on the hill - 9:00 - 6:00. I know we had nothing but amazing feedback from the students about the lessons - the instructors were top notch and made it such an amazing experience for so many of our kids who had never been up the mountain before. We had such an awesome time last year - I had kids email me over the summer to make sure we were doing it again this year. You run a phenomenal program and we feel so blessed to be able to be a part of it.
John Watson, Vice-Principal, West Coast Christian School, Vancouver
Well organized, Lanie was a great guide with excellent communication skills. Our students learned a lot about Mt. Seymour area and history.
Bobby Nishi, Teacher, Stratford Hall, Vancouver
The whole day ran smoothly! Lots of things for the children to do. The winter discovery program was the right length for kindergarten students and included interesting facts and fun games.
Lina Wu, Teacher, Waverley Elementary School, Vancouver
We appreciated all of your patience, care and understanding with all the changes to the invoice and answering all our questions. We will be back next year. Thank all the instructors who the students really enjoyed for sharing their skills, being strong leaders, encouraging them and being so positive and kind.
Andrie Levey-Bates, Teacher, Blueridge Elementary School, North Vancouver
The experience was awesome! You've got some wonderful and patient staff and our students enjoyed the lessons so much many of them cannot wait to ski and snowboard again.
Stephanie DiGiacomo, Neighbourhood Assistant, Brittania Elementary School, Vancouver
What an exciting day the kids had at Mt Seymour yesterday! A+ to you and your staff on the excellent organization and execution of equipment and lessons.
Patrick Genuist, Teacher, Sunshine Hills Elementary School, Delta
Hi Gail. Thank you for another great experience at Mt Seymour Ski School. We really appreciate the quality of service and care both you and Chris provide. You really go above and beyond what is expected. I tell everyone that Mt Seymour is the best local mountain for ski school and young children. We look forward to coming back next year. The kids had an amazing day, the kind lifelong memories are made of.
Erica McArthur, Teacher, Riverside Secondary School, Port Coquitlam
The students had a great day. The organization of lunch was much better, although we were a bit short on tables and chairs. The instructors were so wonderful and knowledgeable. The support in the rentals was plentiful, patient and interested in helping the students. Cudos to a great team.
MJ Moran, Teacher, Begbie Elementary School, Vancouver
I wanted to thank both of you with your tremendous staff for making the first year on the mountain with our Grade 5's a success. The feedback from parents, staff and students have been very enthusiastic.
Jonathan Tang, Teacher, Spul'u'kwuks Elementary School, Richmond
I wanted to reach out and say what a wonderful first experience we had. We are really looking forward to our next day up there. All our students had great fun and great things to say about the instructors. Our parents are impressed too!
Josephine Sorochan, Grade 6 Teacher, St.Pius X Elementary School, North Vancouver
You guys are a total class act from the moment we walk in the door to the moment we leave. Best mountain to deal and work with hands down.
Linda Epplette, Teacher, Queen of All Saints, Coquitlam
YOU GUYS ROCK!!! We absolutely loved our time and will be back next year!!
Adam Roberts, Teacher, Earl Marriott Secondary School, Surrey
Just want to say thank you for making our day at Mt Seymour a big success. I heard so many positive feedback comments from the staff and students at Fraser River Middle school regarding the instructors and rental shop staff members. The patience, helpfulness and positive encouragement from everyone was amazing. I love how everyone at Mt Seymour works collectively to make the students and adults experience feel memorable. We had a lot of students today first time skiing or snowboarding. Judging from the positive feedback and response, it won't be the last time they come back to Mt Seymour. Please pass on a big thank you to the instructors and rental staff members. They were amazing and stood out in so many positive ways.
Ken Leung, Grade 7 Teacher, Fraser River Middle School, New Westminster
Thank you so much for a FANTASTIC day at Mt Seymour Chris and Gail and your whole army of staff!!! I would describe the day as flawless! We as a staff really appreciated how highly organized and helpful the staff was in getting the ski tags on coats, into the rental hut and outfitting the kids with equipment, to organizing them into groups and getting them out on the hills! We have received excellent feedback from our students. For the vast majority of our students, this was their first experience at Mt Seymour. I have heard that many students are planning on coming up to Mt Seymour with their parents . I was hoping to secure a date for next school year as soon as possible so we can do this again next school year.
Kim Johal, Queensborough Middle School, New Westminster
The trip was perfect Gail. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. I will highly recommend you to my fellow PE teachers in other schools. From the instructors to the organization, it went really well. Also the weather helped a lot! Hopefully we will get to do a longer trip next year.
Kelly Hackett, Pythagoras Academy, Richmond
I just want to send a shout out to Chris and the Ski Instructors at Mt Seymour. Our School took part in a 4-session ski/board lesson program as part of a school field trip and were more than pleased with their dedication to teaching the kids to ride/ski and the organization of their program. This was our first year and we looked at all the Mountains in the lower mainland. We chose Mt Seymour due to the size of the mountain and the amazing program they offer. Chris has always been available to answer my questions and take care of anything we needed. I highly recommend Mt Seymour as your first choice for your ski/board school trip. Thank you to the Staff at Mt Seymour for assisting in making our school ski trip so memorable.
Stefanie Eastcott, PAC President, Belmont Elementary, Langley School District
Everyone (parents and teachers included) had an amazing time and the guides worked well with the students and adults. We will be looking forward to booking next year. The combination of tobogganing and snowshoeing was great. It gave the students a chance to enjoy an activity they would not normally get (snowshoeing) with a more dynamic/exciting activity (togogganing).
Craig Thomas, Beaconsfield Elementary, Vancouver
Thanks again for being an incredible host for our field trip. By all accounts from chatting with kids on the bus home and at school today, students enjoyed themselves on the mountain, despite the soggy conditions. As always, your staff was awesome! I had the opportunity to be in a snowshoeing group with Ben (one of your instructors). He was amazing! Seriously outstanding. Great rapport with the kids, encouraging and very knowledgeable.
Cory Beisiegel, W.A. Fraser Middle School
We had a great time and our snowshoe guide was very patient with a high-energy group of boys. I also want to let you know that one of your male staff members, went out of their way to drive my student with cerebral palsy from the main hut to the tube park. Then at the tube park other staffers accommodated his disabilities by helping him to the cable and allowing him to the front. You and your staff are doing an amazing job of working with the schools and with disabled students.
Doug Hume, Pitt Meadows Elementary
The kids all had fun last Wednesday. I think they have all found a new passion. Thank you to your wonderful instructors who were so patient with them.
Heidi Dy, South Delta Home Learners
I loved that the kids got to work with actual tools like the tarp, rope, and shovels. They really enjoyed the little 'snow melting' setup they had to build too. It was a really nice, neat package that each guide had with them for their group.
Amanda Coutts, Confederation Park Elementary
We loved the field trip and the students all mentioned it as their favourite Grade 7 memory in the yearbook.
Candice Loh, Ecole Riverdale Elementary
Thank you so much for making our trips to Mt Seymour such a stress-free, streamlined, positive experience. I just really appreciated working with you through the weeks and months prior to our event. Thank you, too, to the amazing, professional staff who made the lessons fantastic for the kids. They will remember these days for the rest of their lives. I look forward to next year! Thank you!
Sheila Hutchinson, Montgomery Middle School
I just wanted to say a huge 'Thank-you' to you and your staff for being so helpful and patient with our students. Your special needs teachers were awesome! I've noticed a big improvement in your overall customer service/relations, and we were all very pleased with this year's Mt Seymour experience. Keep it up!
Darrell Reimer, Band/Music/Gr 7 Teacher, Richmond Christian Middle School
Thanks so much! You and your team made the experience life-memorable! I so appreciate your attention to detail and your flexibility. Looking forward to another great program next year!
Diane Ehling, Vice-Principal, Cove Cliff Elementary School, North Vancouver
Your level of organization with groups is so beautifully streamlined and efficient, and each and every staff member who assisted us (working through paperwork details, meeting the bus, Rentals, Ski Patrol, instructors, lift attendants, cafeteria) was warm, knowledgeable and went out of their way to help. Our staff and parents were very impressed, but of course it is the students' voices that speak loudest.
