Who Should Attend?
SSA’s 24th Annual Winter Executive Ski Workshop is geared to self storage owners who are eager to strengthen their knowledge of the industry, hear what’s on the horizon, gain insights on facility operations, and find out about some of the most critical challenges the industry is facing today. If you’re new to the industry, networking opportunities abound with not only our speakers, but with other workshop participants as well. And, of course, if you ski or snowboard…that’s a great bonus!
What if I Don't Ski?
If you don’t ski (and there are quite a few attendees who don’t), no worries! The hotel concierge can give you a long list of activities to keep you busy, if that’s your desire. Great shopping and restaurants abound in both Teton Village, and downtown Jackson. In addition, there are many other activities you can enjoy: Dog sledding, Tubing, Snowshoeing, Snowmobiling, and plenty of Après Ski. Will you be able to fit it all in? We challenge you to try!
Opening Night Party
Our opening reception on Monday (January 25) will be an excellent opportunity to meet and greet your industry friends. We’ll have plenty of food and libation for all registrants! Pick up your registration materials and “talk business,” or plan your extra-curricular activities with new and veteran workshop attendees. We will have trail maps, restaurant information, and area promotional pieces for you. Whether you’ve spent the day in transit or on the slopes, you’ll find this to be a fun and relaxing atmosphere.
The SSA Dual Giant Slalom
A favorite activity for skiers and boarders of all ages: our annual Dual Giant Slalom Race. You’ll have plenty of practice time; the races won’t take place until Wednesday afternoon. Skiers of all levels may participate; this isn’t just for the “Olympians” in the group. Like the morning Yoga, the race is included in your registration fees. You will need to sign up prior to Wednesday morning in order to race.
Yoga For Everyone
These early morning sessions continue to be popular with our workshop participants. Our instructor conducts the classes so that “yogis” of all levels will benefit. You’ll come away energized, limber, and stress free…and with a new sense of appreciation for all of the muscles you re-discovered on the slopes.
Discounted Lift Tickets
We have arranged for discounted lift tickets for skiers and boarders. All workshop registrants will receive an order form to pre-order tickets. We’ll distribute most of the tickets at the Opening Reception, but if you’re arriving early, we’ll make arrangements for you to pick them up when you check into the Hotel Terra.
Informal Atmosphere
Previous attendees tell us they love the informal nature of the Ski Workshop. Networking is easier, packing is certainly less of a hassle, and it’s nice to get away from business attire. As you plan your trip, pack jeans, khakis, turtlenecks, sweaters, hiking shoes and boots. Leave the suits and cocktail attire at home…even the Closing Night Banquet is casual.
Closing Night Banquet
Thursday evening will be a great close to our Ski Workshop. A gourmet meal, great fellowship, lots of laughs, and many surprises await you. Medals will be awarded to the winners of the Dual Giant Slalom Race, along with awards for non-skiers as well. The closing banquet is included in your registration fee. If you are with friends who would like to join us, but are not registered for the Workshop, you may purchase additional tickets for them under the “Guest Registration” category.
