It outlines different levels of use, from non-use to routine and refinement, and suggests specific strategies like backwards building, pull out sessions, and think-pair-share activities to help students progress to higher levels of use. It also recommends techniques like recasting, repeated reading, and vocalized reading to strengthen language skills.
The document discusses writing systems and jobs in ancient Egypt. It explains that the Egyptians developed writing and counting systems as record keeping became more complex with the growing kingdom. There were four writing systems used: knotted strings for counting, hieroglyphs carved in stone to write about pharaohs' lives, hieratic script used on papyrus for orders and messages, and sign language. Scribes were important as they kept records, copied texts, and read and wrote for most Egyptians who did not learn the difficult hieroglyphic alphabet. Various skilled jobs included sculptors, painters, potters, weavers, and shipbuilders.

Pie Face has a very playful brand and if you don't already reject the monotony of the dreaded corporate 'slide format', perhaps this one will change you mind.

Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, was kidnapped by Pluto and taken to the underworld. Demeter became so sad looking for her that seasons changed and the ground became covered in white. Hermes eventually rescued Persephone but she had eaten food in the underworld so was bound to spend half the year there. This explains the seasons as Persephone divides her time between her mother and the underworld.

Pie Face make pies with funny little faces on them. They’re damn tasty. They are one of the fastest growing QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) chains in Australia. Not content with conquering Australia, Pie Face are now rapidly expanding overseas.
Pie Face is fresh & playful retail brand, but it’s a serious business building and funding one of the fastest growing and successful QSR chains not just in Australia, but around the world. Our challenge was to work within the irreverent context of the brand to help communicate and sell the Pie Face values to potential franchisees as well as Private Equity investors and global expansion partners.
Consideration was required for audience sizes ranging one-on-ones with potential PE investors, to groups of a dozen or so for franchise marketing and also board meetings, to large groups of hundreds at industry conferences. Communication materials were also designed for a variety of delivery formats including; digitally printed investor roadshow booklets, Powerpoint and Keynote presentations, interactive PDF booklets, videos of staff and franchisees were produced for the marketing website, presentations & social media campaigns.
Working with founder and CEO Wayne Homschek, CMO Ben Macpherson and the rest of the ExCo team, we help develop successful communications that have so far closed over $45m of PE funding, sold 50 franchise stores around Australia and sealed Master Franchise Deals in a variety of locations around the globe with more on the way.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

2. If you're planning on flying to Aspen from
Australia your first point of call will usually be
Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO).
Much of a muchness with both and not a lot
to get excited about. Decision time comes now
because do you fly via Denver then onto Aspen
or take the direct flight into Aspen?
After a long international flight you just want to
get there as quickly as possible so the direct
flight available from LAX or SFO looks the way
to go and it's definitely the quickest and most
enjoyable option when it works. But if the
weather is bad and planes aren't getting into
Aspen you could (a) end up not leaving LAX or
SFO, (b) end up being diverted 'somewhere'
and who knows how long it will take you to get
to Aspen now, (c) end up in Denver anyway.
The reality is, on the way over isn't really the
issue. If it’s snowing in Aspen it may take you a
little longer getting there ... but that's why they
invented bars so chill out and think of all the
fresh powder you’ll soon be enjoying.
Your answer to this little dilemma really
depends on your answer to this next question
being … “Is it absolutely imperative that I get
home on my scheduled departure flights?” If
your answer to this is YES, I must get home as
planned because I love work so much I just
don't want to miss it ... then you should
NEVER book the direct flight to LAX or SFO
out of Aspen. Reason is because if you are on
a late flight and it doesn't get out you'll need to
wait until the next day all the while hoping the
weather improves.
If you're scheduled on an earlier flight out of
Aspen (direct to LAX or SFO) and the weather
looks bad, then you can't just road it into
Denver and think they're going to be happy to
see you at your airline service desk when you
arrive. The friendly people at United (for
example) won't even consider re-ticketing you
until your scheduled flight from Aspen is
'officially' cancelled so that means you need
to wait in Aspen for that to happen before
hitting the road. If the weather is seriously bad
then you’ll need to allow up to 6 hours to get
to Denver by road. Can you see how hard this
is starting to get?
But, if you are scheduled on a mid-afternoon
flight out of Aspen to Denver and then have a
connection from Denver to LAX or SFO (OUR
RECOMMENDATION) then you can get up in
the morning, look outside and check the
weather channel. If the weather is looking
ominous then book a shuttle, hire a car -
whatever it takes - but get out of Aspen and
start heading to Denver International Airport.
If you get up early enough you’ll have plenty
of time to do this. And given you have a ticket
from Denver to LAX or SFO, they’ll be happy
to see you when you arrive at the service desk
and you will be able to make your international
connections.
1what is the best way to
fly into (and out of) Aspen?
2
We get asked this a lot and there are a numbers of factors to consider
before booking your flights.
3. Now if you fall into the popular category and actually enjoy skiing more than work (and don't
absolutely HAVE to be back as planned), and you have a standard travel insurance policy
(and an understanding boss) then the direct flight out of Aspen to LAX or SFO is great. Why?
Because it's up to the airline to get you out on the itinerary you originally booked. If that takes
them 3 days then bummer. You'll need to go back into town and ski the next 3 days courtesy
of your travel insurance. Not a bad option if you can get it.
1what is the best way to
fly into (and out of) Aspen?
3
We get asked this a lot and there are a numbers of factors to consider
before booking your flights.
"I DON’T REALLY CARE, my flight
itinerary is just a guide and I can get home
whenever" - book the direct flights from
LAX or SFO into and out of Aspen.
"I HAVE TO be back as planned" - go via
Denver in and out of Aspen. It’s the safe
option and in the vast majority of cases
you will get home as planned.
So in summing up ...
4. The core product here is the skiing, the
incredible snow, the mountains and the
environment. Why this gets lost on the myriad
of travel writers that venture here year after
year is beyond us. We love the fact that Aspen
is a vibrant ski town with great nightlife, bars,
shopping and everything else but the fact is
this is all peripheral to what is really just one
incredible and highly affordable ski resort.
Read on and you’ll see why.
2
Since the day dot it seems every journalist
that’s ever written anything about Aspen didn’t
actually go there to do much skiing. They write
about the movie stars, the rich and famous, the
glitzy shops and extravagant restaurants. They
keep re-hashing the same old stuff and in most
cases they plug whomever it was that gave
them the free trip. Rarely do they accurately
represent the ski resort and town that we’ve
grown to know intimately over the past 20
years.
It is true that some very wealthy people own
homes in Aspen. It’s also a fact that
occasionally you’ll see a well-known movie star
walking around town or maybe even skiing
past. Prada, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Bvlgari
etc… are all here. If you aren’t on a budget and
love to shop you’ll have a ball. But if you are on
a budget and love to ski, shop and eat out …
you’ll also have a ball.
The truly great thing about Aspen, and it has
always been so, is that it caters brilliantly for
every budget, every taste and most importantly
every skier / rider type. Here is a town where
the fusion of sport, environment, culture,
mountains, skiing, snowboarding, arts, food,
restaurants, bars, music, shops and genuine
people blends like nowhere else. We started
skiing here in 1991 and in those days you could
stay for $40 a night which back then included
your lift ticket. It’s not quite that cheap these
days but Aspen is no more expensive than
most other US ski towns and it’s not as costly
as some.
don’t believe the myth about
Aspen being too expensive
4
...incredible and highly affordable ski resort
5. NOTE:
And something to remember is this … skiing in -8ºC in Aspen is generally far more comfortable than
skiing in -1ºC in Australia. This is because Colorado experiences a dry cold during the winter
months - the result of its inland location and altitude. At Australian ski resorts we generally
experience wet days that hover between -2ºC to plus 5ºC with wind. As our clothing gets wet we
get colder and naturally become uncomfortable. You’ll never get wet skiing in Aspen.
Aspen Snowmass receives an average annual snowfall of 300
inches / 762 cm, and its fact that around 70% of this falls at night.

how cold will it be
in Aspen?
Trek Climb Ski operates its Aspen tours during January and February each year because we’ve
found (over the past 20 years) this period to be most reliable in terms of snow quantity & quality and
the day-to-day weather. The vast majority of our tour days are spent in glorious sunshine with great
(and often epic) snow conditions on the ground. Take a few minutes to watch our videos and look
through our photo galleries and you’ll see this to be the case.
6. Snowmass
With a vertical drop of 1,343 metres and 1,267
hectares of terrain, the sheer volume of
Snowmass demands repeat visits. After
experiencing even a slice of all the cruisers,
glades, steeps and terrain parks (via 21 lifts
and 91 trails), we guarantee you’ll be back for
more. And it doesn’t end there - Snowmass is
also home to millions of dollars in
improvements – Elk Camp Gondola, Sam’s
Smokehouse, Sneaky’s Tavern, the Treehouse
and the Sheer Bliss quad chairlift to name just
a few.

Aspen Mountain
Aspen Mountain - and its famous black-
diamond terrain - has kept the town of Aspen
on the map since 1947, serving up glades,
bumps and steeps for anyone who dares to
step off the lift. If the in-bound runs aren’t
enough, Aspen Mountain Powder Tours takes
skiers and riders out of bounds for runs on the
backside. More than 60 years later, the only
changes you might notice are the new gondola,
great Sundeck cuisine at the summit and Ajax
Tavern at the base area for some of the best
après in town.

That’s right, four mountains not one.
Aspen is actually
four mountains4

Even the trademark name ‘Aspen Snowmass’ is slightly deceptive as it only mentions two of the
four mountains that comprise Aspen. Four mountains and each is an entire ski resort in itself.
Here you’ll get away from crowded slopes and endless lift lines.
Anywhere else, you’d need to go on four separate ski holidays.
7. Buttermilk
Famous as the home of the ESPN
Winter X Games through 2012 and
voted #1 by Transworld Snowboarding
Magazine Reader’s Poll for the best park and
pipe in 2009, Buttermilk built its 50-year
legacy on wide-open and gently rolling trails
that cater to beginners and families. Keep an
eye our for Olympians, Winter X Games
champs and other park kids braving the new
Olympic-calibre, 6.7 metre superpipe in the
legendary terrain park.

Aspen Highlands
Aspen Highlands, celebrating over 50 years
as the locals’ (and Trek Climb Ski guides’)
favourite, boasts breathtaking views of the
surrounding Maroon Bells and an abundance
of expert terrain and groomed cruisers.
Hiking to the 3,777-metre summit of Highland
Bowl – Colorado’s ultimate in-bounds
backcountry rush - takes about 30 minutes
and rewards visitors with untracked descents.
With the addition of the Deep Temerity lift and
over 96 hectares over the last three seasons,
Aspen Highlands offers some of the most
challenging big-mountain terrain in North
America.

Green: There are no green runs on Aspen

chair. The veer left into Copper Bowl and all
the way down to Kleenex Corner. Here most
people will head down Upper Little Nell but
take Tower Ten Road into Summer Road to
give the legs a rest. The final stretch down
Little Nell and you’re all set to load back onto
the Silver Queen Gondola.
Black: For the best views of Aspen available
you can’t go past Aztec. Great when its been
groomed and more challenging when its
bumped up. Be sure to stop at the top and
don’t forget your camera.
Double Black: Way to many to choose just
one but we love Walsh’s, Hyrup’s and Kristi -
especially in fresh snow. And when the snow
is really on, anything left off Gentleman’s Ridge
will have you coming back for more.

Snowmass
Green: Take Max Park from the top of the
Village Express all the way down to the base of
the Big Burn chair.
Blue: Trying to pick just one here is impossible.
Snowmass is famous for it’s wide-open blue
groomers so in no particular order … Dallas
Freeway and Sneaky’s off the top of the Big
Burn chair. Naked lady off the Alpine Springs
chair and Grey Wolf and Bull Run off the Elk
Camp chair. In fresh snow the best blue run in
Aspen is possibly Long Shot which you also
access off the Elk Camp chair. Long Shot
involves a short 5 - 10 minute hike to the top
but its well worth the effort.
Black: Powerline Glades is our top pick. Great
all the time and incredible in fresh powder.
Showcase under the High Alpine chair is one of
the best bump runs in Aspen.
Double Black: On a powder day, as the name
suggests, head to Powderhorn off the backside
of Sam’s Knob. You could loop this run all day
and you’ll never get bored … but you will get
tired! The Hanging Valley Glades is also a must
ski but this is not a run, it’s a huge area. Easy to
access from the top of the Cirque lift or via a
short walk from the top of the High Alpine chair.
9. Aspen Highlands
Green: Take Exhibition chair to the top and head
past the Merry-Go-Round restaurant towards the
Cloud Nine lift. Ski past the Cloud Nine lift load
and Red Onion opens up. The perfect way to
warm up on Highlands into Park Avenue and
then down to the base of Exhibition chair.
Blue: We think the best ‘blue bumps’ in the
world and on Scarlett’s Run which you’ll find off
the top of the Cloud Nine chair. Meadows and
Kandahar are also favourite blues on Aspen
Highlands.
Black: Our favourite black run on Aspen
Highlands, in fact in all of Aspen, is Mushroom.
On the trail map its marked double black but it
isn’t that difficult. A little tricky to find the first
time, take Loge Peak chair to the top then ski
towards the Highland Bowl Snowcat. Head past
the Snowcat load area to the left then turn right
and follow the traverse for about 150 metres.
Mushroom opens up before you and it’s a leg
burner all the way down to the Deep Temerity
chair.
Double Black: Aspen Highlands is home to
some of the finest double black terrain in North
America. Everything off the Highland Bowl is epic
and well worth the walk. If walking is not for you,
drop straight into Whip’s Veneration where the
Snowcat drops you off. Steeplechase and
Olympic Bowl areas offer fantastic double back
terrain in all snow conditions.

Buttermilk
Green: Buttermilk is the home of green runs
in Aspen. We love warming up on Ridge into
Homestead Road all the way to the base of
the Summit Express chair.
Blue: Buckskin is accessed from the top of
the Summit Express lift (or Upper Tiehack lift)
and is a ripper. For a ‘blue’ cruise all the way
from top to bottom take Friedl’s off the
Summit Express into No Problem into Lover’s
Lane. This leads to Midway Avenue then take
Lower Savio into Columbine to the base. It
might be Buttermilk but this is still a very long
run and you’ll be ready for the chair at the
bottom.
Black: If you’re a snowboarder then you’ll
live in the terrain parks. If you ski then start
down Tiehack Parkway and try the steep
groomers Racer’s Edge and Javelin. Timber
Doodle Glade is fantastic in fresh snow.
Double Black: Buttermilk has no double
black runs.

You’ll hear, “best Italian place in town” when you ask any local. Intimate setting, as-authentic-as-
Aspen-can-get menu. Owner Tiziano Gortan strolls the restaurant with bartender Scotty Gibson
looking to pour the next glass of Tuscan; Chef Ruben is laughing at a table that claims they’re full

We know this sounds too simple to be the subject of its own
‘Top Ten Thing You Need To Know’ but read on.
So we’ve already learnt that Aspen has four
incredible mountains that in effect are separate
ski resorts in their own right. To get around from
mountain to mountain everyone uses the
extremely efficient and FREE bus network with
its hub right opposite Ruby Park in the heart
of downtown.
Most visitors to Aspen will plan to ski each
mountain, usually more than once. Aspen
Mountain is an easy walk from most
accommodations in Aspen and the others
(Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk)
are accessed via the free bus network. All the
buses have external ski racks so its not an
onerous task transporting your skis or
snowboard to and from the mountains each day
NOTE:
Many Trek Climb Ski Aspen guests purchase this
service for the entire 2 weeks they’re in town!
… BUT … if you really want to feel like you’re
on holiday be sure, at least once, to check
your skis into the ski transfer station located at
the base of each mountain.
For around $8.00 they’ll store and transfer
your skis overnight to the mountain you
nominate. You can then go and enjoy some
après, go shopping downtown, whatever you
choose, without having to lug around your
skis! The next morning simply collect your
skis from directly opposite the base lift at the
mountain you nominated.
Way too easy and very addictive.
16. ambassador who’ll offer you a free coffee (no
limit) and maybe a muffin. On the mountain this
extends to hot cider, water, sunscreen and
muesli bars - so make sure you have plenty of
room in your pockets.
Trek Climb Ski Aspen tours take this one step
further with plenty of après events that include
free beer, wine, soft drinks and food.
Glenwood Springs for a day off
Trek Climb Ski Aspen tours are 15 nights and
16 days duration. We do a lot of skiing and
guarantee our guests will get all the miles they
can possibly handle - even with a couple of free
days included. One of the best ways to spend a
free day is to hire a car or jump on the bus and
head down valley to Glenwood Springs.
By car it takes around 45 minutes.
In Glenwood Springs you’ll find some great
bargains at places like Sports Authority, Target
and a variety of shopping malls. Plenty of great
deals on ski equipment and clothing and
generally far cheaper than you’ll find in Aspen.
After shopping enjoy a relaxed lunch at Doc
Holliday’s Saloon for a real Midwest American
experience then head to the Glenwood Hot
Springs for a soak in the famous mineral bathes
established in 1888.
Our returning guests always manage a visit to
Glenwood Springs and consistently rate it as a
great way to spend a free day off the snow.
The hot springs provide for a relaxing afternoon
and our people always return loaded up
with bargains.
Bar Meals
The vast majority of restaurants in Aspen
provide the option of bar meals, which as the
name suggests, involves being seated at the
bar (or tall tables opposite) and ordering from
a specially designed bar menu. Prices are
cheaper than if you elect for full table service
and this works well if you’d like to be in and
out quickly. Plenty of Aspen’s high-end
restaurants are famous for the quality of their
much cheaper bar meals. The bar meal
experience at L’Hostaria and Cache Cache
is a must.
You don’t need a car in Aspen
We mentioned earlier the free bus network that
operates in Aspen and it works fantastically
well. Buses operate frequently to all important
and relevant locations around the town and
valley, not just the four mountains. That said, if
you’re staying in downtown Aspen then most
shops, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and
the gondola won’t be more than a 5 - 10
minute walk from anywhere.
If you are flying into Aspen airport, it will cost
you around $15.00 for a taxi to your
accommodation in Aspen or around $25 if you
are staying at Snowmass. You can catch the
free bus from directly opposite the arrivals
terminal but this will be a little tricky if you
have lots of luggage. But once you’re
checked in and unpacked, the bus network
will take you wherever you need to go.
Free coffee, drinks, muffins and sunscreen
(even a beer or wine!)
You know you’re not skiing in Australia when
you start getting things for free. Each morning,
regardless of which mountain you’re skiing at,
you’ll be greeted by a cheery resort

The reality is the skiing conditions in Aspen are
consistently fantastic and on this front we feel
incredibly lucky. It’s all the peripheral things
that turn a good ski holiday into a great one
and our formula revolves around this. Our
guides work for us because not only are they
fanatical about skiing, they genuinely love
introducing and sharing the magic of Aspen
and its four mountains with our guests. Our
guides don’t front up each day then disappear
when the skiing is done.
We’ll often enjoy après activities together not to
mention cocktail parties, dinners out, video
analysis sessions and our schnapps bars on
the snow are the stuff of legend.
If Aspen is on your radar and you’d like to join
a fun group - on and off the snow - that really
knows this town, then send us an email or give
us a call.
We’d love to have you join us.
My name is Nick Farr and I’m the Director of
Trek Climb Ski. In 2012, I was fortunate to
clock up my 20th season in Aspen - and many
of our guides aren’t far behind. The Trek Climb
Ski team possess an intimate knowledge of
Aspen built primarily on years and years of
skiing and living here. We’ve been guiding
skiers here since 1995 and enjoy a fantastic
relationship with the Aspen Skiing Company
who have grown with and supported us over
the journey.
Our tours have evolved slowly over the years
into the product they are today. The result of the
constant feedback we seek from our guests,
much of what we do and how we do it is the
result of listening to our people and introducing
their suggestions. It is a fact that some of our
guests have joined us in Aspen in excess of 10
times, and many more are in the 4 - 10 tour
bracket. Rarely does someone join a Trek Climb
Ski Aspen tour just once.
Whilst skiing is and will always remain our core
product, our tours strive to provide much more.
From the moment you arrive in Aspen you’ll be
greeted by our friendly team and be made to
feel incredibly welcome. You’ll soon meet all our
staff and your fellow guests and before long will
be out on the snow and enjoying the incredible
skiing conditions Aspen is famous for.
We are a social group with lots of après
activities scheduled throughout the two weeks
and our tours are perfect for singles, couples
and partners who ski at different levels. We
work very hard to ensure our guests enjoy the
best possible snow holiday experience and this
involves much more than just getting out skiing
each day.
A little unashamed promotion perhaps, but if you’re looking for the
best way to holiday in Aspen you’ve found it.
