It is always a good idea to bring your operators up-to-speed with pre-season training.  This gets the mind refocused on both vehicle characteristics and plowing operations.  If the most experienced operator picks up a few tips and tricks – think of what the less experienced could be learning!  The value of this training can never be underestimated.
