A note from Ollie at Craftsbury yesterday:
“[please] remind the MNC skiers that they have to ski in groups of 2 individuals from different households.”
It’s difficult to do this. We’ve all been apart for a very long time, and a snowmaking loop is a great place to see friends whether you planned to or not. But please, lets all try our hardest to respect rules and regulations that are in place for the safety of ourselves and those around us. Ski areas are working very hard to let us do what we love, and we’re indebted to them for operating at all this winter. Even moreso those ski areas up north where the natural snow hasn’t fallen.
It has been a tough year for all our age groups. It is made harder by seeing ski programs in neighboring states hold practices and timetrials where guidelines are very different only a border away. It is made much harder by seeing programs within Vermont travelling in vans together, training in groups together, in some cases holding training camps outside our state together, and seemingly treating winter like business-as-usual at times.
But our club is committed to following guidance and this is a responsibility shared by all of us. We cannot control what other programs do: we can only control our own behaviors and, as I’ve told many (and our Juniors most frequently) we will all appreciate the team we have and the time we have together much more once the world is back to normal.
Please stay vigilant.
-Adam
