Race season is fast approaching, and events have begun to appear on the calendar across our region.
Every state has different guidelines and requirements related to COVID-19. In Vermont, our restrictions are quite hefty, and MNC is committed to abiding by these guidelines.
To that end, our club does not condone or support attending ski races outside of Vermont at this time (12/14/2020). While we’re hopeful that conditions with COVID-19 may improve with time and our ability to travel and compete will improve too, we need to remain diligent.
Leaving Vermont is reserved for “essential travel” and also requires quarantine upon re-entry, not to mention suggested quarantining prior to leaving Vermont as a precaution against bringing the virus to other places.
Furthermore, with the still-standing postponement of organized recreational activity we feel that we cannot effectively commit to the common race-day team support such as van transport, group wax support, and general gathering as a team.
Any racing done outside of Vermont is undertaken at the risk and decision of individuals.
We hope that we can return to more group training, competition, and interaction soon! Thank you for staying safe and healthy.
Ansel Sprague did last week’s Equipment Race and posted an impressive time of 35.77 seconds! Although his father feels there is room for improvement, I would be thrilled if all my skiers could get their equipment on that fast! Great job Ansel!
