2022 Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Practice

We are happy to offer Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe practice starting Saturday January 8th 2022 from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at the Catamount Outdoor Family Center. Please contact Dave Bogdan <dbogdan@ieee.org> or 802-865-3840 to sign up. 

As with many things, there will be some changes this year. The Lodge will not be open due to COVID-19 restrictions so we are shortening the practice by half an hour and will not gather indoors after practice. Snowshoes are not allowed on the groomed cross country ski trails so you will be on a different trail. We will have to check in and register as a group at the shack in the parking lot. The coaches will do the check-in but we need to know who is attending each Saturday. 

Catamount will require all participants to complete a waiver. You may complete it on-line here: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/588f7c34a36c8/web/%20target=

Catamount will not be offering free equipment this year. They will charge $20 for skis and, with advanced notice, can have snowshoes available for $5. You will be responsible for paying for equipment if you need it. 

As always, we need a current medical to participate. I can check your status when you sign up. 

Practice will run from January 8th through March 5th. If the trails are closed, we have the option to walk the Burlington Bike Path. At this point, we are not planning on any indoor alternatives.
