Alpine Updates - April 8th, 2020
Dear Team Summit Colorado Alpine Ability athletes, All Alpine Parents and Alpine Coaching staff:
Governor Polis has extended the stay at home order until April 26 resulting in the continuing postponement of Team Summit Alpine activities. Please see specific information about camp plans, conditioning activities and 2020-21 program plans below.
I join you in looking forward to getting over the hump and beginning a gradual return to a new normal. Whether in two weeks, two months, or longer we are preparing and adjusting our plans to resume our programs as it is safe to do so.
Aldo
