GO Ski Members / Interested Members
We are once again in the unfortunate position to announce that we will not be able to organize a GO Ski program for the 2021-2022 season. Our executive team has been working diligently and cooperatively with Shawnee Mountain over the past several months to architect a program where we could offer the best possible experience for our members and those that work with us.

The restrictions imposed by Shawnee as they attempt to manage through their own COVID protocols would have resulted in a shell of a GO Ski program. We would have been severely limited in the number of members that could have enrolled, lessons would have been reduced and our ability to manage the daily operation and safety would have been altered. Additionally, we concluded that we would not have enough time to implement our own necessary COVID protocols to assure a safe environment for all participants (GO Ski Members, Parent Advisors, teachers, Driving Chaperones) at a cost effective value.

With that, we had to make the difficult decision to once again postpone GO Ski for another season. Our intent is to continue working with Shawnee Mountain to develop a program that meets our two primary objectives; Safety and Fun.

From all of your GO Ski Parent Advisors,
For now... stay safe, be well, visit Shawnee and think snow...

Dear GO Ski Supporters Past, Present and Future:
Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, we have decided to bypass the 2020-2021 season. There is just simply and sincerely no way we can maintain a safe and fun program. We wish you all a safe and healthy fall and winter and hope to be back up and running this time next year.

Still keep thinking snow.
