THE 2021 STATE WINTER GAMES HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
Following our recent decision to suspend all in-person competition through December 31st, after meeting with Sugarloaf Event Staff and learning of their restrictions driven by COVID-19 state protocols (i.e. use common gathering areas, housing, venue space, etc) and keeping the health and safety of everyone involved our first priority, we have come to this difficult decision.
We understand that this announcement will bring incredible disappointment to everyone that had planned to attend. However, we continue to be committed to providing all athletes & coaches (teams) an opportunity to continue to practice, train, and prepare for when in-person competitions resume. And we will do this by launching our 2021 Winter Sports Challenge!
COMING in DECEMBER
