Black Hills Regional Ski for Light Covid-19 Event Protocols

Dear Participants, Guides, and Volunteers,
After a long discussion during the Black Hills Regional Ski for Light Board of Directors
meeting November 3, 2021, the following Covid-19 protocols for our annual winter event
dates January 24-27, 2022, will be as follows:

Be aware, the Covid-19 virus and its variants are currently active in South Dakota
and the Black Hills Region.

  1. We would ask any participants, guides, and volunteers not to attend the winter
    event if you are feeling sick, have symptoms, or have tested positive for the
    Covid-19 virus within the days prior to January 24-27, 2022.
  2. It is HIGHLY recommended that all participants, guides, and volunteers be
    vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus. Vaccination for the COVID-19 virus will not be
    mandatory.
  3. Facial masks are HIGHLY recommended while indoors in tight spaces where
    social distancing practices may not be able to be followed. Wearing a facial mask
    will not be mandatory.
  4. Black Hills Regional Ski for Light will ensure that an adequate supply of facial
    masks and hand sanitizer will be available at all event venues.
    These protocols were vibrantly discussed. In the end, these protocols follow the current
    Covid-19 guidelines in place for the State of South Dakota, the City of Deadwood, and
    Terry Peak Ski area. If any additional Covid-19 restrictions come about, we will do our
    absolute best to keep you informed.
    Sincerely,

Ray Bubb
Acting President
Black Hills Regional Ski for Light

Ski for Light offers two skiing venues, cross-country and down-hill along with snowshoing and snowmobile rides at our annual winter Ski for Light (SFL) event held in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This four day event is held the latter part of January. The cross-country area is located on Wharf Resources, a mine reclamation area, while the down-hill area is located at Terry Peak Ski Area.We welcome all blind/visually impaired individuals and mobility impaired individuals to join us and participate in these activities. All levels of experience from the individual who has never skied to the advanced skier are welcome. The highlight of the event is the last day’s fun races where skiers have a chance to show off their skiing skills.

We also host a summer event at Camp Bob Marshall in the beautiful Black Hills! This event includes bicycling, boating, fishing, hiking and just plain fun in the sun!
