Update 11.1.... more updating on the most recent update...

Good Afternoon Again:

Shortly after sending Update #11,  I received two notifications.  One from Hyland and one from MPS Athletics.

1.   The MN State High School League is allowing virtual practices.  These can begin as early as Monday, November 23.   I am leaving for Montana on Monday to pick up Luke and won't get home until November 25.  So, we may need to wait until Thursday or even the 30th to begin.  But at least we can hold virtual practices.  Watch your emails for more information. 

2.  Hyland IS Opening just for the weekend but with limited terrain and MANY changes.  You can read Hyland's announcement below.   

I will be back in touch very soon.   Consider yourself blessed.  You received TWO emails from me today.  Some would say that makes for a great day.

Hyland AnnouncementOur maintenance crew has been hard at work, and Hyland Hills Ski Area will be open with limited hours and operations on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22.
Based on Governor Walz’s most recent executive order and the Outdoor Recreation and Facilities guidelines laid out by the DNR, we have made adjustments to our operations. We know that some of these changes are significant, and we ask for everyone’s cooperation and help in following them so that we can provide an enjoyable experience throughout the season. The following changes will be in place at Hyland Hills through Friday, December 18.
