As a former employee of this BILOS, I wish the building could be utilized to help our community.
Lance supported: Transform the Vacant Bilo Building into a Community Sports HubAs a long time, Black mountain resident. We need more spaces indoors open to the public. Options for our kids, indoors. For a long time I’ve wished for something to happen with this building. I hope it is considered.
Jenifer supported: Transform the Vacant Bilo Building into a Community Sports HubDoes Crosscut want to be seen as a professional venue or not? There’s plenty of other places to ski around the valley— many of which, arguably offer better terrain and conditions than Crosscut. Rendezvous, Homestake, Lone Mountain, Lindley….. This has been a recurring point of failure for this discussion since the 90s, and I need the decision makers, to understand this. Crosscut *IS* biathlon. So if we aren’t going to support that, then what’s the point? It was the whole reason for the ranch becoming what it is currently. So if the board is going to turn its back on the athletes who have helped to turn it into the world class training center that it is now, to save a buck, there will be consequences for the board’s bottom line. People will go elsewhere. We can ski anywhere. We went through a similar process when I was racing, and it’s disappointing to see a similar thing repeating itself here. Elite athletes bring you credibility— if you’re just going to cash in on that and then ditch them when you don’t need them anymore, it’s pretty cruel. And word gets around. These are the people that eventually become the coaches for your programs.
Seth supported: Keep Crosscut's Elite Biathlon TeamI hope Crosscut will reconsider their decision on the elite biathlon team. As a long time resident of Bozeman I have been proud of the success of the Elite Biathlon team. My kids were not a part of biathlon but many of their friends were influenced by the team, the coaches and the competition. Crosscut's original mission was to provide elite skiing opportunities. It is disappointing to see the organization moving away from this mission. Much of the funds raised were for this purpose. Please reconsider.
Sally supported: Keep Crosscut's Elite Biathlon TeamMy son, Grayson is one of the athletes hoping to join this team next year. In addition to the facility hosting the 2025 Nationals, he was looking forward to visiting MSU, where he plans to attend next year. Crosscut is one of the few programs that offer student athletes the ability to attend college and continue to participate in biathlon at an elite level. Ending the program without consultation of the community, coaches and athletes is inexcusable. There must be another option.
Brad supported: Keep Crosscut's Elite Biathlon TeamAs a Bozeman community member, I am shocked by Crosscut’s decision to cut the elite biathlon program. I personally know some of the dedicated athletes of this sport and it saddens me to think their biathlon future is cut short by the very organization that cultivated their interest in the sport. Surely there exist unexplored creative solutions to the perceived problem(s) leading to this decision to cut.
Angela supported: Keep Crosscut's Elite Biathlon TeamDiminishing this program will not only take away the dreams and aspirations of these young, amazing athletes, but the future of biathlon is so limited in the USA and this facility was/is the hopes and dreams of seeing the sport grow in the USA and moving forward beyond. Please think about these consequences and I’m sure we can come up with a plan to encourage and strengthen this program at crosscut and also to use it as a platform for other facilities and to encourage athletes to pursue their dreams! Sign the petition.
Stefanie supported: Keep Crosscut's Elite Biathlon TeamAs a Brewster Alum and former player for Coach Mulvihill I cannot stress how Important it is for athletes to be comfortable in their environment to perform as well as receive a fair shot at playing. Since the North Salem players have already started their playing careers with Brewster players it is a natural progression for them to continue. It is absurd to ask families to pay the $300 without any chance to play competitively. I would love to know why the decision was made to join Somers.
Liam supported: SAVE North Salem (NY) Middle and High school FootballCoach Pete impacted so many lives that will last forever in the Whittier community. He was more than just a basketball coach—he was a father figure and mentor to so many of us. Coach Pete IS Whittier, and he deserves all the love and support that's coming his way.
Roman supported: Rename Whittier Adult School Gymnasium in Honor of Coach Pete LopaCoach Pete is the reason I am a high school girls coach today. He helped me find my passion and love for the game as a coach as well as a former player. I am grateful to have had him in my corner and an important influence in my life 💙
