• COVID SAFETY

    BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: We are requiring proof of negative Covid-test result taken within 72 hours of arrival to Chicago. With team members arriving on Thursday, this means you must take your test no sooner than Monday, and no later than the morning of your flight. This is required for all team members, regardless of vaccination status.

    ANY type of Covid test will be accepted. PCR, Rapid, etc. A photo of your negative result must be emailed to Health@Mountain.com. For the health, safety, and comfort of all team members, if you do not submit your negative result on Thursday, you will not be able to attend the Welcome Party.

    ON SITE IN CHICAGO: You will pick-up your credential and an additional Covid-test at your assigned hotel upon check-in. You must take this test and produce a negative test result prior to the Company Meeting on Friday. Test results will be verified as you check-in for the meeting.
