Next winter will be unlike any that has gone before it. Or any that will follow.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen many resorts release their ‘operating policies’ for the upcoming season. From face-covering requirements and social distancing measures to ticket reservations, skier limits, and parking reservations, it’s fair to say that next season will be unlike any other.

  • most people are ok with mandatory masks and social distancing measures
  • four people said only a zombie apocalypse would stop them from skiing
