Park City ski area sets COVID-19 guidelines, including no walk-up tickets
Walk-up lift tickets have become a casualty of COVID-19, at least at Park City Mountain Resort and other Vail Resorts-owned properties.
PCMR announced Thursday it plans to open as per usual on Nov. 20. Yet that date and the ski area’s terrain will be about the only things that will be normal for guests this season. In an attempt to complete a full season during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vail Resorts has instituted several new regulations for its 34 North American ski areas, including PCMR in Utah.
PCMR is the first resort in Utah to announce its protocols for mitigating the virus this winter. Among the changes are:
- A reservation system and a limit on daily lift tickets that will prioritize season-pass holders
- A mask requirement in all parts of the resort, including in lift lines, on lifts and in gondolas
- Chairlift restrictions that allow only guests who are skiing or riding together to board a lift. Some exceptions include: two singles on opposite ends of a four-person lift; two singles or two doubles on opposite ends of a six-person lift and two singles on opposite sides of a gondola cabin.
Lessons, rentals and dining options will still be offered, but some changes will be made to comply with best standards for preventing the spread of the virus.
