We’re in the middle of the pandemic that’s changing everything we know about life. Among the things it has affected is the way we spend holidays, and winter holidays are no different. Here are some ways in which skiing will be different this winter.
Expect Fewer People
Many still don’t want to travel—just to be safe—while others do and can, but there will generally be fewer people in your favorite ski resorts than what you’re used to. Reservations may be needed, too, so ask upfront if you don’t want to risk being declined entrance.
Priority
People with season pass may have priority at certain ski resorts over guests interested in buying daily tickets. Since the number of guests is limited, it’s natural for them to prioritize returning customers, but this can typically be solved if you book your place in advance.
New Lift Rules
Meeting new ski buddies will be more difficult this year, as you won’t be able to ride the lifts with people you didn’t come with. It is what it is, and we can only hope next year will be better!
