Traveling this year is more difficult than ever before, and sometimes impossible at all. We believe that the pandemic will end soon, but today we have to learn how to live in such a situation. In the meantime, we will try to clarify where you can go skiing and snowboarding this season and what measures were taken to protect you from coronavirus at ski resorts.
2020 has dramatically changed the criteria by which travelers choose a vacation destination. Ski holidays 2020–2021 are no exception. In addition to the location and infrastructure of the resort, tourists have to pay attention to how safe the trip is and what restrictions must be observed.
Skiing and snowboarding at the time of coronavirus: will there be a 2020-2021 season?
Last season ended at the end of March due to the situation with COVID-19, and by the winter, skiers and snowboarders are doubly missing the slopes. Much is still not clear, but one thing is for sure: the ski season will take place.
There are lots of great ski resorts in Colorado, which had already announced their openings! We are talking about the famous Winter Park, Beaver Creek, Telluride, Breckenridge and others.
What rules and restrictions should tourists follow?
There are no universal rules for all ski resorts in the USA. The measures are determined by the local administration and the management of the resort.
At all resorts, skiers and snowboarders are required to maintain social distance and wear a mask in public areas, including cable cars. As a rule, facemask must cover the mouth and nose. There are exceptions when a mask is required to be worn even under a closed helmet.
Somewhere there are restrictions on the number of skiers and the number of people in one booth. Playrooms for children may be closed. The rental offices may not provide clothing and gloves, only skis, snowboards and boots. The restaurants do not offer buffets.
Accommodation can be difficult for friends and unmarried couples. This is due to the recommendations to settle only members of one family in one room. Not all hotels adhere to this rule, but it is better to clarify in advance.
Some ski resorts are canceling New Year’s events not only indoors but also outdoors. Restaurants on a festive night may be closed completely or work with restrictions. To compensate for the inconvenience and create a holiday atmosphere, hotels come up with new formats for celebrating the New Year. Somewhere they will transfer events to open areas with a limited number of participants, and somewhere they will be limited to the delivery of festively decorated dinners by room.
Nevertheless, neither masks nor fines discourage tourists from resting – according to the forecasts of tour operators, in the winter season of 2020-2021, Colorado ski resorts will experience a real stir. The demand for recreation in the complexes will be at least double.
What restrictions are taken by the administration of ski resorts to prevent the spread of the virus?
All tourists enter the buildings wearing masks, if not administration makes a warning and asks them to purchase protective equipment at any ticket office of the complex.
Protective equipment has been purchased for all employees, and the premises have been prepared accordingly. Ski resorts regularly make announcements about ARVI prevention measures.
Some resorts organize observatories for those in contact with those infected with the coronavirus.
All employees regularly take the COVID 19 test.
Winter season for active tourists and skiing holidays 2020–2021: is it safe to ski during the coronavirus pandemic?
The owners of ski resorts are well aware that in the current conditions, the requirements of guests to sanitary standards and safety have increased, and they are trying to minimize the risks. If you follow the safety and hygiene rules in good faith, the risk of contracting coronavirus on vacation is no higher than in your city.
What happens if I buy air tickets, and book a hotel and then cannot fly?
Due to the pandemic, major carriers have begun offering flexible flight booking conditions. Some airlines allowed changes to economy class tickets for flights within USA free of charge and some introduced a tariff with the possibility of refunding or changing the departure date.
Accommodation for holidays in a winter resort should be chosen according to the same principles – so that you can cancel your reservation.
Will my ski pass be refunded if I cannot use it?
As a rule, money for an unused ski pass is refunded, but you need to apply for a refund before its validity. In the event of the forced closure of the lifts, the money will also most likely be returned. Refund conditions for ski passes differ from resort to resort: we advise you to carefully read the rules before buying.
How to get to the ski resort in the 2020/21 season?
Most of the tourists prefer to buy tickets to Denver, then they can choose several options how to get to the ski resort: order a taxi or use public transport. Of course, the shortest way is to buy tickets to small towns, where most of the resorts are located, but you need to keep in mind that flights are irregular and sometimes canceled due to weather conditions. If you are an international tourist, it is better to get to Denver than travel to your destination.
The ideal way to get there is to order individual transfer: this way you will minimize contact with other people, and the trip can become an interesting adventure.
