Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz announced on Aug. 27 the company’s 2020-21 winter operating plan, which includes requiring guests to wear face coverings to get on the mountain and in all parts of resort operations, including in lift lines and riding in lifts and gondolas.
Other requirements will include maintaining physical distancing on chairlifts and gondolas, including restrictions or reductions in the number of people on lifts. Ski schools will be open as will on-mountain dining, but with changes to help keep guests safe. As well, there will be a mountain access reservation system and limits on lift tickets to prioritize passholders.
Heavenly and Northstar will open on Nov. 20, with Kirkwood slated to open on Dec. 4. | vailresorts.com
