Winter Mountain Operation Details

“We are fortunate that our core experience of skiing and riding takes place outdoors, across huge mountains, offering fresh air and wide-open spaces for our guests. However, to help protect our guests, our employees and our communities amid this pandemic, some changes will be required this season,” said Rob Katz, Vail Resorts CEO.

Key changes outlined in the plan include:

  • Guests will be required 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.
  • To maintain physical distancing on our chairlifts and gondolas, we will only be seating related parties (guests skiing or riding together) or: two singles on opposite sides of a four-person lift; two singles or two doubles on opposite sides of a six-person lift; or two singles on opposite sides of our larger gondola cabins.
  • Ski and ride school will be offered and on-mountain dining will be open, but with changes to help keep guests safe.
  • Mountain access will be managed to ensure guests have the space they need. As such, the Company announced a mountain access reservation system and limits on lift tickets to prioritize its pass holders.

Full details on the pass holder reservation system can be found here. Lift tickets will go on sale Dec. 8 after pass holders reserve their priority days. Lift tickets will not be sold for the early season, but Epic Day Passes are available now.

Face Coverings

Face coverings are the norm in Eagle County and we thank you in advance for protecting yourself as well as our staff and residents during your visit. Please be advised:

  • Face coverings are not a substitute for maintaining 6 feet of physical distance in any public environment.
  • You should plan to wear a face covering when entering any place of business or public indoor environment (e.g. retail store, grocery store, post office, library, other government buildings, theater, etc.)
  • Vail and Beaver Creek have implemented outdoor masks zones for the winter season. The outdoor mask mandate applies to all within the zones regardless of social distancing. See the Vail mask zones here. See the Beaver Creek mask zones here.
  • If not specified by a town, masks are not required in an outdoor environment unless you are in a densely populated public outdoor space, or you cannot consistently maintain 6 feet of physical distance from non-household members for 15 minutes or longer.

 

Adapting to the needs of towns and businesses

Cities and towns throughout Eagle County have the authority to implement their own specific public health guidance, and visitors to those municipalities must adapt to that expectation.

Eagle County Reopening Information

Making progress
In response to the pandemic, Eagle County worked closely with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. On September 15, 2020 a statewide comprehensive dial dashboard was released which includes a risk assessment for each county in Colorado. The dial dashboard rely on three key metrics, including disease incidence rate, percentage of countywide COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and the number of hospitalizations for COVID-19, to generate a color-coded risk assessment. Each level further determines the activities and capacity limits based on the risk within each county.

We’re here for you! Please feel free to email covidquestions@eaglecounty.us with any questions, comments, or concerns about your stay.
