Were All In This Together.A successful ski and ride season in Vermont this winter depends on each of us accepting ashared responsibilitywhen it comes to safeguards and procedures related to COVID-19, and educating ourselves to know before we go, and do our part to help keep ourselves and others safe. For those coming to Vermont from out of state, that means adhering to all interstate travel regulations including the completion of a mandatory self-quarantine. For those both in-state and out, it means staying home if you are not feeling well; practicing safe physical distancing from those not in your travel party; wearing a mask or face covering; frequently washing hands/using hand sanitizer; limiting indoor time; and obeying all signage and directions once you arrive at your destination ski area. Some areas require reservations for parking, lift access and/or indoor seating; it is imperative before you embark to make sure youve taken the necessary steps to reserve space for yourself and fellow members of your travel party.
