Deseret News reported, “Anticipation for Utah’s upcoming ski season is high, with resorts making meticulous plans during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain safety on the mountain for visitors and employees alike.”
Starting Friday, November 19th, Park City and Brian Head will be the first of Utah’s 15 ski resorts to welcome winter sports enthusiasts back for another season of the “greatest snow on Earth” after the coronavirus outbreak forced a premature end to last season.
With months to observe how the pandemic took hold of the nation, resort managers have had lots of time to plan how to run their operations effectively while still providing an exceptional environment for patrons to have fun and stay safe.
The resorts are making it easy to get here. “We have a pretty solid promotion going on right now with ‘Salt Lake Bound Freedom Found’ that we have some incentives ski-wise.”
For a minimum of two nights lodging in the package, customers get two free super passes that are good at any of the four Cottonwood Canyon resorts, or you get a $200 Delta voucher, he explained. The incentives have attracted some interest, he said.
