It’s a common sight for those lucky enough to get a spot on the hill at Park City area ski resorts: people in lift lines without masks, or with a nose hanging out, often standing within 6 feet of each other.
Skiing and snowboarding can offer a brief reprieve from the pandemic, an outdoor activity that feels different — and safer — than many aspects of everyday life.
But officials say the coronavirus can still spread even in the most beautiful settings, and the same mask-wearing and social distancing rules remain in effect at resorts as everywhere else: Guests must wear a mask over their nose and mouth and maintain 6 feet of distance from people who live in different households.
