It is mid-winter and there is a general sense of relief in the area ski community right about now.
Not many months ago, some feared the upcoming snowsports season would be a disaster. Instead, reports from most corners are upbeat these days, certainly better than what many believed would be the impact of COVID-19 on outdoor recreation. In our area, there seems to be general optimism for what comes next, traditionally the best sliding months of the season.
It hasn’t been an easy run. On top of all the usual challenges of getting a ski season underway, the slow rollout of pandemic-era regulations last fall presented new concerns: how many tickets can an area sell, mask wearing, social distancing, lodge capacity, food service limits, lessons availability, equipment rental.
