MEAD, Wash. – Three weeks into the ski season and Mt. Spokane sold out its daily lift tickets for the first time the day after Christmas.
There are new COVID-19 safety protocols in place, including limited capacity and having to buy tickets ahead of time online.
General Manager Jim van Loben Sels says they’re selling about 1,000 tickets per day, then season passholders can come up unrestricted.
The day after Christmas, they saw somewhere between 2,500 to 3,000 people on the mountain, which is at the 80 percent capacity they want for social distancing.
Spokanite Travis Torbenson and his friends were one of the first few people on the lift Saturday.
