When is vail being released

Single-day lift tickets will go on sale Dec. Walk-up tickets will no longer be available for purchase at the window, but day-of guests can purchase tickets from their mobile devices and pick them up at the window. Mamula noted that the company seemed to be concerned the state would place capacity limits on all resorts without taking their differences into consideration. Mamula drew a comparison to when indoor restaurant spaces were capped at 50 people, which felt overly restrictive to larger restaurants.

The state later amended its capacity limits for restaurants with more than 7, square feet. On chairlifts and gondolas, related groups can ride together or people from different groups can ride together while maintaining the required distance.

That means two single skiers or riders can ride on opposite sides of a four-person or larger chairlift or in large gondola cabins. On a six-person lift, two doubles can ride on opposite sides of the seat. Lessons and on-mountain dining also will be available with some changes. Full-service, sit-down restaurants will operate with reduced seating according to existing state guidelines. Quick-service restaurants will have a cafeteria-style approach, with guests moving through a single-file line and selecting ready-to-go hot and cold food options before moving to the cashier.

For ski and snowboard lessons, instructors will undergo health screenings, and participants are required to confirm an online self-health screening prior to their lesson.

Class sizes will be limited to six people, and lessons must be purchased in advance, according to the release.

Face coverings required required in indoor settings, including restaurants, lodging properties, restrooms, retail shops, rental locations and on buses regardless of vaccination status. No face coverings required outdoors, in lift lines, on chairlifts or in gondolas, unless required by local public health authorities.

This requirement includes those guests 12 and over in ski and ride school programs that include lunch. Dining reservations — Use the EpicMix app to book dining on the mountain. Cashless transactions — For guest and employee safety, all transactions are cashless unless otherwise required by local law. This includes hotels, restaurants, ski and ride school, and all other points of sale.
