2020–21 Winter Operations

For the health and safety of guests and employees, everyone will be required to wear a mask where social distancing is not possible and/or wherever the state or the resort requires. For each resorts' specific requirements, please visit the corresponding details link listed in the table under "Safety Protocols & Resort Operations" on this page.

Utah is functioning on a color-coded system where each color represents the overall restriction level based on the effect COVID-19 is having on specific communities throughout our state. Utah's leadership, state agencies, and the state's public and private partners look at the data every day and work together to make sure Utah has the best recommendations for its communities and businesses. Find the current restriction levels for each county in the state and more information at coronavirus.utah.gov/utahs-health-guidance-system.

No. There are currently no COVID-19 travel restrictions in the state of Utah. Visitors to Utah or those returning home to Utah after traveling are not required to quarantine upon arrival. Read more details and get the most up to date information at coronavirus.utah.gov.

Some resorts (such as Park City Mountain) will be requiring passholders and ticket holders to make reservations for the days they plan to ski and some resorts are requiring their guests to purchase lift tickets in advance. Some may not require any reservations, depending on their operations. Please check each resorts' reservation notes in the table under "Safety Protocols & Resort Operations" on this page, and click the resort's corresponding details link to learn more.

Each resort will have their own procedure on reservations and cancellations, so we encourage you to read all of the details specific to that resort when purchasing a day ticket or pass. Beyond lift tickets, many resorts are offering unprecedented pass assurance that will allow pass holders to defer their pass if needed. If you want to read more about pass options, click here.

You may remove your mask while skiing down if you can maintain physical distancing from other guests. Ski areas will require you wear your mask in many areas, including in lift lines at the bottom, so we advise that you keep it easily accessible.

Neck gaiters, tubulars, and similar face coverings can be used as a facemask, but please note that some resorts, restaurants or other businesses may ask you double it up (by folding it in half). For example, Woodward Park City requires this in their indoor action sports facility and in their base area.

Yes; resorts will allow guests of the same party to ride with other guests in their party.

Ski areas will accommodate single skiers and riders to either ride alone or ride with one other single skier (if the chairlift allows adequate spacing in between). If you feel uncomfortable with a ski lift placement or situation, kindly ask one of the employees at the ski lift if they can seat you as a single rider.

Snowbird's Aerial Tram will run with capacity limitations to best accommodate the health and safety of our employees and guests. Foot traffic will not be permitted on Snowbird's Tram this year. Snowbasin, Deer Valley and Park City Mountain will be loading familiar groups and families on gondolas. Snowbasin's Allen Peak Tram will be loaded to a capacity not to exceed six guests per tram car.

Please check each resorts' website for more information on their night skiing operations.

Several resorts offer apps for checking resort status and more, and some resorts (such as Snowbird) are launching completely new apps this winter to provide real-time status information. Stay tuned for additional information or visit each resort's website for more app details.

Snowbird will be requiring parking reservations (read more here), and Solitude has paid parking only. Not all resorts have released specific parking details yet — please visit the corresponding details link listed in the table under "Safety Protocols & Resort Operations" on this page to read more. Be sure to check each resort's website for parking information before head to the resort.

Check the resort's conditions page or parking specific page before heading to the resort for the most up to date information. Snowbird will have real-time parking information available on its new app set to launch this at the beginning of this winter.

Some resorts will require reservations for some restaurants, and others may just limit capacity within the restaurant to allow for social distancing. Many resorts have expanded their carry out options as well.

Many lodges will have altered operations and capacity limits, and many may not allow sack lunches. Please check with each resort and be prepared to eat at your car or outside if the resort does not allow guest food in the lodges.

Reservations for rental gear will be required at many resorts and shops will be limiting store capacities and requiring masks. If you do not want to rent gear in a shop, we recommend reserving your rentals with Ski Butlers instead.

Most resorts will still be offering lessons, but many have altered their typical ski school programs and/or eliminated their daycares for this winter. Please check each individual resorts' website for the most up to date information on ski school and daycare.

Yes! The ski bus will continue to run this season. Please check Ski Utah's UTA page for the most updated information and new safety guidelines for riding the bus, including reduced capacities and mask requirements.

The Park City bus is still running. You can find more information on the Park City website here.

Please check with each lodge or hotel for their specific protocols and operations at swimming pools and hot tubs.

Many spas are still open with adjusted operations. Please call ahead or visit the spa's website to find out more about their specific protocols and operations.

Bars will be open at some locations, but many will have adjusted operations or may be closed entirely. Be sure to call ahead or visit the bar's website to find out more about their specific protocols and operations. Masks will be required at all bars and restaurants unless you are actively eating or drinking.

Most restaurants throughout Utah are open for business. Each restaurant has its own operational updates, and some may be carry out only or have limited seating. We advise calling ahead to check on menus, reservations, and carry out options. Masks will be required at all restaurants unless you are actively eating or drinking.

Some resorts may not allow drinking fountains to be used this winter. We recommend checking with each resort or planning ahead to bring your own water just in case.

If you feel symptoms of COVID-19 (these are usually flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches and chills, or decreased sense of smell or taste), you should self-isolate immediately to protect others and find a testing center near you as soon as possible. Follow all recommendations made by the state of Utah and the testing center. For more information on coronavirus protocol and testing in Utah, go to coronavirus.utah.gov.

Testing capabilities for COVID-19 have increased dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic. The state of Utah advises that anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms (which now includes fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches and chills, or decreased sense of smell or taste) should be tested for COVID-19. There are many options for testing in Utah, including drive-thru locations operated by Intermountain Healthcare, the University of Utah Health, Steward Health Care, and TestUtah. For more information on how to access testing at these sites and to make your experience at these sites go as smooth as possible, go to coronavirus.utah.gov/testing-locations.

Each airline has established their own adjusted operations and safety protocols that include required face masks, plexiglass shields at check-in, and updated boarding procedures. We advise checking with each airline to find the most up to date information. Salt Lake City Airport opened the first phase a brand new airport in September, and Delta Air Lines continues to offer hundreds of nonstop flights into SLC.

Many airlines have adjusted their change fees to accommodate for flexible changes. Delta Air Lines has permanently eliminated change fees for tickets purchased for travel within the U.S., making it easier than ever to remain flexible on your travel plans.
