Going skiing will no longer be a spur of the moment decision; deliberate planning will need to occur prior to trips. -Be prepared to be outside: while skiing itself is naturally an outdoor activity, many of the other experiences on a ski trip usually happen indoors. Those things cannot happen this year, and skiers need to be prepared to spend the entire day outdoors. This includes eating outdoors, whether via a tailgate party or a food truck. Locker rooms will be closed, so be ready to use your car as a changing area and place to put on your boots. Remember to bring sunscreen and water, too! -Be exible: exibility is key in the Covid era. Restrictions and rules are constantly changing as the world battles a pandemic, and being mindful of these changes will make planning a ski vacation much less stressful. It is extremely important to be aware of the quarantine requirements of the resort that you plan to visit, especially if it is out-of-state or country. Resorts might need to shut down at the last minute if there is a viral outbreak. Flights might get cancelled. Anything can happen, and being understanding of the new world we live in will be bene cial to all.
