The 2020/21 Ski season will look a little different in Colorado this year. The Colorado Resorts have all taken precautions so you have a safe ski season; see the list below so you are prepared before you hit the slopes!
EPIC PASS
Beaver Creek⎪Face coverings are required in order to access all of its mountains and inside all buildings. That includes people standing in lift lines, riding chairlifts and gondolas, and taking lessons. Pass holders will be required to make a reservation before arriving at the mountain. Throughout the season, pass holders will be able to make as many week-of reservations as their pass type and availability allow. The early season will be reserved for pass holders only. They will not sell lift tickets until Dec. 8. Booking a reservation will turn on pass access for that day, so there will be no need for pass holders to bring anything but their pass and access the mountain as usual. Pass holder reservations will be made at Epic. Scheduling Open Date: 11/25/20

IKON PASS
IKON Pass. Make reservations here
Aspen ⎪They have worked thoughtfully to come up with a pass and ticketing strategy that attempts to maximize fun for everyone — the local community, Aspen Snowmass passholders, day ticket guests, and the Ikon and Mountain Collective passholders — while allowing for effective social distancing and volume management. Generally, this winter will be quieter than it’s been in years, likely down at least 20 percent, with the reduction in international visitation, group events and corporate travel. The passes and pricing this season are designed to spread people out and enable capacity controls should the pandemic require them. Scheduling Open Date: 11/26/20
Arapahoe Basin⎪Beginning November 9, reservations will be required at A-Basin for Ikon Pass holders. Reservations are not required before November 9. They encourage and want to see Ikon Pass folks this winter. This action is being done to manage COVID-19 conditions. They want to spread out visitation and to make sure that no single day sees too many people. Ikon Pass Friends and Family tickets will still be available although we have not yet finalized the fulfillment method. For most days, the reservation system will be a non-issue. The Ikon Pass community is large and they just need to be careful that not too many people show up at the same time. Scheduling Open Date: pending
Copper Mountain⎪Face coverings and social distancing required. Scheduling Open Date: 11/30/20
Eldora ⎪Facial coverings will be required for both staff and guests in all indoor spaces, except when seated to eat or drink, and outdoors when 6 feet of physical distance cannot be maintained. Whether you are riding a shuttle, waiting in a lift line, loading and riding one of our chairlifts, or entering our facilities, you will be required to wear a face covering. Enabling appropriate spacing between parties is another important step to ensuring a safe experience at Eldora. Based on our skier terrain and skier volume, we will limit the number of guests who typically have access to ski and ride on certain days. The following measures will be implemented to effectively manage volume and appropriate physical distancing on all days of the season. Parking will be done via an online reservation system. New this season, guests will be able to order food, beverages and retail items with touchless technology. Scheduling Open Date: 11/23/20
Steamboat ⎪They are going to do everything in our power to make sure our Steamboat season pass holders and Ikon Pass holders are able to access the mountain,” Perlman said. For people without a season pass they are offering scheduled vacation packages. This includes any bundle of a lift ticket with one or more products, such as lodging, equipment rentals or airfare. The ski area cannot guarantee guests will be able to reserve specific dates after Nov. 2, he cautioned, particularly during peak periods. For instance, if people want to book a trip during a holiday, they should do so before Nov. 2. Steamboat Resort is not currently offering standalone lift tickets. Walk-up window sales and undated lift tickets will not be available. Scheduling Open Date: 11/21/20
Winter Park⎪To help us keep our resort healthy and open for adventurers of all types, we will ask our guests to commit to our health code of conduct, and continue to take measures such as wearing a face mask, frequent hand washing, and maintaining at least six feet of distance from others. Scheduling Open Date: 11/18/20
