Downhill ski resorts in Ontario can start up the ski lifts again once the province lifts the shutdown restrictions in their region.
Downhill skiing is permitted, with distancing, capacity restrictions, and mask wearing, in all five colour-coded “zones” contained in the province’s COVID-19 Response Framework, including in the grey/lockdown category.
Under the safety plans created by Canadian Ski Council and the Ontario Ski Resorts Association, ski hills that opened were requiring guests to wear masks on chair lifts, and had limited access to indoor facilities with physical distancing measures in place and outdoor warming centres available.
