Snow Valley is taking extra precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic, requiring visitors to wear masks as well as practice social distancing. The resort’s six-person chairlift will safely hold a whole family or groups that are together while also allowing for two singles to ride and still maintain social distancing.

The resort’s 300-foot moving carpet lift in the Children’s Learning Center also lends itself to healthy social distancing and group lessons will be limited in size. Food and beverage service will be available on a “take out” basis only, according to a news release from the resort.

Visitors are encouraged to purchase lift tickets ahead of time online at mthigh.com.
