The 2020-21 ski season will look a bit different with COVID safety protocols in place, limitations on day ticket sales and several area resorts opening fi rst only to passholders. Season pass sales are also being limited, so buy a pass to your favorite resort(s) ASAP.
One big difference for the upcoming ski season is less of an emphasis on being the fi rst to open and a focus on being able to open safely due to the pandemic. Mount Rose and Boreal usually are the fi rst to open for the winter season with typical opening dates in mid to late October but will not be opening until much later this year.
Read our roundup for ski area plans at TheTahoeWeekly.com and stay tuned for our annual Downhill Ski Guide in our Nov. 18 edition.
